...instant tolerate Yale's assumption that a Princeton man is not good enough to referee this year's game. Such assumptions are a part of ancient history. In future, we will not introduce them, if Yale does not; but we must first have satisfaction for the past, and security for the future. Yale must this year do as she last year forced Princeton to do; she must play on our grounds and with a Princeton referee, If she rather chooses to leave the championship in Princeton for another year, she will do what Princeton did not do last year...
...contest the champion eleven of Memorial table No. 3, and with difficulty overthrew them. Brilliant play, rapid running, rough tackling and generous gore distinguished the game throughout. Yale's tactics were closely followed, and the disabled strewed the field. Both teams were from '87. Time was called at half past eleven. In the first wild enthusiasm, G. W.

The composure of the Flubdubs throughout...

The eleven has worked hard, and the results have been in proportion...
...Glee Club-Pierian game was set for two o'clock but as might have been expected did not get under way until half past two. As soon as the two teams lined up, it was evident that the Glee Club was heavier, and had more semi-professionals, or men who had played before, than the Pierian. Nothing daunted, the Pierian started in to win through superior skill. Unluckily the skill did not seem to show itself at the right time, or even at any time. When play was called, some good rushing by Faulkner carried the ball quite...
