Most girls have weak arms. If they doubt it, let them try with one hand to push up once high over their head a dumb-bell weighing a quarter or even a fifth of their own weight. Or with both hands catching hold of a bar or the rung of a ladder, as high up as they can reach, let them see if they can pull slowly up till the chin touches the hands.

During the seven years that the Rugby game has been played, says a Yale letter, Harvard has never put the ball over Yale's cross bar and Princeton has only touched the ball behind Yale's goal once and secured one goal from the field...

The redeeming feature of the next few minutes was the fine tackling of Adams which gained him the chief commendation to be bestowed on the team. Unfortunately for Harvard, he was interrupted in his good work by an injury, and was forced to leave the field, Houghton replacing him. Pennsylvania...
