...harder, perhaps, than in any former year. The chances against them have been difficult to overcome, but no one will deny that they have struggled manfully, although unsuccessful, to overcome them. The more important the game, the better the team plays. We have only to think of the gallant fight made in the Princeton game, to assure us that every man on the team will play his very best in the struggle to-morrow against Yale. Now to show its appreciation of their efforts, the college should go down in a body to New Haven and encourage...
...aloud that his deeds may be set forth in undying print for the benefit of posterity and humanity in general and the edification of himself in particular. How the fence went down before the mighty onslaught of the '88 warriors, how the sophomore braves Lacked sand to begin the fight after the time-honored custom, how many of the latter were bareheaded on their return to the classic shades and finally how, in a fit of kindness, the thoughtful freshmen covered the head of our illustrious founder shivering on his cold seat in the night air with their one remaining...

Gilman, Phillips and Willard each made a touchdown but the attempts at goal were futile. The ball was then passed...
...active, energetic policeman could stop all this. It might be a hard fight at first, but in a few months the thing would be accomplished. We happen to know that at Princeton there is a man for this purpose, and that the mucker nuisance does not exist there. Such a man could also take charge of the police force at all games, and see that the crowds are kept out-which certainly has never been done yet. Successful thefts have been made through the windows of ground floor rooms, and it is a wonder there are not more; these would...
