...minor race to remain there several days, or even one night, to see it. It has already been declared by those who have arranged several races that to have two races in one day would be very undesirable, if not impossible, so that "to establish the custom of an annual Freshman race, to be rowed at New London at the time of the 'Varsity," as suggested by the Advocate, would not be possible...
...football season ended last Saturday with the annual game with Yale. From the reports of the matches already played by our opponents, and from our knowledge of the men who composed their team, we expected a hard game. For to oppose Yale's veteran eleven - all of her players had been at least one year on the 'Varsity - we had a team made up almost entirely of new men. Yale outweighed us, too, considerably, the average weight of her rushers being over 170 pounds. To support this line of forwards, they had Camp, Watson, and Badger, well known as fine...
...Annual Sports of McGill College (Canada) Athletic Association took place on Oct. 28 last, proving highly successful. By invitation, three Harvard representatives attended the meeting, and every thing possible was done by the McGill men to make them feel welcome.

Wendell, '82, won the 100-yards and the 1/4-mile run, the former of which, however, he nearly lost, through the track...
...spite of unfavorable predictions for the weather last Saturday, the annual autumn Class Races were rowed in barges; and, judging from the closeness of the contest, they may be considered very successful. There seemed to be a little confusion in the management, notably in the absence of one stake-boat, and in the tug-boat provided; but these matters were forgotten as soon as the crews got under way. The Sophomores drew the inside course, nearest Beacon Street, then came the Juniors, and on the outside were the Seniors. Owing to the absence of the stake-boat before alluded...
