...teams. I have no means of judging how many are found in this category, but that most of them refrain reluctantly - as betraying either their poverty or want of sympathy with their fellows - I do not doubt. Upon those who do contribute to the sports, a variety of motives press with great force and unite with the often newly acquired liberty to spend to make their subscriptions disproportionate to their means. When so many claims in so many branches of athletics are presented at one time (as to the freshmen at the opening of the term) the aggregate becomes...
...inevitable victory which the CRIMSONS scored yesterday over the Peachblows serves as a fitting climax to the long series of successes which we have to record. Let us with due modesty recall them. The CRIMSON to-day holds the inter-press tug-of-war championship, won in '83, the championship in the oared scratch race, (Oct. 11, 1884), and the championship of the inter-press foot ball elevens, (Nov. 10, 1885).

We go to press at too late an hour to allow of any extensive investigation as to the opinion of the students concerning the unsuccessful attempt to build a bonfire in the yard. But we feel compelled to censure any proceeding upon the part of the students which will tend to endanger college property. There is little doubt but that the indiscriminate building of fires will have this result. The question which now remains...
