Varick vs. Bradley. First round: Varick opened the round with quick hitting, but was easily kept off by the able defence and long reach of Bradley who planted hard neck and blows right and left on Varick's face. At times the men closed but were quickly parted by the referee. Varick took Bradley's blows hardly and boxed with much effort, Bradly remaining for the greater part on the defensive...
...friendly attempt at accommodation. Consequently her reply to Harvard partook of the nature of a childish protest. The great brains of Pennsylvania's boating men were quite unable to divine what possible reason there could be for Harvard's not putting her best crew on the Charles river to face her, especially as the expense would amount to nothing and the men would be already in training.

The men were very evenly matched, but seemed to lack sufficient strength to throw squarely after obtaining a hold. Several minutes were consumed in manoeuvering and falls on the face.

Finally they locked, and Hughes, with a quick jerk, threw Coolidge...
MIDDLE-WEIGHT WRESTLING.R. J. Oglesby, '87, and Outram Bangs, '84, special. The two men began with some very lively passes and one or two face falls. The event gave promise of being very hotly contested, but after a few minutes of this work Mr. Oglesby decided to withdraw, being afraid of using up his strength before the tug-of-war. He thus sacrificed his own chances of winning to strengthen the chances of the class team...
