...proposition of "Bob" Cook that Yale, who is now at the top of the heap in boating matters, should go over to England this coming summer and row the winner in the Oxford-Cambridge race, might, if it was followed up earnestly, result advantageously to college boating in England and the United States. Any half-way attempt as, in case of our defeat, the sending of Yale across the Atlantic to row for this one season without any prospect of a renewal of the contest in after years, whould probably be profitless. But if an agreement between Yale and Harvard...
...tries to get the ball nearer our line and the fourth time Watkinson tries for a goal from the field, but fails. Beecher gets the ball from Holden's kick, and Holden's ankle is hurt; Sears takes his place. Watkinson fumbles the ball and goes down in a heap. He kicks to our five-yard line.

And as the stream, choked by what it has collected, is stemmed and blocked, until...
...them. At first '88 seems to have the advantage, for she has rushed up against a fence which creaks and groans and finally gives way, sending head over heels several Juniors who had taken a position there to watch the fight. '87 and '88 are thrown into a promiscuous heap, from which they gradually extricate themselves, and once more rush at each other. This time it is decisive. The Sophomores rush the Freshmen off the sidewalk and retain possession of it. Now a number of single combats takes place in almost every one of which the Sophomores gain the victory...
