...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...

...game has not only grown in popular favor, but there has been a marked improvement in the general playing. The scores made in the intercollegiate league show this development in the playing of all the teams, and a tendency on the part of all to play an aggressive game. 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. The tackling has improved, and there are today almost no poor tacklers on any of the association teams. The running would not have been by any means able...
