Last week the freshmen and sophomores had their first "rush" of the year, and rather to the surprise of the college, '90 was completely done up. It was quite a mild affair, and for the first time in years there was no fight around the cannon. The spirit of hazing has died out here to a very great extent, apparently, and whether due to the gentleness of '90 or the severity of the proctors there has been less this year than ever before. The good effects are plainly visible in the increased number of freshmen seen on the track...
...last Saturday afternoon, the Princeton-Wesleyan game was played at Princeton. Wesleyan, although out-weighed and out-played, made a plucky fight. Princeton won the toss and took the ball, which, being passed to Dodge, was carried near Wesleyan's goal. The ball was then passed to Cowan, who made the first touchdown for Princeton. Goal. Weslevan now carried the ball to the centre of the field, but Princeton soon got it, and a rush by Ames and fumbling by Wesleyan, forced the latter to make a safety.

If the affair was nothing but a practice pull, it would be a good thing, but it has ceased to be that. It has become a hard, stubborn fight and presupposing that the Yale race is no walk-over, no eight men can pull the four miles the second time in one week, with a fair prospect for success. The boat club would do well to take advice from '88 and so increase still more the chances of victory...
...ball and rushed the whole length of the field making first touchdown for Technology. Garrison kicked a goal. After the kick-off the ball was forced again into the Tech territory when Nichols was hurt in the leg. Clement took his place. Brainard now got into a fight with Ladd and was disqualified. Smith look his place. By some means Macaullay got the ball and had a clear field. He made the second touch down for Tech. Time was called before a goal was attempted. Score-10-4 in favor of Tech...
