...kick when forced, but when they met the heavy charging of Harvard, they stubbornly fought the ground inch by inch, and never used their best runners until they had driven the ball by a kick well down. In this way they had ever a strong fresh man for a dash up the goal, and an almost infallible kicker to send the ball skimming over...
...borne in mind that we did not win last year; and therefore must put forth all our energies to develop and perfect the material that we have. The loss of Rogers will be very severely felt, there being no one to take his place in the 100-yards dash. A good deal of attention will be given to developing men for the hammer and shot contests. Coxe has left Yale, so we no longer have him to fear, and have a chance at two first prizes, of which last year he was a sure winner. Finlay, Pennypacker and Dexter...

Though the day was cold and blustering, there was a large number of starters in the event, and quite a crowd of spectators braved the weather to lend success to the meeting. King, '88, captured the final heat in the hundred yard dash in the remarkably good time, considering the condition of the track and the wind directly in his face, of 10 1-5 seconds. The records, as a rule, were not very good, but quite a number of new men were brought out, and if the present interest in track athletics continues...
