...gratifying disposition to treat our men fairly throughtout. The game from the outset was very onesided: the Yale men played a faultless fielding game, batted cleanly and hard, and were supported most effectively by their pitcher, but three hits being made off his delivery. Our men played a listless game from the first, making frequent errors, and failing utterly to fathom Heyworth's curves. After the game the excited Yale men marched in and took possession of their fence, surveyed by a curious crowd of visitors. This ceremony concluded, they gave a very enjoyable dinner to the Harvard...
German II, the other Sophomore course, is intended as a preparation for those who have use for the language in their college studies. The object of this course is most commendable; but the recitations are conducted in such a dull, listless way that before many weeks have passed, most men become thoroughly sick of it.

...second three quarters was practically a repetition of the first, the freshmen playing a sharp, progressive game and Quincy playing in a very listless manner. In five minutes Woodman secured a touchdown. Holden next obtained the ball and kicked a pretty goal from the field. After this there followed in quick succession touchdowns by Porter, Balch, Holden, Fargo and Woodman, four of which resulted in goals. The ball was close to Quincy's goal when time was called. Score, Harvard 69, Adams Academy...
...propose to elect for the coming year should fully understand and appreciate the importance of a just and conscientious decision with regard to their future studies. It is too often the case that what is termed a "soft course" is far more likely to engage the time of a listless or indifferent student than that elective which is, perhaps, above all others especially fitted to his requirements and future aim in life, but which has gained the rather opprobrious epithet of a "stiff course." It therefore behooves the members of '87 to consider and arrange with no ordinary care...
