...grandeur of the Harvard group of buildings died away in our freshman year. Still as we take our "casual glance," it might be well to remember that Wadsworth was once Washington's headquarters [hoc verumest], and that while he was there the shells from the British forts fell so dangerously near, that a removal of the General's quarters, further out to the old Longfellow house on Brattle street was made necessary; also that Massachusetts, as well as the old church opposite, was used in revolutionary times for quartering American troops.

...over the line in a poor attempt for a goal. When brought out and kicked by Willard, Terry secured it and made a run, then passed it to Richards, who lost it. Peters made the next rush, and he was tackled by Peabody, but too late, for both fell over the line and Peters had a touchdown. No goal was kicked. Score, 28-0.

The finals in the singles between Brinley and Enapp were very exciting. The first set stood seven to seven when time was called on account of darkness. In the doubles the Harvard team beat...
