Holden ran it out from under our goal. Porter ran well, but Boyden failed to gain any ground. Butler made a short run. Bancroft was off-side and Princeton had the ball. Harvard got the ball again. It was kicked and Holden ran, as did Butler. Porter and Boyden then made rushes, while Harding guarded them finely. Cumnock tackled well, but the Princeton back got started...

The school has been held every year since 1875 inclusively, with the exception of the years 1882 and 1885. The advantages of such a summer school are great; the fact of its being held in summer is naturally an inducement on account of the superior advantages offered for out-door work, and the greater part of the studies are carried on in the Botanical Garden; as a consequence...
