Princeton played with nine rushers, who worked well together, and were backed up splendidly by the half-tends and tends, whose long kicks were the envy and admiration of all Harvard supporters. For Harvard, Sedgwick, Bacon, and Houston did the best kicking, Wetherbee the best running, and Winsor and Cushing made some fine efforts, but were caught by the opposing rushers, who had an advantage in numbers, being nine to seven. Score: Princeton, one touch-down; Harvard, nothing...
...rushing, Bacon and Houston changing places. Ballard kicked off, but the ball was soon at Princeton's end of the field. Holmes and Cowdin were particularly active, and Harvard seemed determined to do something.

Holyoke and Matthews already have janitors whose duty it is to light the entries, and there...
...Seniors met in Boylston Hall last Monday evening to elect officers for Class Day. The meeting was called to order at half past seven by Mr. E. Robinson, chairman of the Committee appointed to arrange the preliminaries for the election. The report of the Committee and the rules drawn up by them for conducting the meeting were read and accepted. The selection of Mr. Thorp as chairman received the approbation of the class, and, after a few preliminary remarks, the business of the evening was introduced...
