...game was called soon after four o'clock. The Unions presented but nine men but took on Abbott, and played with ten men, our team also played with ten men as follows: Easton, '83, goal; Rueter, '84, point; Marquand, '85, cover-point; Bradford, '86, and Goodale, '85, defence; Williams, '85, centre; Baldwin, '85 and Noyes, '85, attacks; and Hood, '86 and Woods, '85, homes.

Besides the time prizes the ordinary prizes will...
...proud title of "University city" is one that can possibly be stretched to cover the entire territory included under the name of Cambridge, together with its numerous prefixes and suffixes. By the Boston Transcript, at least, the above title is extended to include the classic precincts of Cambridge port, where recently a rather curious proceeding has been taking place. A performance of "Young Mrs. Winthrop" by a Madison Square Campany has been advertised to take place at Union Hall in that town, a building hitherto restricted to the accommodation of the most strictly virtuous of Star lecture courses and Swiss...
