...Saturday by the same score as that of the Harvard-Princeton game. And this was done under the same conditions of weather which surrounded us in our game with Pennsylvania. It will not do, therefore, for the eleven to be too confident of success. But on the other hand there seems to be no reason why we should not give Yale as hard a fight for the championship as she ever had before, even considering the crippled state of our team. But whatever way be the issue, we may all be sure that every man on the eleven will enter...

Harmar, Yale, '90, the runner, gave a good exhibition of his powers in that direction on Tuesday afternoon, when he chased a man who had stolen a foot-ball from the field. When the thief was overtaken, there were found in his possession a lady's hand-bag containing $10 and a revolver in addition to the foot-ball...

One must cautiously feel his way up any number of stairs, grope slowly along the corridor, learning where to turn by putting his hand on the friendly wall; and after he has rounded the corner and made the door of his room he must again resort to his sense of feeling in order to find the key-hole.

...CRIMSON has evidently got its knowledge of the New London course at second hand, since everybody who knows the course is aware that there is room for the North Atlantic Squadron on the last two miles. The difficulty about the unequal velocity of the tide could be avoided by moving the course eastward. The fact that Harvard's freshmen crew of '89 obtained a very lame victory, in fact no victory at all, over Yale's superior crew did not seem to weigh very heavily on the conscience of the Harvard men when they refused '90's challenge. 'Yet they...
