...OTTAWA GAME.Harvard won the toss and took advantage of a slight wind blowing directly toward the field. During the first three-quarters our rush line played a very steady game, tackling well and seldom losing the ball. Kimball by a pretty run secured a touch down. Shortly after Gilman got another. Goals were kicked from both. Homans at this point of the game was injured, while making a play which forced Ottawa to touch down for safety, and Thayer took his place...
...black ulsters, and in the end drove from the car the resisting Freshmen. After forming on Charles street, we joined the main line on Marlborough street. We shouted ourselves hoarse for '87, for the ladies, and for the tattooed man of the white plume.

One clergyman, when he had got up in years, was wont to boast...
...second inning showed some improvement in the play of the Harvard eleven, and with the advantage of the light wind they kept the ball at Wesleyan's end of the grounds. Nothing was gained by either side, for when Harvard got the ball near the Wesleyan goal line Harvard could not force it through and lost the ball. Willard distinguished himself by remarkable fine catching throughout the game and by good low kicking. Peabody's tackling was of the best, he tackling two men in succession when they had passed all others. Kimball made some good kicks and several good...
