...characterized the play, but the game now was still a very crude affair compared with the game we play. "The scrimmages were," Mr. Camp goes on to say, "simply writhing masses of vigorous kickers, and no man escaped.

When these articles appear...
...regular hare and hounds run of the H. A. A. was held yesterday afternoon. The hares, H. A. Davis, '91, and T. P. King, '91, left the gymnasium at 3.23 o'clock and laid the trail through Norton's woods and thence to Beck hall; from there along Mt. Auburn and Boylston streets to the bridge; then doubling, ran down to the Magazine street bridge, through Beacon park, Brighton, and North Brighton to the arsenal at Watertown, and from there through East Watertown to Brattle street, below Mt. Auburn, where they made the break...
