...Good, the first speaker for Princeton, opened the debate. The principal contingency upon which this debate hinges, he said, is the case where the lives and property of citizens are in danger and federal aid is not sought although state aid is inadequate. The Chicago riot of 1894 is an illustration of such an emergency. A state of continued violence existed and the governor of Illinois would not apply for federal assistance. If Governor Altgeld in 1894 refused to call in federal aid when lives and property were being outraged to a degree quite beyond the control of the State...
...Geological Conference met last night in the Geological Museum, and Dr. T. A. Jaggar, who was in Martinique and St. Vincent after the recent eruption, read a paper on "The Preservation of Human Life in Volcanic Lands." He divided his subject into two considerations--how to preserve life when danger is imminent, and how to warn people of probable explosions. In most volcanic outbursts, persons are killed by a steam blast, falling hot material, a sea wave, or a wind high enough to overset masonry. Some theory of protection against these forces may be found by inquiring into the cases...
...practice being attempted, and on Thursday, and Friday the work was also of the lightest character.

Holt, Glass, Goss, Hogan, and Metcalf were all in danger of becoming over-trained. Kinney was kept out of the line-up throughout the week's practice by an injury to his knee...
...next kick-off that Putnam fumbled and let the ball roll back of the goal. He recovered it, however, and ran to the 4 yard line before he was brought down. Kernan soon carried the ball out of danger by a 26 yard run, and then punted well into Pennsylvania's part of the field. Near the end of the half substantial line plunges by Graydon and Knowlton landed the ball at Pennsylvania's 25 yard line where time was called...
...assistance went through right tackle for 18 yards, again for 7 yards, and from 3 yard line Graydon took the same opening for a touchdown. Barnard's goal made the score Harvard, 11; Carlisle, 0. During the rest of the half, Kernan twice failed to punt well out of danger and both times Carlisle was enabled to get inside of Harvard's 20 yard line. Timely fumbles prevented a score and no other chance was offered. Just before the end of the half long runs by Kernan and Marshall gave the latter an opportunity on the 30 yard line...
