...gymnasium in which to practice hand-ball. In truth, a cage seems to be the only suitable place for the majority of them. Now and then a man will toss a piece of cake in the air, and endeavor to catch it in his mouth when it falls, a trick worthy of an organ grinder's monkey, but entirely out of place in a dining room. Now let these freshmen who have not been with us long enough to know that Harvard is no nursery, turn over a new leaf and expend some of their pocket money for a book...
...well up the field again before he is stopped. Then everybody in the rush line, almost without exception, tackles too high, though there has been some improvement in this of late. The rush line drop on the ball better than they did, and have about got over their favorite trick of three weeks ago, of dropping with great force and style, only to find that the ball was no longer there, a practice which was amusing to the spectators; but rather demoralizing to anything like good work.

...plays a sharp, quick game with a good deal of snap. He is weak in blocking, and labors besides under the disadvantage of being very light. The other two rushers at Southboro were McKean and Newell, though since then McKean has been playing full back. Newell has a bad trick of bunting the man with the ball instead of tackling him. McKean in the rush line, did not work hard enough and seemed to lose his head, faults which he could easily remedy. As full back he seems to prefer to catch the ball on the bounce than...
...second inning Foster went to first on balls; Edgerly flied out; Winslow hit for two bases, sending Foster to third, where he was held by a neat trick of Blossom's; Beaman hit to short, and reached first on the attempt to put Foster out at the plate; Winslow scored on Cooper's error, and Tilden, after getting his first on an attempted put out, followed Beaman over the plate, assisted by an error of Taylor, and a second attempted putout; Nichols struck out, and Willard, after going to first on balls, was forced out at second by Allen...
