...between Tech. '89, and Harvard, '88, was a dismal surprise to the Harvard men present. Tech. got the drop by two inches, and gained another inch on one of Ewald's first attempts to heave, '88 did not regain any of this lost ground notwithstanding her phenomenal rope team, and Tech. had 3 inches at the end of the five minutes.

...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 not be moved.
