...funny man of the N. Y. Times, thus agonizes over the recent Princeton-Wesleyan match: The contestants formed in lines on their respective sider of the grounds. Then a stout Princeton man stepped out and spent several minutes in finding a place to put the ball. Having selected a suitable spot he brought out an egg-shaped article covered with yellow leather and deposited it with tender care on the spot. Then a slim boyish looking fellow took half a dozen quick steps forward and let out at the ball with all the grace and force of the hereafter...
...worth while to strain every nerve to beat Yale, for such a victory would be a great triumph, not only for the class but also for the college. But Yale will not be beaten by a fair eleven ; it will take the best that the class of '87 can put in the field. The stories which have been emanating from Yale, according to the good old custom, since the beginning of the season about the weakness of their freshman eleven, can not be trusted at all, and their recent victories show the unreliability of all such tales.

...seems that Dartmouth was the first to start a college journal,-the "Gazetle" issued in 1800-to which Daniel Websterfrequently contributed. Yale next put forth a magazine under the title of the "Literary Cabinet," in 1806, the proceeds of which were to educate the poor students.

Three or four other literary ventures were made...
...very difficult kick, the ball being considerably off the side of the goal. Soon after the ball was brought our, Cowling made a long and fine kick which brought the ball down the field and compelled Stevens to make a safety touchdown. Shortly after the ball was put in play again, Peabody had a chance for a try-at-goal which however he missed. The ball gradually worked its way down to our end of the field but was soon brought back by a very fine run by Adams. By a very good pass on the part of Kimball, Austin...
...Wednesday night has been decided upon as the date. In coming back the railroad is preferable to the boat as you have to get up so early in coming from New York on the boat. As many persons will be coming back at different times, if they will put down in the book which I will place at Bartlett's on what train via the Boston and Albany they wish to come back, I can then perhaps arrange some rates with that railroad for the separate parties. It, however, requires a party of more than fifty to have separate tickets...
