...second half showed a marked improvement. The fellows braced up, and played with more snap, and the work in the centre was quick and good. The result was a better looking score. Porter was playing in great shape, and time and again he carried the ball almost to the Technology line, knocking off the Technology rushers in great shape. Holden, too, was running well. Harding made two touchdowns, Porter two, Holden two, and Dudley one, from which Harding kicked five goals. Score, 58 to 0. Woodman and Adams did not play during the second half, and their places were taken...
...acquainted with the fact that Cola di Rienzo, the Roman tribune of the fourteenth century, is the real founder of the modern archaeological school, and that to him must be attributed the important share of praise and glory, as regards the renaissance of classical studies, which has been almost exclusively bestowed upon Dante Alighieri and Francesco Petraca. Archaeology is founded on an absolute critic inquiry, on the comparison of antique monuments and with written and engraved documents. Archaeology is a science which, differing from others, begins to repay at once the zeal of the student with deep moral satisfaction...
...through superior skill. Unluckily the skill did not seem to show itself at the right time, or even at any time.

There was no goal kicked from this touchdown, as the ball by some mistake was kicked toward the side of the field instead of towards the goal-posts. This mishap, however, turned out favorably...
...glad to see that our words of encouragement have had some effect at least in reviving the noble game of "scrub" foot-ball. The games are of almost daily occurrence at present, and furnish an ample fund of amusement for crowds of spectators as well as for the men engaged in the sport. The unwillingness of the expert players to come out and referee the games seems now to be the chief blemish on the complete happiness of the amateurs. This should not continue. Any man thus asked should consider it his duty to go out and aid his twenty...
...recent announcement that an attempt is being made to establish at Yale a St. Paul Club together with an Exeter Club, in addition to the Andover Club already existing, seems to betray an almost pitiable weakness upon the part of our new-made university. Is Yale upon so weak a basis that it is necessary to form proselyting communities whereby to recruit her numbers? Can she not rely sufficiently upon the advantages which a course of study at New Haven presents above a course of study pursued elsewhere to induce the young men of the country to adopt her antiquated...
