They now worked for a purpose, and a good shot by Woods drove the ball past H. Hodge and goal one for Harvard was safe. Time, 8 minutes.

We can only guess that the sturdy frame bore a great weight, and that those bleeding feet were dragged over many a terrible league, and that before he reached...
...procession started, two hundred Republican students commenced blowing horns, hooting and otherwise disturbing the procession. The parade stopped in front of Professor Perry's house and he attempted to speak. The students started a yell and drowned his voice. The cavalry in the procession then charged the students and drove them away. One old man flourished a revolver, but it was taken from him. Finally the procession moved off quietly.-[Herald...
