...weather being warm for this season of the year, consequently a large crowd was in attendance at the Princeton-Harvard game on Jarvis, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The ball was kicked off by Princeton at 3.31 P. M. Harvard had won the toss and choose the west end of the field with the sun in their backs. The Princeton men passed the ball instead of kicking, and made a rush which was soon stopped and the ball lost by a bad pass. Harvard in turn gained considerable ground by rushing, and kicking, for when Moffat kicked Willard made...
...contest had been very close up to this time with the ball first on one end of the field and then changing to the other. It was, therefore, no surprise when Harvard forced the ball on Princeton ground after the kick off by Willard. Good kicking and the continued impetuosity of the rushers soon made it dangerous for Princeton to make any slips. It was just at this time that one of her men did so.

When Memorial Hall was built, I doubt if the idea of the dining-room's ever being too small was entertained. However, to-day we wish it larger...
...freshmen yesterday played their fifth game with a picked team from the schools of Hopkinson and Noble. The ball was started at 4.00 P. M., Boston having the lower end of Jarvis. Porter soon secured the ball and made a good rush down the field, Reynolds was the next to get it, and he secured a touchdown, from which Porter missed a goal. After sharp playing Porter made a touchdown, and again missed a goal. Bancroft in a few minutes made the third touchdown from which Porter again failed to score. Thomas was the next lucky man; he made...
