...that was excruciating, I admit; especially with a bones accompaniment. But that's over now, thank Heaven," and he sighs with relief. "Other noises," he continued, "are not so bad, nor so numerous. There's the Glee Club member, to whom it is quite a pleasure to listen, except when he has a friend who is learning to yodel; then there's the whistling freshman, always at the oldest air he can find, and always on the wrong key: the man who comes in at 2 A. M. from an expensive spree, and makes the halls echo to "Michael...
Harvard tackled better than a week ago, but played a defensive game, never attempting to gain ground except by kicking. The fumbling by the backs except Willard, was bad, and Kimball made several flukes in kicking. The rushers blocked fairly but failed to get down on the ball in any kind of shape.

Now we ask you, members of '85, is it right...
...their broad principles the Eton and Association games have no very material difference. But whereas in the latter the game is begun by a free "kick-off," and the ball, when it passes out of play, except behind the goal lines, is thrown in at will by a player of the side opposing him who kicked it out, in the former the game begins by a "bully" formed opposite the point where it passed out of play. On either side are a "post" and two "sides," with others to back them up. These form down opposite each other, alternately under...
