...strong wind effectually stopped the freshman half-backs from kicking far. Eighty-six had many chances to score which were lost through bad fumbling and careless passing. In spite of these drawbacks, they scored fairly rapidly. Burnett, Vogel and Gilman all making touch-downs, from none of which were goals kicked owing to the wind. About this time. Morgan wrenched his knee and was forced to retire, Newell taking his place. There then remained but about five minutes, and it seemed improbable that eighty-six would have time to score before the referee called time. By sharp playing they managed...
...type a full set of notices bearing on this subject, from the mild preparatory announcements which mark the entrance of new committees upon their tiresome task, to the frantic appeals which so surely denote the close of the college year. This year we admit that we have been outwitted. None of the customary notices have met the approbation of the new committee. Something more startling was demanded, and the columns of yesterday's issue contain the initiatory menace of the committee.

...Yale is especially fortunate in her trans-Atlantic visitors. Hardly a person of distinction in the religious, literary, and judicial world but has paid her a visit during his sojourn in this country and delivered her students a short informal address, tinctured by none of that formalism and stiffness which the uninformed are liable to attribute to greatness, but marked by that geniality and whole heartedness which is so distinctively an English characteristic.

They do not block hard, nor break through with any life, and they are very slow about lining up. None of them seem to have any idea about blocking off the other side when their own half backs make a rush, and when a rusher does get the ball, he generally loses it, either when he is tackled, or by reckless passing. There is plenty of passing done, altogether...
...student government at times of great rejoicing will also be a fruitful theme. If, however, after having disposed of the pressing demands of these two, the conference becomes subject to ennui, there is another field of labor to which the members can turn with profit. This field is none other than the old marking system now in vogue, and the evils of cramming and cribbing that are inseparably connected with it. A comparison of the different methods for marking used in American colleges and a discussion of the merits of each would be of great advantage. What better body...
