...year. The foreground of the medals will be a representation of a base wrought in Roman gold and behind the base two bats will rest crossing each other. The bats will be long enough to protrude beyond the base, and between the upper ends will be a miniature base-bail made of platinum. The bats will be constructed of polished gold, and upon the front of the base the words, "Yale, Champions 1888," will be inscribed. The other side will contain the owner's name with his position on the nine...
...member of the faculty to be their sponsor, to have examinations without a proctor. This scheme, to my great surprise, found no one but its author to defend it.

The misdemeanors for which the guests had been fined were stealing signs, building bonfires and singing hilarious songs, - Globe...
...clock the game began, with the wind in favor of '88 and the ball with '87. For some few minutes after the kick off the playing was very loose on both sides; the bail was muffed badly, and the kicking was wretched. The sophomores soon settled down to work, and repeated rushes by Holden and Porter forced the ball to '87's tenyard line. Play was now fierce on both sides.
