...when the two great rival colleges were to contend for the laurel of victory, a great crowd of spectators had gathered on the field. The grand stands were resplendent with beauty of face and of color. Foot-ball was now almost as popular with the fair sex as progressive euchre. The appearance of the contestants was awaited with great eagerness. At last they came, and were greeted by generous applause. But not a college cheer was heard; for such an undignified manifestation of approval in these days of gentle manners was considered an unpardonable breach of etiquette and decorum...
...wane at Harvard. The interest too which the class games excite is by no means small. All this gives promises of exciting contests next year, should the faculty again allow us to play our old antagonists. Foot-ball is a game which cannot die even in the face of numerous discouragements. To-day the second scheduled class game is to be played, and a large number of students will doubtless turn out and support their favorites.

And as a fitting accompaniment, we hear the low sigh of the maiden aunt at "those horrid Harvard punches." But when revolving time brings us face to face with questions of Harvard finance, the country is inundated with a mass of information concerning the Harvard pocket-book which is more stupendous than truthful. If we spend much, we are thought occasionally to replenish our pockets by innocent bets, and thus to obviate any temporary disadvantages arising...
...played for by the clubs of America, and Captain Belmont had been training his men for the express purpose of winning these cups if possible. The entries for the contest included the Meadow Brooks team, the Westchester team, and the Harvard players. The first game brought Harvard face to face with the Westchester team. The sides were made up as follows: Harvard - R. R. Belmont (captain), A. T. French, O. W. Bird, and E. L. Winthrop. Westchester - C. O. Irelin (captain), W. Ruthesford, N. G. Lorillard, and J. L. Kernochan. The referee was Mr. H. L. Herbert. Umpires, Mr. August...
