...below zero, we regard it as a sure sign that some old brigadier will need "polishing." This is a very disrespectful way to speak of burying a brave old soldier, but have we not provocation? A funeral means two hours under arms, and a tramp through the cold and snow to the grave-yard where the volley that does honor to the departed, gives us an hour's work cleaning our guns. Long life to all that in tend to be buried here...
...first game of the season came off on Jarvis field, Saturday afternoon The weather was too cold for a good game, but in spite of this our men made a creditable showing. Allen was unable to play owing to an injury to his ankle, so Jones and Palmer of the freshman nine formed the battery for the first six innings, after which Winslow occupied the box.

As the floats were not yet in position, and the tide was low, the crews which went out were obliged to wade knee deep in the ice-cold water and mud. It was even necessary to push aside floating cakes of ice, which had collected in front of the platform of the boat-house. When fairly afloat, the boats ran considerable danger of smashing their bows against the halfhidden blocks of ice. The seniors went out in their...
