In the first place, it was most ungentlemanly and undignified to print on the posters announcing the match that "Harvard say, we cannot play good enough ball to be admitted to the league.

At the end of the mile '90 was two boat lengths...
...great coat must be also of black-mixed with not more than two capes. The buttons of the above dress must be flat, covered with the same cloth as that of the garments, not more than eight nor less than six on the front of the coat and four behind. A surtout, or outside garment, is not to be substituted for the coat. But the undergraduates are permitted to wear black gowns, in which they may appear on all public occasions. Night-gowns, of cotton or linen or silk fabric, made in the usual form, or in that...
