...scrimmage behind her goal Codman secured the ball and make a touchdown, from which Austin kicked a goal. In the second three quarters the play of both sides was much looser as the score will show. Wesleyan's halfbacks repeatedly saved her from worse defeat, for their kicking was almost perfect. Harvard kicked off and made Wesleyan touch back for safety forthwith. She retaliated immediately and driving. Harvard back she forced our men to make three safety touchdowns, gained entirely by the long kicks of the half-backs. In one of the subsequent downs the Wesleyan centre rush made...
Last Saturday a little after 11 o'clock Yale began to play the New York University team, and at noon the game stopped in favor of Yale with a score of 2 goals to 0.

The success of our own institution has aroused the desire in other colleges to establish a similar society. At Yale, Princeton and Ann Arbor the matter has been more...
...articles have recently appeared in our columns advocating the formation of a Rifle Club at Harvard, and we wish to say a few words in favor of the plan. The articles in question express, we think, the almost unanimous sentitiment of the university, and there seems to be every reason why we should encourage the growth of a sport that is at once so manly and so healthful, especially since being self-supporting, no pecuniary reasons can be urged against it. It would unquestionably be most advisable to have this club embrace all that portion of the students...
