...ticket at one of the two entrances. Convenient means must be provided also for flooding the whole surface evenly, and from different points. Other preparations also will doubtless have to be made. All this can easily be done if the Athletic Association is willing to push the matter through, and we would urge them to take active steps before next autumn to make the idea a reality. The college will duly appreciate any trouble to which they may put themselves, and every skater at Harvard will rejoice greatly at the execution of this scheme...

...ground, and Woodruff, who runs next, is thrown by Wagenhurst. Yale loses ten yards to keep the ball and Morrison carries it to Princeton's twenty-five yard line and Beecher to her ten yard line. The rest of the half is taken up in Yale's trying to push the ball over. Alter three downs, Beecher runs back with the ball ten yards and so keeps it. Just before time is called Yale loses the ball and Princeton has it at her twenty-five yard line. Score, nothing...
