...play of Tuesday, and if they continue to play in such good form they may win the championship after all. Their throwing is still weak, and most men do not body-check well; but there was a noticeable improvement in this point. Every man played with a snap and vigor which is in striking contrast to the usual listless work of the team. Amory, Walcott and Everett did especially good work on the defence. Davis played home instead of defence as usual, and made the only goal of the game...
...Willard, who sang the "Russian Song" with much delicacy. The "Bill of Fare" quartette "took" as usual. The Pierian is certainly ambitious in attempting the andante and minuet from Mozart's E. 6 symphony, but they were not far behind in success; the Minuet was given with a vigor seldom heard in the organization.

The performance began with work on the horizontal bar: C. A. Goeble, '88; G. L. Barney, '90; F. B. Myers, '90; and J. B. Henderson, '91, gave a very good exhibition. Henderson carried...
...very well, and showed himself to be an exceedingly clever and plucky sparrer. The bout was one of the prettiest in feather-weight sparring that has been seen in the gymnasium in a long time. This entire gentlemanliness and good-nature of the contestants, together with the grit and vigor with which they fought, showed that sparring is not necessarily what some recent exhibitions might lead observers to suppose. The contestants were warmly applauded after each round...
