...very well, but there was much inexperience and ignorance of the rules of the game apparent. The ball was quite slippery and hard to handle, which may explain the muffing of some of the tends, yet the Yales rarely failed to be sure of the ball. Austin, by his brilliant rushing easily excelled for both sides, and the University eleven would have done well by giving him a place on their team. Adams did excellent rushing and tackling, and was ably seconded by Ayres. Yale played a very steady game, and worked well together. They got onto the ball very...
...does not hear so much about young men working through a course at college in this age of rapidly made fortunes. Neither does the student who considers a suite of luxuriously furnished rooms a necessity astonish the world by a brilliant record. What is the effect on the really and truly poor young man? It is no romance, but a stern reality, that requires a vast deal of moral courage and self-respect to enable him to hold on to his poverty and go through.

From the kick off Princeton gradually worked the ball through their opponent's line, and after a brilliant run Peace carried it over the line. Yale, however, disputed the touchdown on the ground that Peace lost...
...scientific game of foot-ball. Wesselhoeft sprained his ankle in one of the roughest scrimmages, and Adams, '86, took his place. Yale soon scored a touchdown through Beck, from a fumble by one of our rush; but Richards again failed in the goal. Harvard then rallied, and brilliant rushing by Morison and Appleton carried the ball into the middle of the field, when time was called...
