...candidates for the quarterback position were tried out, Freedley, Logan and Watson showing up the best on account of their experience. Of the other three,--Bradlee, Rollins, and Mahan,--the former easily outdid his rivals. He handled the team with such good judgement and sureness that his work was much of a surprise. Mahan, who also played at half, seemed much more at home in the latter position. His runs equaled Hardwick's in dash and brilliancy, and it does not seem improbable that in a few days he will be permanently removed from the quarterback race...
...Nicholas Club 2 to 0. The second match of the schedule did not come until January 10, when Princeton was played in New York. The Tigers were known to be very strong and after the exhibition against Technology, few hopes for success could be held. The men fairly outdid themselves, however, and returned with a 3 to 2 victory. This triumph seemed to be sufficient grounds for believing that Princeton would be again defeated in the second game. Such was not the case, however, for just ten days later the team from New Jersey came to the Arena and exactly...
...told amusing stories, and gave some good imitations, especially of the playing of the banjo and the mandolin.

The Labakans performed many ludicrous gymnastic feats, but their little black and tan "Folly" quite outdid them. Rogers, the singer, was much appreciated and Hawthorne and Burt gave a laughable little sketch, in which Burt told of his economies and their disastrous results. Devoy and Miller volunteered to show how to tumble under difficulties...
...best work and E. H. Clarke saved the day by surpassing his own previous performances with a put of 40 feet 4 1-2 inches, giving Harvard second place and tieing the score. Another surprise was in the pole vaulting of A. B. Emmons '98, who outdid himself by vaulting 10 feet 9 inches and beating out Stewart for second place. Remington's jump of 22 feet 8 inches disappointed Harvard's hope in the broad jump. Hoffman showed that he is a sprinter of exceptional speed and power...
...eighth they scored four times on two bases on balls, three hits and a man hit by pitched ball. The Harvard nine outdid them in their half of the inning with five runs, made on good hitting and several bad errors by the Lovells. This was the last time at the bat for the Harvard nine, while the Lovells added three runs in the ninth on four bases on balls and two passed balls by Buckman...
