...Hill, the second speaker for Princeton, opened his debate by stating that Bruce had not quoted Weston rightly. Weston had declared that the Transvaal was independent only in internal affairs, whereas Bruce said it was entirely independent. Up to 1884 it was England's policy to prevent the Transvaal from having even a moderate self-government, and after that year the Boers became entirely unaccustomed to independent government. The Jameson raid was the real cause of the present disturbance, which was greatly increased by the pressure of England's claims to suzerainty. If Great Britain had thrown aside these claims...
During the whole of the second half, Yale played to prevent Harvard from scoring. Burnett kicked off and McBride punted to midfield. Yale gained on the next exchange, and finally secured the ball on Harvard's 40-yard line on a forward pass by Sawin to Kendall. Yale could not gain by rushing, and then the ball was passed back 20 yards to McBride in order to keep possession of it, and obtain first down. Again Yale began to rush the ball and this time with better success. Fresh halfbacks gained through the line at will, until Harvard took...

Redwater dropped on it, scrambled to his feet and broke away down a clear field. Daly caught him from behind, but too late to prevent a touchdown. Wheelock missed the goal...
...Carlisle Indians will be one of the hardest of Harvard's season. Every year the Indians have made an up-hill fight against adverse conditions, but this year they have grasped the finer points of football and are particularly strong.

With his long punts, Hallowell should equal Hudson in kicking. Skilful as the latter is in kicking goals from the field, his eleven...
...first for downs, but the guards-back formation could not gain. Exchanges of punts followed, and, one of Warren's kicks being blocked, Peyton secured the ball on the first eleven's twenty-five yard line. The guards-back plays worked well, and the 'Varsity was unable to prevent Lee and Rainsford from gaining their distance. Ground given for offside play brought the ball near the line, and the second carried it over for the first time this season...
