...freshmen. The Boston Latin School eleven displayed good team work, and their backs especially, showed up well. The freshmen played a good game most of the time. The rushers broke through quickly, but were slow in tackling; the backs ran remarkably well and gained ground at nearly every rush. The game began at three o'clock, with the ball in possession of Harvard. The rushers formed a wedge and immediately forced the ball up to the Latin School's ten yard line. On the third down, Brooks ran across and scored the first touchdown. No goal. Five minutes later...
...committee to set the date for the dinner now, so that the rest of the class can regulate their engagements accordingly? Besides, if a blue-book were placed at Leavitt's or Bartlett's immediately, the committee would know how many to provide for and would not have to rush about at the last minute to find out who intends to be present and who does not. Every man in the class should be at this dinner, almost the last gathering of the class of Eighty-nine before graduation. We hope this suggestion may meet with the approval...

...Both tacklers, Gill and Rhodes, have been laid up for three weeks but are now playing again though the latter is still lame. Woodruff, contrary to all expectations, has resumed his old place as right guard. The other guard is Heffelfinger, a powerful freshman. Carbin at center completes the rush line. Wurtemburg, as quarter-back is playing almost as well as the famous Beecher. The half-backs will be Graves and McClung, both are playing remarkably well. Bull still fills his old place of full-back and will doubtless take all chances to kick goals from the field. The substantiates...
Until lately, the work of the eleven has not been such as to encourage the college; but during the last few days a perceptible improvement has been shown, both in the work of the rush line and that of the backs; and, as a consequence, well-grounded hopes of victory are entertained by the college. The score made against Wesleyan was not one to encourage the undergraduates. But it must be remembered that no incentive was offered for extra exertion, while slow cautious play was indulged in lest the game should result in the disability of some member...
