...length ahead of Papoose. Down the backstretch the horses went in the same order, with Spotted Tail lapping Redskin, the others having lost some distance. Rounding the turn, Spotted Tail overhauled Redskin, headed him and opened distance, coming down the homestretch and finishing under the whip a clear length ahead. Meanwhile Papoose overtook Pale Face, and ran a good third to finish. Time was not taken...
...kick each time. Yale, finding that she could not with advantage keep up a kicking game, settled down to steady rushing, in which they excelled. Twice Twombly sent the ball rolling along the ground to Richards, who played far outside of Princeton's end rush, and had therefore a clear run to the opposing half-backs. Lamar also made some desperate attempts to gain ground for Princeton, but Yale's tackling soon brought him down. Time was called without further score, and with the ball near Princeton's goal. On the whole, this game ought to give us considerable encouragement...

We sincerely trust that the authorities will at least keep the pathway clear of obstacles and then we may possibly get used in course of time to an occasional avalanche from the upper regions of the laboratory...

Lately two undergraduates...
...calculations and hammered at it accordingly. The game, up to the fifth inning, was right in the hands of Princeton's catcher, who captured the men one after another as they struck out, but when Harvard began to bat, the prospects changed at once, and Princeton lost by three clear runs. Mann had only one curve, and he did not even vary it by straight balls, so it failed of success against the straight pitching and fine head-work of Ernst and Tyng. Avery, at Yale, came out with his curve the same year, and many of the college nines...
