...would be folly, for you could never get a foothold in that way. You stretch across one foot to it while the other is still engaged in "rastling" with the first log. Now how to get the second foot over? You are fearful of slipping. Yet the new support seems to maintain its composure and sobriety. You can surely count upon it. Vain hope! These two are but confederates in crime. For suddenly this, too, begins to rotate. You struggle for a moment to keep both feet moving in opposite directions, become demoralized, lose your head and your foothold...
...gratifying" that his "labor of love is now to yield him substantial benefit, and that his histrionic abilities are coming to receive their just recognition." No one more sincerely wishes success to Mr. Riddle than does the Crimson; but in consenting to play oedipus with an English support before mixed audiences, we think he has made a grave mistake. After the accurate presentation last year, this plan is little more than a travesty, not at all to be desired by those of us who are proud of that first success. We think that Mr. Riddle will sometime acknowledge the force...
...Nine was well supported last Saturday: let this support continue, and we shall not feel ashamed of our record. We are sure that those who accompanied the Nine do not regret having done so. The cause of our defeat was very evident. Do not accuse us of attributing it to "hard luck."

Considering what a strong pitcher Mr. Hutchinson is, our Nine did very good work at the bat. We have no cause to feel discouraged...
...rose with the exigency, buttoned my coat over the gaping rents, felt of my abused proboscis, and was pleased to find that useful member, though perceptibly worn, still firm in its place. With the support of the railing I remounted, and slowly and painfully began the circuit of the hall. Round and round I went, oft diving into the railing, every few minutes affectionately embracing a post or two, dismounting at the most unexpected moments, and in the most unprecedented manner, and alighting on every conceivable part of my body, except on my feet; occasionally hurled with prodigious velocity into...
...account of the success of the Nine up to the time of last Saturday's game, the crowd that was assembled on Jarvis, to witness the match with Yale, far exceeded any attendance ever known. The Nine cannot complain of lack of support on that occasion. We hope that this same interest will be taken in all future games, and especially the next game with Yale. Notwithstanding the poor playing exhibited by Yale last Saturday, there is no doubt that her nine is a strong one. The next game with Yale is to be at New Haven on the 28th...
