...awarded to him. Grew used his left almost altogether; he got in only two of the hard, right arm swings that marked his sparring last year. Marquand used both arms very well, and showed himself to be an exceedingly clever and plucky sparrer. The bout was one of the prettiest in feather-weight sparring that has been seen in the gymnasium in a long time. This entire gentlemanliness and good-nature of the contestants, together with the grit and vigor with which they fought, showed that sparring is not necessarily what some recent exhibitions might lead observers to suppose...
Time is called for a few minutes, as McClung is slightly hurt, but pluckily goes on. Harding makes next touchdown, but Woodman fails on the goal. Holden makes the prettiest run of the game, and the ball is at Exeter's 20 yard line. Porter makes the touchdown. Score 24-0. Bancroft falls on the ball behind the line, as there is no goal kicked, and makes a touchdown. Goal. Score 30-0. Boyden makes the next touchdown, as a kick of Exeter's half is stopped. Goal; 36-0. The first half ends with ball in the middle...

Yale passed the mile in 5 m. 20 s., with Harvard three seconds behind. In a short time the boats would reach the eel-grass where Yale hoped to row away from Harvard, as Harvard...
...errors being very excusable. As the 'Varsity was away Holmes was used instead of Jarvis, and the vast array of empty benches seemed to dampen the enthusiasm of the spectators, and there was no cheering, and, needless to say, no "rattling." The game was the prettiest game of the series so far, and very much the most enjoyable, as it was played strictly on its merits. Eighty-seven made only two fielding errors, which cost her nothing and were most excusable, and Eighty-eight's errors with the exception of dropped flies were also excusable. Eighty-seven also out-batted...
...games which have been, as is usually the case with the amateur nines which Harvard plays, walkovers. Practice has been carried on at a great disadvantage. The caprice of Cambridge weather, has made its effect more potent than ever, and if the elements have designs, they have done their prettiest to make defeat certain for Harvard, or else to make the victory more brilliant, since the obstacles, which they have thrown in our path have been great...
