...whether the rackets were used in more ways than one, but we trust that they were not. Although reports from Vassal declare that the Wellesley tennis grounds are upon the side of a hill, this is not true. The grounds are very level and offer a good opportunity for close playing. Many of the players are well known to us as having vanquished some of our best players during the past summer, and this fact answers conclusively the remark that "girls can't play tennis." It has been rumored that the president participated in the playing. This also...
...CRIMSON'S correspondent at Wellesley has just forwarded the results of the tennis tournament which has been held there. There was a long list of entries, and the playing throughout was very close. The playing of the doubles was particularly interesting. But the playing of the singles, although at times rather loose and showing a tendency of some of the players to get rattled, gave a chance for some brilliant plays. There was awarded a first prize for singles, a first and second prize for doubles. The contest resulted as follows: Singles, first prize, Miss H. J. Wells, '87; doubles...
...backs doing some terrible muffing while '87's rush-line broke through in a marvellous manner, stopping all attempts at kicking. For a while the ball stuck about the twenty-five yard line, but sharp work and fine dropping on the ball by the juniors, forced the ball close under '86's goal.

From this point till time was called the ball stayed down in '87's half of the field. At this point the '86 rushers began...
...feel obliged to call the attention of those freshmen who take German to the noisy way in which many of them leave the recitation room. Freshman German sections in University are often dismissed five or ten minutes before the close of the hour, and these dismissals are attended by so much noise that students in the other recitation rooms are greatly disturbed. We have no doubt that the freshmen are merely thoughtless, and we hope that they will be more careful of the rights of others in the future...
...Palmer, '88. Score, '87, 10, '88, 8. The ball was punted out by Peabody; another rush and touch-down by Fletcher followed, from which Willard kicked a goal. The ball was placed in the middle of the field, and soon by terrific rushes by Porter and Woodman, was close to '87's goal. A long kick by Willard sent the ball into the middle of the field, and good rushing by '87 kept the ball near the '88 goal. Fletcher now made his third touch-down, from which Willard was about to kick a goal when time was called. Score...
