...this time the freshmen had found their proper boats, and were being instructed by the various upperclassmen about the intricacies of rowing. As each eight left the float much amusement was afforded to the crowd of spectators by the evolutions in which some of the men indulged. When a coxswain cried out, "Let her run!" it seemed to act as a signal for renewed efforts in rowing. And the port side was sadly mixed up with the starboard, so that some little difficulty was experienced in getting the eights into line. These little mistakes, however, were very natural...
...very early hour the city was astir to see the great historical procession, the crowning feature of the week of jubilee. The streets were roped off and were paraded by numberless police, who confined the crowds to the sidewalks and to the great stands (tribunes they called them) erected in Bismarck Place and along Leopold Strasse. The spectators on the sidewalks were Germans of the middle and lower classes; and the contemplation of their various traits would have furnished profitable amusement for an entire day. Most of them realized the exhaustive nature of the display and were already fortifying...

Sears invariably runs into a crowd, and when a man starts to tackle him, he slows up to ward him off instead of keeping right along. He fumbles badly still, and gets rattled in a crisis. Peabody is rather slow in returning a kick; but he generally manages to get it back. He tackles...
Substitutes. Boyden is slow and cool. A crowd does not rattle him in the least. He is a fast runner, and dodges well; but he does not tackle in first-class shape. Bancroft is slow in getting through, and very apt to overrun his man when going down the field. He watches his end well, but plays too little as a part of the team, not following the ball enough. He tackles hard, but painfully high...
