...championship game for the season, and defeated Princeton by a score of nine to three. With this victory each college in the three-cornered league has one game to its credit, with this advantage for Harvard that, whereas both Yale and Princeton have each met one defeat, Harvard's record is, up to this time, clear. As the intercollegiate series now stands, Princeton is practically out of the race, having lost two games and gained but one. Thus our chief opponent is to be, as of old, Yale. We certainly have many reasons for self-congratulation at the result...
...eminently successful. Had it not been for the attendant circumstances of the day, the time made and distance covered in the various competitions would undoubtedly have been better, but even as it was the H. A. A. have good reason to congratulate themselves upon the breaking of two records. The running in the half-mile race was such as any college might point to with pride, and the record made in throwing the hammer, although not up to the best college record, gives every reason to hope that Harvard will be able to win that event at the Mott Haven...

Miles was second. This time beats the previous record 2m. 1-5s., made by Wendell Baker in 1885. A tug of war was introduced after this event. This is a new idea, to give the team which is to represent Harvard at the Mott Haven games better practice. The first tug was between E. A. Pease; '88; W. L. Munroe...
...were the starters. Davenport set the pace all the way, but was closely dogged by Downs until the home stretch, when he spurted and won. Downs also finished well. Time 4m. 43 4-5s. Pennypacker and Gibson now threw the hammer. In this event Gibson broke the Harvard record, held last by D. B. Chamberlain, '86, at 90 ft. 1 in. His best throw was 92 ft. 4 in. A second tug-of-war was here pulled between the 'Varsity and the following team: E: W. Grew, '89; F. O. Raymond. '89; J. Endicott, '89, and G. Perry...
