...only nine years ago that Yale and Harvard found it necessary to withdraw from the Intercollegiate Rowing Association, which was composed of thirteen colleges and held annual regattas at Saratoga. The association grew unwieldy; the smaller colleges refused to consent to either eight oared or six oared crews with coxswains, on the ground of expense. Nevertheless, the year before, in the six oared regatta without coxswains, Harvard and Yale had fouled each other, and, in consequence, both were beaten. On this account Yale withdrew from the association, but also for another reason. In '59, in '64, '71 and '75, Yale...
...enjoyable of all customs, the Harvard dinner. It is with surprise that the senior looks upon the picture in whose frame are carefully stuck the menus of the many dinners at which he has been present during his four year's course: he can hardly conceive how the collection grew, from the single souvenir of some dinner of his training school alumni, to the imposing array of class, society, and other "spread cards" which now confronts him. But with each card goes some story of jollity: it was at that dinner that Jack sung his new song: this card commemorates...
...quarter-backs were so good and the blocking so steady, that the side which had the "down" usually lost many yards before another halt was made. "Line up, Charley," "No throating," "holler down," "get off there," were among the frequent exclamations as the game went on, and the players grew more and more excited.

One of the 200-pounders took out the ball and lying on his stomach held...
...touched the ball down behind the Boston boys' goal, and Woodman again scored. Not long after, the ball came into Porters' hands, and by a good run he neatly passed all the Boston team and scored a touchdown, and Woodman added another goal to his credit. The playing then grew wretched and for a time the ball was dangerously near Harvard's goal, but by good rushing was finally sent back, and Bancroft got the sixth touchdown just before the end of the last half. No goal was made from it, and the score stood 35 to 0 in Harvards...
...ball was faced for the second time with the wind in Harvard's favor. The ball went back and forth until it grew dusk without either side making anything. A few minutes before time was called Cambridge scored the third goal, immediately after a fourth one. Harvard men claimed that they could not see the ball by this time, but when the first two goals were made there was no excuse for our defense. The work all round by our team showed that the men were out of trim, this not being the season for the game, and the work...
