...Advocate this week is made up of a half-dozen pieces of fiction and as many experiments in verse. The stories, with one exception, are of men and things out of doors--by-products, perhaps, of vacation; one is told by a stagedriver, one by a guide, and one is a trapper's tale of long ago. The first two are "bear stories," and do not belie their kind. Rude men, of uncouth speech spiced with damns and tobacco juice; tell of beasts of fabulous dimensions and behavior, without fear of the "malleus naturfakerorum." Like other patterns for stories, this...
Harvard defeated the Brown University football team last Saturday by the score of 6 to 2. During the first half the teams seemed fairly well matched, and neither was able to obtain any distinct advantage, but in the second half the University team had no trouble in gaining through the Brown line, and played a much superior game. The teams resorted mainly to the old style of line-plunging game, and had little or no success with the forward pass or onside kick. Punting was frequent on both sides, McKay, of Brown, with the wind behind him being able...
...over Brown's goal line for the touchdown, but made every first down. Brown's score came as the result of a punt which went over Cutler's head and was recovered on the goal line for a safety. Harvard nearly scored on two other occasions in the second half.

Brown was never...
MacKay kicked off for Harvard in the second half, and Brown returned the ball to Harvard on the 45-yard line. From there. White took the ball eight yards, and, after a delayed pass had failed, made first down again. Cutting went around end for five yards, and White had carried the bad to the 14-yard line when Harvard was held for downs. Corbett received Brown's punt on Harvard's 50-yard line, and Cutler punted back to Sprackling, who was downed by Dunlap on Brown's 37-yard line. After MacKay had broken up a play, Brown...
Yale easily defeated Massachusetts Agricultural College, 49-0, at New Haven last Saturday. The visiting team had only one chance to score, when, in the first half, they got the ball on Yale's 15-yard line. Yale played straight football during the entire game. The regular team was used in the first half, with the exception of the quarterback and ends, who are out of the game on account of injuries. Of the nine touchdowns, Coy made 4, Philbin 2, Daley 2, and Holt 1. The Yale team lined up as follows: l.e., Logan, Freeman; l.t., Hobbs, Lilley, Carter...
