Seward, a man of great experience in coastwise navigation, laid out a course of instruction...
...goals were scored by the University, as compared with a total of ten scored by her opponents, and in five games no rival seven made a goal. The University team also defeated the Dartmouth team, which beat both Princeton and Yale. This alone entitles it to an excellent claim to the championship. In the rating of the college teams all these things were considered...
