...last ten minutes of the first three-quarters, Princeton "braced up," and drove it up towards their goal. McCosh of Princeton made a very pretty kick that was much applauded, as was also Ballard's run; but Princeton showed want of practice in passing the ball. At the end of the first three-quarters the game stood: Harvard, one touch-down; Princeton, nothing...
...most noticeable and dangerous fault at present is the universal tendency to slight the end of the stroke. Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 particularly fail to bring their hands clear in to their bodies before dropping them. No. 6 is inclined to turn his oar before it is out of the water, and Bow to do the same.

Risit would have scanned as well, and suited the other tenses better. In line sixth, coronae cannot begin a hexameter, nor comam end one; moreover, cutting off a diphthong between the two short syllables of a dactyl is very unclassical. Of line seventh we can make nothing at all. The quantities run ____V ____V ____V ____VV ____, which no human power can get into a verse. But we strongly doubt if the translator knew...
