...eleven, words of hope and encouragement are now heard. Men no longer say that Yale will win simply because she is Yale, but declare that she must show superior strength and science to do so. This, as a sign of the times, is most encouraging. Disgruntled criticism has done much evil here in the past. It has been caused by defeats to a great extent, but it has reacted upon the players and has made them peevish at times, and so we have lost. The success which has come to us so far this season can continue until Yale...
...pluckily went on playing. Harvard got the ball and Porter made the first touchdown just behind the goal. Saxe kicked a beautiful goal amidst the cheers and shouts of 7,000 spectators. Price was worn out and requested Harvard to let his brother take his place. This was done and Channing started to run, but Cumnock downed him with Alexander's help. From Ames' kick Saxe ran the ball well down the field. Boyden and Porter did some good running. The ball went to Princeton on a fumble. Piper stopped Chapin and Cumnock tackled Ames in the centre...

In spite of the fact that injuries had rendered many of the most promising candidates for the team unfit for playing, Captain Holden had gotten together an eleven of which the University might be proud. But now at the last moment we are crippled sorely by the loss of Sears and Cumnock, whose services can ill be spared...
Last week the freshmen and sophomores had their first "rush" of the year, and rather to the surprise of the college, '90 was completely done up. It was quite a mild affair, and for the first time in years there was no fight around the cannon. The spirit of hazing has died out here to a very great extent, apparently, and whether due to the gentleness of '90 or the severity of the proctors there has been less this year than ever before. The good effects are plainly visible in the increased number of freshmen seen on the track...
...lacrosse team went to Baltimore to play the Druids, and were defeated by four goals to two. The best playing for the Druids was done by old Princeton lacrosse men, and again Princeton was weakened by the absence of Church, Hodge and Cowan, who are playing on the foot-ball team. Lacrosse has received a tremendous impetus here this fall, and bids fair to rival foot-ball, and if the interest can only be kept up through the winter Princeton will put a very strong team in the field next spring...
