After a ten minutes' rest the second half of the game began, the Canadians having the kick-off this time. This half of the game was characterized by some magnificent playing on the part of the Canadians. The beautiful runs of Perram and Taylor, and the kicks of Wilmot and Scriver, were duly appreciated by the spectators. Nor were the Harvards lax in their endeavors to increase their score, though their play as a whole was not so brilliant as in the first half of the game. Herrick made a fine diagonal run, gaining half the length of the field...
...play at half past ten, Monday morning. Before the game began a hundred-yards dash was run by Herrick, of Harvard, and Summerhase, the champion runner of Canada, best two in three, - Herrick to have two yards' start. Herrick won the first heat in ten and one fourth seconds, coming in ahead fully the distance allowed.

McGibbon, Campbell, Taylor...
...books at all. It is a good plan, by the way, to keep one or two volumes on various subjects lying carelessly on your table. As for the choice of books I need not say much. You are not fool enough to throw away your money on second-rate second-hand editions of ancient classics, nor yet to overload yourself with modern English novels. French novels are all right, and a few of them will help your reputation as a linguist. The only rule that I shall bore you with is never to read - far less buy - any book that...
...following stirring accounts of warlike deeds is taken from the Trinity Tablet: "The word was given, and '79 and '80 met with terrible force. For a moment the well-known pluck of '79 withstood the shock, but in a second the overwhelming numbers of '80 [35 in the class] overcame the resistance, and decided the fate of the contest. '79 was pushed, but it was not to their shame. For hey showed great pluck in attempting to 'rush' a class just twice their own in size...
