Through sleet and snow very few men made their dreary way to Jarvis Field, yesterday afternoon, to see the University and Freshman elevens busily engaged in practice. The snow was about two inches deep and very slippery, while the sleet blew in the faces and hands of the men, making it very uncomfortable. The air, however, was bracing and favorable to the briskest kind of motions. Mr. Adams, and Mr. Waldo Fuller, '83, were coaching the two teams as up and down the field they made their slippery way. Running and dodging were difficult feats to perform. Tackling was easy...

When the services were held in Harvard Hall, the students fastened its doors, blew up the bell with powder, and even detained the monitors. However all such pranks gradually died...
...strong wind which blew steadily across Jarvis was all that marred the otherwise perfect weather on Saturday. The records, which were influenced more or less by the wind, were, however, fully up to the usual standard and give us excellent reasons for expecting Harvard to make a good showing at the Polo Grounds on Saturday next...
