...hold the ball after three downs; when if one player had tackled him around the hips and upset him, as one can do only by getting in the way of his legs, he could not make five feet. With one or two exceptions, our rushers all jump for the neck and shoulders.-the very worst thing they could do. It is well enough against men of their own weight, but heavier men will ward them off, dodge them, or carry them along, every time. Tackle a man low (not unfairly low, of course...
...yards for juniors followed. F. W. White and A. S. Johnson ran. This race was the most exciting of any, the men coming along neck and neck. Johnson won by six inches, but fell from exhaustion just as he crossed the line. Time, 23 3-4 sec. Wendell Baker, '86, then ran 220 yards against time, and made it in 22 3-4 sec., within an eighth of a second of the collegiate record. In the 100 yards race for '87, Rogers and Todd ran. The event was won by Rogers, time, 10 7-8 seconds. Next came the half...

First round: Varick opened the round with quick hitting, but was easily kept off by the able defence and long reach of Bradley who planted hard neck and blows right and left on Varick's face. At times the men closed but were quickly parted by the referee. Varick took Bradley's blows hardly and boxed with much effort, Bradly remaining for the greater part on the defensive...
Second round. This round opened quietly with much caution on Varick's part, who kept out of the way of Bradley's hard face blows. Soon, however, Varick dealt Bradley a terrific body blow but received a hard hit on the neck in return. Notwithstanding his bad condition he managed to deal Bradley an unusually hard kidney blow, but by his careless guard lost all he had gained. A little close fighting followed and the round ended quietly, much in Bradley's favor...
