...pulled very pluckily. The senior team got the drop by one quarter of an inch, and soon pulled away an inch or so more. Balch caught Perry as he came down to heave and the ribbon was six inches on the '88 side. Perry, by skillful handling of the rope and by the plucky work of the team, succeeded in getting back all but an inch. The '88 team, however, pulled away three inches again, and when time was called the rope was four inches on their side of the line. The teams were as follows...
...sparring, the ring was too small and the crowded benches surrounding it were a source of annoyance and even great trouble to the boxers, who were continually tripping and falling over the feet of the spectators. It would be a good plan to encircle the ring with a rope, or perhaps a fence of empty benches placed with backs inward...
...room for regular batting and battery work, throwing to second, sliding bases, and in fact, the work there is nearly as good as out-of-door practice. The whole inside is encased in wire netting, so that the batting can be as hard as out of doors. A rope netting separates an alley for extra battery work.

...Phillips overcame his 2 in. handicap by a kick of 9 ft. 14 in. The tug-of-war between the Harvard and Tech freshmen was the next event. Tech had the weight.

Tech won the drop by about 5 in.; Harvard was very slow in getting down. Tallant made several attempts to regain the rope but they were ineffectual. Tech won by 8 in. The tug-of-war was followed by the running high...
...candidates, eleven in number, have been working with considerable perseverance every day, and from the present outlook the freshman team will not be the last in the contest. The names of the men who are trying are: Baker, Clarke, DeNormandie, Garceau, Lawrence, Mason, McClellen, Nichols and Peckham for rope; Higgins and Tallant for anchor. The eighty-eight team will probably represent the 'Varsity at Mott Haven...
