...foot-ball yesterday morning on Jarvis. Play was begun at about 9.40 and consisted of two periods of 20 minutes each. During the first half the glee Club forced the playing and Howard gained a touchdown, but nothing was scored. In the second half the Pierians braced up and kept the ball on their adversaries' territory most of the time, forcing them once to make a safety. This finished the scoring. Many langhable incidents occurred caused by the slippery ground and eagerness of the players. For the Glee Club the best playing was done by Eliot, Baldwin, Howard and Turner...
...pretty sure to hear from the building connected with it the babel of many infantile voices, pitched in all keys, and on looking in at the open door, he will see a confused mass of little human bodies squatted on the floor, rocking back and forth in well-kept measure, and repeating, parrot-like, the lesson of the day, each viewing with the others as a lung-tester; while in the background, squatted likewise on the pedagogical mat, is the instructor, whose chief business seems to be to keep up the rhythmical rocking and Babel of sound to its highest...
...university of the Mohammedan world. Students come hither to avail themselves of its instruction not only from all parts of Egypt, but from all over the Orient, and the number in constant attendance ranges from 10,000 to 12,000.

The president of the university...
...sparring adds greatly to the interest in our winter meetings. As all the winners of last year's prizes have left college there is a particularly good opening for beginners, and we trust that a large number of men will take advantage of it. More men perhaps are kept out of sparring for fear of "making fools of themselves" than anything else. This feeling may be increased this year by the tendency to prize-fighting which was seen in the middle-weight sparring last of year, but as all who saw it were thoroughly disgusted we think there is very...
...training for only six months. Up to Christmas the candidates for the crew are to meet three times a week, twice to row under the able coaching of Mr. Bancroft and once for a walk in the country. No strict training is done. By this arrangement the crew is kept together, has the advantage of a coach and is not likely to grow stale and weary months before the race, as has occurred in former years. The common sense of this will suggest itself to all, for strict training during nine mouths of the year is likely to prove...
