...Seamans, however, missed the goal. The ball was kept near the Harvard goal for most of the time; but in the last ten minutes of the first three-quarters, Princeton "braced up," and drove it up towards their goal. McCosh of Princeton made a very pretty kick that was much applauded, as was also Ballard's run; but Princeton showed want of practice in passing the ball. At the end of the first three-quarters the game stood: Harvard, one touch-down; Princeton, nothing...
...Harvard was "right there." On the Harvard team Seamans's playing was splendid; Blanchard was rugged, and always on hand; Cushing, '79, was omnipresent, turning up at every instant; Holmes worked well; Herrick made some pretty, though not very effective, runs; and Winsor several good dashes.

...Spring Races will take place on Saturday, May 26, over the Union course. The expense of providing cups of much value as personal prizes for the members of the winning crews would be too great for the present financial condition of the clubs, since at present all the available funds are needed to buy the boats and to establish the system, as now improved, on a firm basis; and accordingly, the customary pewter trophies will probably be given. The two large cups, however, of which we give some account, confer a marked honor and glory, which renders them prizes more...
