...opponents' kicking ability, had only one man back to receive the punts. This paved the way for Yale's touchdown. Tibbott fumbled Guernsey's twisting spiral and as there was no one near to help him, it was comparatively easy for Way to scoop up the ball and dash the remaining 25 yards to the goal line. Besides out-kicking his opponent, Guernsey contributed directly to the score by two drop-kicks. The first, from his own 46-yard line, was the most spectacular kick of the season. The second was easier but it had to travel 35 yards...

Seymour '17, and H. Wentworth '17, dash men; A. Dixon, 3d, '16, plunger; K. F. Jackson '17, and W. K. Munroe '17, divers.

Then they hurried across the field, and, grouping before the Harvard section, cheered for Harvard." While of course Cornell's display of the victor's courtesy was in order and is appreciated, the fallacy in the Tribune's remark...
...wild dash for the gridiron and the rollicking snake dance" are spoken of as if such exuberance were obviously unsportsmanlike, as if there were something mean in thus "rubbing it in." On the contrary, it is a legitimate effervescence of the joy of victory. The defeated not only expect it, but they feel disappointed if the subtle compliment be omitted. "Is the query. Doubtless more than one Harvard undergraduate,-- and at least one,--was obliged to apologise to his companion last Saturday when the expected serpentine failed to materialize...
...field events will be the five customary ones but the Freshmen will throw a twelve-pound hammer. On the track there will be no 220-yard dash or 220-yard hurdle race. The Freshmen will run a 120-yard low hurdle race instead of a high hurdle race. The other events will be the same as usual except that a three-mile run will be substituted for a two-mile run. This is designed to make the cross-country teams' practice a feature of the games. The order and times of events will be announced later...
