Yesterday afternoon Captain Wrightington of the Football Eleven received a magnificent silver loving cup sent by the United States Military Academy Athletic Association at West Point, N. Y., to the Harvard Football Association...
...mile run a large field started with Conneff on the scratch. It was announced that Grant would try to break the Harvard record, and, as he had a handicap of 50 yards, he continued beyond the finish to this point where special timers were stationed.
