...anticipation of a close a d exciting contest between '87 and '88, nearly 800 spectators gathered on Jarvis yesterday afternoon. Had it not been for the strong west wind which blew across the field, no better condition of weather could have been wished. Before the game the sophomores were generally expected to win, and were strongly backed by their friends. The styles of play of the two teams were in sharp contrast. '88 relied almost entirely upon her half-backs to play a rushing game, while eighty-seven trusted to the long kicks of her half-backs and the rushing...
...process. After Woodbury had recovered, the ball was sent to Perry, and from him towards '89's goal. Porter made a rush which was well tackled, and a moment later Noble scored a touch-down. The ball was punted out to Porter and by him rushed in across the line and again touched down. Try at goal failed. Churchill got the ball across the line when the referee decided there was a foul, and '89 took a free kick. Palmer made a good rush and was well stopped. Porter carried the ball outside, a freshman quickly got possession...
...then into Somerville, up over Winter Hill and through the back yards of "Goatville." Passing out from that delightful quarter the hounds were speeded on their way by the youthful portion of the population. College Hill and Tufts College were passed at a round pace, and then all came across to upper North Avenue. The break was made about three-fourths of a mile from home at a point near Linnaen street. The first hound in, Bailey, '88, was fifteen minutes behind the hares, who thus won easily. Bailey, Dana and Dudley receive prizes. Lothrop, '87, was second, and Wheeler...

Some interest has indeed been manifested in the sport, but the disappearance of the old familiar rush of foot-ball men across Jarvis seems to have paralyzed all other games. The lacrosse men have not given their attention to the necessary training to fit them for their work, and the effect is easily to be observed. The weather is perfectly adopted to the sport and men enough who are interested...
...most successful. At 4.20 the two hares, E. C. Webster and Vogel of '87 started from them front of Matthews. Seven minutes later the hounds, twenty in number and led by J. S. Russell, '87, master of the hunt, started after them. The course lay through Norton's Woods, across North Avenue, through the brick yards, up the Fitchburg railroad to the water works at Fresh Pond, thence to Brattle Street, opposite Elmwood. There a break was made for home at a very hot pace, Bailey, '88 led till close to the finish when he was passed by Dana...
