There was no rest for me after this. Gentlemen in squeaky boots patrolled the room; other gentlemen came in with parties of ladies, and all talked in hoarse whispers which echoed through the hall; men with arms full of books crossed and recrossed the room with heavy tread; proctors, accompanied by sisters and cousins, helped to make things hideous; the nymphs of the Library flitted about the alcoves overhead, and cast furtive glances down upon the busy bookworms.

From this time on, Columbia played much better. Several good rushes were made on their side, and that of Train promised to amount to something; but he came to grief. Our men brought the ball steadily up the field, passing it to one another, and a touch-down was obtained, and from this a goal. The ball was now kept near the centre of the field, and the first three-quarters closed with three goals and seven touch-downs for us; for Columbia, nothing...
