...Peace carried it over the line. Yale, however, disputed the touchdown on the ground that Peace lost his hold of the ball before touching it down, and the referee allowed their claim. Soon after Poe made the prettiest run of the game for Princeton, and carried the ball almost to Yale's line, but could score no point...
...physicist, is president. Mr. Samuel H. Scudder, the president of the Boston Society of Natural History, and well known as a specialist in entomology, has resigned his position as assistant librarian of Harvard University to take editorial charge of the paper.

Now, unfortunately, all college men are not distinguished for wisdom, and some are, perhaps, fools, hence it is not surprising that mistakes do sometimes occur, as they have already occurred. We do not wish to assert that men who cannot sing are chosen members of the Glee...
