...terrific ever played between scrub elevens. The superior weight of the Bacterias proved no match for the great celerity and close team play of the CRIMSON, for the former team played an up-hill game throughout until the last three seconds when the score was tied amid the wildest enthusiasm of the Bacteriani. At the close of the first half the score stood 8 to 0. in favor of the CRIMSON. The half was marked by long rushes by the CRIMSON and close blocking by the Bacteria rush-line. A few sparring contests lent spectacular interest to the game...
...table No. 3, and with difficulty overthrew them. Brilliant play, rapid running, rough tackling and generous gore distinguished the game throughout. Yale's tactics were closely followed, and the disabled strewed the field. Both teams were from '87. Time was called at half past eleven. In the first wild enthusiasm, G. W.

It is urged that if any undergraduate was led by the enthusiasm of the moment to carry off the flags, he will certainly now show himself gentleman enough to return them when a clear statement of the circumstances is made. No questions will be asked upon their return, nor will any attempt be made to investigate the matter. It is certainly only what...
...mistaken. We will do nothing of the sort. The playing of the freshmen during the last week has been such as to breathe new courage into any one who might have believed that they were past redemption. In fact the whole eleven seem to have imbibed the fervor and enthusiasm of the recent festivities, and to have settled down to work with all the determination of a typical Yale eleven. In truth, we have heard the last of the accusation, "lack of sand," which has been so thoughtlessly hurled at the members of the ninety foot-ball team. There...
