...Midnight Bell," Charles H. Hoyt's new comedy, was presented for the first time in Boston at the Boston theatre last evening. The play is presented in four acts, each scene being exceedingly realistic, especially the school house which is a good reproduction of an old fashioned country school. The cast is strong throughout but Martin Tripp the country boy, and Squire Olcott meet with the greatest favor and keep the audience in laughter throughout the performance. The story is of a bank robbery and the real robber is not found out until the ringing of the midnight bell...

Last year the winning elevens, in almost every case, shut out their opponents, and Yale did not have a point scored against her during the entire season; but this year the stronger teams have not been able to prevent the weaker ones from scoring, and the following schedule of points scored...
...Week's Sport, in an interesting summary of the season's work, says: The style of play has not materially altered from that of last season, except that kicking has become more popular and effective. Last year it was the common practice never to kick until forced by the third down; this year many a good punt has been put in at the second down, and some even at the first.
