...first event was a one-mile run, in which A. L. Lowell, '77, and C. James, '79, were the only starters. James took the lead, and kept in advance until the end of the second quarter, when he was passed by Lowell, who won the race in 5 min. 2 1/2 sec. Mr. Lowell then mounted the judges' stand, and, after receiving his prize, - a magnificent silver tankard, - leaped from the stand to the ground, and disappeared in the crowd amidst loud shouts of applause. The next event was a one-mile walk between Green, '76; Taylor, '77; and Legate...

...club is pre-eminently superior to the rest, and that the division of the buildings was made with judgment. It is a curious fact that of the two clubs which stand first on the list - Holworthy and Holyoke - the first has a smaller number of members and the second a larger number than any of the other clubs, - proving that success does not depend on numbers.

A touch-down was then obtained by Leeds, but as the ball was brought by Cushing between the goal-posts, the goal was not allowed. This ended the first half-hour. The second half being begun, Littauer led off, and the ball was at once driven toward the Canada goal. Here a lively scrimmage took place at the mud-puddles, and Leeds succeeded in obtaining another touch-down. Seamans kicked the ball over the goal, making a beautiful diagonal kick. After this the ball...

...second half-hour Tufts had the wind, but our men seemed to have warmed up to their work, Cushing very nearly making a touch-down and the ball still sticking close to the Tufts line. The heavy weight of the Tufts men seemed to make them less able to stand the tumbling, and their wind seemed to be giving out, for they were evidently playing for time, their repeated and unnecessary cries of "foul" becoming rather laughable. The second half-hour closed without a touch-down, but leaving our men full of confidence, though rather disgusted at the "foul" crying...
