...Sargent exhibited before the Boston Physical Education Society, last night in the Gymnasium a new invention called an 'inomotor' for a better development of the body than can be brought about by the old forms of apparatus. This new invention which is a good deal like a sliding rowing seat in appearance, is intended to impel boats, carriages and bicycles by means of arm and leg power. The operator sits on a sliding seat, puts his feet in a sliding boot rest, and grasps a lever in each hand. With a simultaneous use of both legs and body...

On the other side of the main hall there is a tank about twenty feet wide and forty feet long. Behind...

He and Stillman carried the ball ten yards further, but Stillman fumbled on the twenty-five yard line. Carlisle tried to punt, but Bowditch broke through, blocked the punt and got the ball. Swann and Stillman then took it through the line to within two yards of the goal, and Swann finally plunged through the line for the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal...
