...University eleven has again shown its propensity to avert defeat by an eleventh hour fighting finish. But this is too dangerous for the comfort of the team's supporters -- and against an opponent like Michigan, the rally may be too long postponed.

On the other hand, Murray won at Southampton; he stood as runner-up to the New York State championship and McLoughlin; he won the New England championship, and the metropolitan title in achieving which he defeated Alexander for the second time, and Washburn...
