...usual large crowd greeted the Boston Symphony Orchestra last evening at Sanders Theatre in the second of the series of concerts, to be given here. The only word that can be said in disparagement of the programme was its extreme length. This is a characteristic fault with the Music Hall programmes and so we must expect the same in Cambridge. From a technical standpoint the concert was, as usual, delightful. The coloring, rhythm, and polish displayed by the orchestra were faultless. The first number on the programme was Schubert's overture in E minor, a new work to Cambridge people...
...game, Wurtemburg was disqualified for slugging Channing. Harvey took his place. Yale slowly forced the the ball up the field, but Princeton again getting it, Ames sent it back by a long punt to Yale's twenty-yard line. Bull returned the kick and the ball went in the crowd on the side of the field. Yale again got the ball and a rush by Graves and a punt by Bull sent the ball close to Princeton's line, where Ames, attempting to rush, was downed by Stagg.

The hares in today's run will be C. A. Davenport, '90, and W. P. Downs...
...today, should the weather be fair. All the events are sure to be well contested, and one or two records may be broken. But in order to insure the success of the athletic meeting, one regulation must be enforced, and that is to see that the spectators do not crowd on the track, in their eagerness to get the best view of the races, and prove an annoyance to the contestants. In years past, complaint has always been made on this score, and it is now certainly time to establish a new order of things whereby the spectators...
