...rowing machine has been placed in the gymnasium at Cornell. There are no springs, weights or cylinders used in the construction of the machine. The principle is simply that of friction. An iron rod bent in the shape of an are of a circle is attached to the end of the lever, and fits into grooves in a couple of blocks at the end of the arm. When the oar is turned as when pulling against the water the rod is pressed against the sides of the blocks giving friction enough to make the stroke about as hard as when...
...However, we have to tear ourselves away at last from the great Tufts, and are soon descending the hill. As we return, if we keep our eves open, we will see what we were sure to miss before, the old white powder-house, built of brick, and having the shape of a large loaded cartridge, standing of course on its flat end. This is an interesting piece of antiquity. It was originally used by a miller, I believe; but when the revolution broke out, stores of powder were put there and were doubtless plundered by the British on their...

The building is a regular old "stager" in its way, a frame structure, nearer the shape of a cube than of anything else, painted a dirty yellow with white trimmings, and generally beautiful, one of the remnants of past ages (appropriate, some have called it), like so many other of the old standard houses that one finds in Cambridge.

...largely on the work of the halfbacks; and the kicking of both and Richard's rushing was very fine. Peters, Bayne, and Robinson, also distinguished themselves, while Coxe made his weight useful. Yale's passing and blocking were good, and the men got down on the ball in good shape. They had little tackling to do, so that one cannot judge of them in that respect. The perfection of team play was not quite up to the Princeton standard...
...than a week ago, but played a defensive game, never attempting to gain ground except by kicking. The fumbling by the backs except Willard, was bad, and Kimball made several flukes in kicking. The rushers blocked fairly but failed to get down on the ball in any kind of shape. Hurd, Finney, and Burgess, did the best work in the rush, each tackling low and hard. Peabody also tackled well. Willard caught and kicked superbly...
