...nine victories. From carelessness or some other cause, only ninety balls remain to attest these victories. Permission has been obtained to put a case in the auditor's room, Memorial Hall. The present case in Massachusetts is too small to contain the fifty-four balls we have won the past two years, and those already in it, - about forty in all. This fact, and the requirement that the case shall be made of chestnut to match the wood-trimmings in the hall, make it necessary to order a new one. A case nine feet long, six feet high, background...
...change. It is only in the meeting of the Directors that opposition to a late breakfast has been made. The Directors seem to have thought rather of prolonging the meal half an hour than of postponing it. On Sunday mornings less than ten men come to breakfast before half past eight. Last Sunday only three came before that hour. The Steward says that he would be perfectly willing to have the Sunday breakfast postponed half an hour if the boarders so desire.

For some time the ball was kept in the centre, until a fine run by Houston, and another by Bacon, brought it well up to Princeton's goal. After some sharp playing on both sides, the ball was passed to Holmes, who, by a fine rush, secured the first touch-down for Harvard. Captain Cushing attempted to kick it over the goal, but failed, amidst shouts of joy by the supporters of Princeton. Soon after, the referee called...
S.THE COLUMBIA GAME.The game with Columbia, postponed from Friday, was played on Monday in a severe rainstorm. Both teams were late in arriving. Cushing won the toss, and chose the northern end. It was ten minutes past three before the ball was kicked off. The rain fell in torrents, and the men were soon wet through. In a few moments the ball was rushed down towards Columbia's goal, and before she knew it, Cushing, M. S., had obtained a touch-down. Harrington quickly got two more. The ball was punted out, but no goal was secured. Then the ball...
