Second bout. Fletcher and A. T. Dudley, '87, (bye). Both men showed much science and quickness. Dudley finely secured his opponent by the leg, lifted him off the floor, coolly brought him into the middle of the mattress, and planted him neatly on his back. Time, 5 minutes. The second fall was also won by Dudley, who, getting Fletcher by a body grip, put him down on his shoulders and then broke the bridge which the latter had made, with his legs...
...have become joint-editors in issuing this edition de lux. Each picture is numbered and has a description attached. Some of the corpses had been in the water a day, some a week, some-nobody knew how long. Some were clothed, some were naked; some lacked an arm or leg or head, some lacked everything except a single leg or arm, which came up in the net of some fisherman, with a few rags of cloth clinging to it. We sicken at the fearful list. Let us press on into the interior of the building...
...which every man loves to talk of, with great equanimity and no complaint. It seems now. however, that this too, with so many other things, has been changed at Eton.

...Harvard the great Moffat muffed the ball and Gilman pounced upon it. Notwithstanding a bad kick by Kimball the ball was kept well down at the Princeion end for some length of time. Here, the second casualty occurred. Baker, one of the Princeton half-backs was injured in the leg and compelled to retire in favor of Toler. Moffat and Willard then had one of their kicking matches without appreciable result. Princeton, unable to gain in this way, resorted to their superior passing and rushing and made much headway. Harvard was careless and tackled poorly again, so that a Princeton...
...Agassiz, '84, J. D. Bradley, '86, and S. Cary, '86. The men got off all right at the second trial and Agassiz took the lead, but fell badly at the third hurdle. He picked himself up and ran on. Cary also tripped, and as he injured his leg did not continue the race. Bradley, who had taken the lead after Agassiz's fall, easily held it and came in first with Abbot a bad second. The winner's time was 19 1-4 seconds...
