Then the Penn.'s full back, getting the ball, leisurely rushed up the field past all our rushers, who failed to tackle him, until tipped over by a firm hold of Kimball. Time was soon called with the ball in the middle of the field. It was intended to play 35 minutes, but by mistake only 30 minutes had elapsed when the referee gave the word...

Nothing is so humiliating to a man as to be called upon...
...congratulate the baseball association on their present firm financial standing. Never before has it been able to start a new year with such a large account to its credit. Heavy expenses were incurred to put Holmes Field in condition for matches, but the new diamond seems to have had superior attractions for drawing a crowd, and in consequence the half dollars have rolled by thousands into the treasury. The financial ability to do what is necessary for the nine removes a great load from the management and ought to enable them to arrange practice games with the very best clubs...
