The vigor and zeal of his playing need no comment here...
...excitement was over before it had grown very late, and by twelve o'clock the gallant defenders of the crimson were taking their much needed rest. The freshmen made a good celebration upon very short notice. They behaved themselves well and deserve credit for the enthusiastic but withal guarded manner in which they gave vent to their natural and proper feelings of pride at their success...
