...with considerable credit. Their game with Adams, although against a very weak eleven, showed that they knew how to work together and to work quickly as so large a score as 69 does not admit of much dilly-dallying. The Andover game was played against worthy opponents who, all confess, played a good game. The better playing of the '88 men alone carried them to victory. Andover is a school which infuses so much life into its athletics, that its teams, especially elevens, are very hard to defeat. '85 was the last successful class to win a foot ball game...

And out of the varying fortunes of the Herald the DAILY CRIMSON comes; Let us hope that in its new guise; the paper may continue the prosperous career it has hitherto...
...fourth page, by the way, where there are no illustrations) the unfamiliar title The Yale Quip. Not that the Quip is in any respect like the journal of which it is a manifest imitation, from title page to the last advertisement, except in its typographical work. For we must confess that the paper is a great disappointment. After hearing its praises heralded abroad by the News in such terms of flattery, we expected something better...
