...first change was made in regard to touch-downs. Rule 4 now reads, "when the ball is carried across the goal line, it shall be a touch-down at the place where it was carried across. In opponent's goal, this entitles to a try at goal; in player's own goal to a kick out." By the old rules the ball had to be actually touched down by a player before he could claim the ball as his. This always occasioned the roughest of play. Sometimes a player would seize the ball and then lay on his back, holding...
This is a gift that Harvard may well appreciate, and the significance of its having come from across the Atlantic should by no means be overlooked. All like gifts, aiming at special and advanced study, are always valuable to a University. If but few in number, they tend perhaps to be an aggravation; but if many, they cannot fail to create an incentive for higher study and indirectly to raise the entire intellectual tone of the college or university possessing them...
...Harvard three more runs. When Williams came to the bat in this inning, Warren knocked a long fly to right field, in towards centre, which looked good for two bases; Foster ran hard, got under the ball, but just at this instant the strong southwest wind which was blowing across the field, veered the ball in towards the right, and Foster, quickly turning with his left hand caught it.

Harvard played its fifth game of cricket yesterday afternoon on Jarvis Field. Much difficulty was found in getting a suitable wicket, the grass being very scant. Finally a wicket was chosen right across the battery's position on the base-ball field. Though true, the wicket was "fast," hence the high score of the Harvard team. The best batting was done by Parker, Evans and McKean for Harvard, and by Sullivan for I. Zingari. In bowling, the honors were carried off by Mr. C. W. Smith, '88, who secured 7 wickets for 19 runs. As Harvard led by more than...
...would not bowl. The game began shortly after 11 A.M. with Longwood at the bat, and was continued until 4.30 P.M. with an intermission for lunch. The ground was soft and soggy on account of the heavy rain the day before, and there was a strong wind blowing across the wicket, so that the conditions were by no means good for fine batting and large scores. In consequence, the score on both sides was low. At one time it looked very much as if Harvard would win, Evans, and Clark being at the bat, both hitting very well...
