When the Harvard nine played its first championship game with Amherst, winning it by a score of 13 to 2, its many friends, though anticipating an honorable record, little thought that rival after rival would fall so regularly before the skill of its members. Victory followed victory, however, until at last the pennant has been brought to Cambridge, and will float over Holmes Field for the coming year, a needless reminder to every Harvard man of the glories by which it was won. The nine played its second game in Providence, winning it by a score...

Riggs; homes, Frick. and Ober. Harvard was represented by; goal...
FINAL TUG-OF-WAR.Last on the programme came the final pull of the tug-of-war between Harvard and Lafayette. It was an exciting time, Yale had won the four first prizes, and Harvard only three. To win the cup, the tug-of-war must be taken by Harvard. The rival colleges howled for Lafayette, and our delegation cheered for Harvard. At the drop our team was successful, and soon they had six inches to their credit. Then our men sat still and let the Lafayette men try to take the rope back. Easton, however, sat it out calmly, and could...
