...representative in the approaching foot-ball match. Many were anxious Wednesday night lest the weather on the following day should be unfavorable, but Thursday dawned bright and clear promising a perfect day for the great game. A few hours rest after the long and tiresome ride on Wednesday had put our men in good spirits again, and they retired in excellent condition. The college men began to arrive in large numbers as Thursday forenoon wore on, and as the hour of the game approached, the avenues leading to the Polo grounds became blocked by vehicles of every description bound...

But at the beginning of the term it was resolved to make an effort to put the bicycle club on its legs again, and under the new board of officers the effort has succeeded beyond expectation. The first run was to Lexington, where the club had an informal dinner and returned by moonlight. Twenty-three members took part in this ride which was a great success...
