Both teams were crippled because several of the best players were prevented by injuries from taking part in the game.

The tackles were not tried enough by Amherst to show whether they had made the desired improvement...

The rooms, all of which are lighted by electricity, give the impression of being too fine, perhaps, for the use that is made of them. They have hard wood floors, are finished in a way that satisfied the desires of a very rich man, and are certainly very attractive...
