The maul in goal from which we made our safety, was intensely exciting. It was occasioned by an intercepted kich of Cowling's who finally got the ball to the ground. In spite of the close proximity to our poles, it seemed that Henry's kicking would prevent further score, but just seven minutes before the close Terry secured the ball after a very bailliant rush by Twombly, and sent it over the bar, scoring...

Kendall made the touchdown for Harvard. Neither side made a safety The eleven is shown to be the weakest in the tends. By failing to play their points well they disconcert and discourage...
...drink out of the nobler metal, "a little jug and pott for the fellows in ye halle and parlour" being bought for 17d. in 1644. The undergraduates drank and ate out of pewter, an arrangement which saved breakage, and had the additional advantage that when the mugs and platters got bent out of all shape, the pewterer took them back as old metal, and a new stock of "dishes, swages, and porringers" was laid in, the cost being 9 1-2d. a pound. The duty of looking after the pewter, and collecting and counting it after each meal, fell...
