...pilgrimage. Now those who were fortunate enough to behold these Three Important Persons saw a strange sight. First came the Chair Man (so called because he carried on his back a camp stool) wheeling and circling in graceful curves along the roadside upon a bicycle of wonderful make. Behind him came the second of this triumvirate, carefully measuring the above named circles, and reckoning the longitudinal distance between the size of one and the diameter of another. And this person rode upon a horse, and his body was like a tangent to the curve of the horse's back. Behind...
...pass across the field by Bayne, landed right in Robinson's arms. He was playing outside of Hurd and made a fine run until tackled by Peabody at the 5 yard line. From the "down," Bayne, with the ball, dashed through an opening in our rush line and scored behind the posts. Richards kicked the third goal...
...their broad principles the Eton and Association games have no very material difference. But whereas in the latter the game is begun by a free "kick-off," and the ball, when it passes out of play, except behind the goal lines, is thrown in at will by a player of the side opposing him who kicked it out, in the former the game begins by a "bully" formed opposite the point where it passed out of play. On either side are a "post" and two "sides," with others to back them up. These form down opposite each other, alternately under...
...proved himself the best base runner. Winslow has signified his intention of not playing this year ; we trust that he will change his mind, and again fill his old position in the box, where he did such good work last year. With Winslow and Nichols for pitchers, and Allen behind the bat, Harvard will be able to present a strong battery. We trust that the executive committee will decide to put the nine in strict training, and that the members of the nine will obey the rules. The uniforms will probably be changed. In place of the old gray blouse...
...been cast upon her. We had always thought the game as played in "the Field" at Eton was the purest form of football known, the most essentially foot ball of any. On no excuse whatever may the hands be employed, except to touch the ball, when it passes behind the goal lines, to save or get a "rouge." Even the rules of the Association game, which may be described as a sort of compromise between all rules, are more lenient ; for by them the goal-keeper may in defence of his post make use of his hands...
