...more run in the seventh. Nunn, Howe, and Winsor made base-hits in the eighth, and, aided by errors of Hopkins and Camp, three runs were scored, two of which were earned. The sympathizers of the blue felt a little shaky about this time, and it was with great satisfaction that they beheld Harvard retired in striking order in the ninth. The last part of the inning was played rather loosely by our Nine, Yale making no less than five base-hits, earning two runs, and scoring four...
...referring to this time-honored college custom I said that a great responsibility rested upon popular men, inasmuch as many of their admirers would imitate their actions; and, to use a strong illustration, I said that if Swellington got drunk, Gosling, even though he did not like the taste of liquor, would follow his friend's example. This is the statement that "D" challenges.

The only drawbacks seem to have been the incompetency of the gentleman who was substituted for Mr. White to judge of walking; and the great variety of jumping contests, which, together with the pole vaulting, were decidedly tedious. The success that Harvard's representatives won should urge our athletic men to fresh exertions, and the apparent walk-overs in the mile-run and in several other contests should instil in them the idea of training...
...weeks have been on the river daily. The sight of five eight-oared crews in line is of itself worth going several miles to see; but when the race between them is as close as that of to-morrow seems likely to be, the interest ought to be very great. Of the five crews the Freshman is the only one that can be said to stand no chance for first place. The Law School crew is considered by many to stand the best chance, although the Juniors have great confidence in their men. Altogether, the race is pretty sure...
