...distinction with his still famous melodrama "The Silver King." After 1884 he was able to turn his efforts to writing other forms of drama, and brought out "Saints and Sinners." It was not until late in the eighties, however, that Mr. Jones gained a permanent hold on the better class of the public by means of his "Juda" and "The Crusaders." In the last fifteen or sixteen years Mr. Jones and Mr. Pinero have shared the position of teachers in the Renaissance of English drama.

In the second division, Holworthy bumped Thayer three minutes after the start, and in the third division, College House overlapped Foxcroft-Divinity just before rounding the Stillman. Infirmary bend.

The Randolph and Westmorly crews have been doing promising work and should make a good showing...
...substitutes for further work on the forward pass and other open plays. In this work there was no attempt at a regular scrimmage. The team seems to have acquired a fair amount of confidence in the use of the open plays, and in consequence they work out to better advantage, as was seen in the Springfield game last Saturday. Toward the end of this work Coach Reid and Burr tried several goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage with rather poor success, the ball being blocked nearly every time. The whole squad ran a lap around the field...
