...anticipation of a close a d exciting contest between '87 and '88, nearly 800 spectators gathered on Jarvis yesterday afternoon. Had it not been for the strong west wind which blew across the field, no better condition of weather could have been wished.

The sides were made up as follows: Harvard - R. R. Belmont (captain), A. T. French, O. W. Bird, and E. L. Winthrop. Westchester - C. O. Irelin...
...representatives of the two classes for the possession of three canes. A heavy weight, middle weight, and light weight champion is selected from each class. At the appointed time, a great crowd collects in a ring on the campus, and then the heavy, middle, and light weight couples contest seperately for the canes. Last Tuesday the annual cane spree occurred at Princeton. The first spree, the light weight, was won by a freshman, who, as the Princetonian says, "after four rounds had been vigorously fought, secured the cane by a twist, and was carried off on the shoulders...
