...well, but fumbled frequently; Noble played a very plucky game but his passing was uncertain at times. In the rush line Hurd and Peters clearly bore off the palm; Hurd's tackling was remarkable. Bancroft played a very steady game; Churchill made a fine centre rush. The team was somewhat weakend by the loss of Woodman and Osgood. Following are the teams: Harvard, '88; rushers, Bancroft, Peters, Hurd, Churchill, Purdon, Homans, Balch; quarterback, Noble; halfbacks, Holden and Fargo; fullback, Porter. (captain...

This state of affairs was changed somewhat when the present plan of assignment was adopted, but the complaints which are constantly being received show too plainly that the desired end has not been reached. Some fruiting blows have recently been dealt to the tennis interest ; the severest being the reduction in the number of available courts caused...
