Ames spoke next and paid graceful compliments to the men who have earned Harvard her first great foot ball victory, for showing that gentlemen and gentlemanly play not only could win but had won.

The club extends an invitation to every one to come out and try for the team. This team has now become one of the regular college institutions, whose intercollegiate matches are watched with the greatest interest, and which has, as a rule, been fairly successful. The men who formerly represented the club best are no longer able to shoot, so that an excellent chance is offered for marks men to become members of a university team...
