...customary for Exeter to send a large delegation of football men to Harvard, but we find only two at present trying for the eleven. These two are Goldthwaite and Horn-the latter of whom is playing centre rush for the 'Varsity. From the Roxbury Latin are Williams and Blainey. Hopkinson sends some promising candidates, among who are W. Weld, who was hurt while practising with the 'Varsity a few days ago, but will be out again in a few days to play halfback. Nichols has played quarterback for several years, and is a good tackler. The others from Hopkinson...

...team was down stairs in the sparring room changing their apparel. At half past seven about one half of the class met in the square near Beck. The torches lately used in the 250th anniversary parade, were made to do duty a second time, and with a band of horn-blowers and fire-cracker throwers the victorious class marched through Harvard Street to the yard.
