...Mott Haven team met yesterday afternoon at the gymnasium at a quarter past four o'clock. The number of the candidates was fair for a first call, but a large proportion of the heavy-weight men did not put in an appearance. The candidates are to be divided into three classes, and each class will go into a different kind of training. Yesterday the heavy-weight men, such as candidates for throwing the hammer, putting the shot, tug of-war, etc., were represented only by Gibson, '88, who for this time exercised in the class of runners, jumpers...
...should be a marked anniversary celebration. "By a singular coincidence, the First Church of Cambridge was organized, and Harvard College founded in the year 1636. Side by side they have pursued their work for nearly 250 years, during which eight generations of men have come and gone, until their quarter-millennial anniversaries are just before us. The success of these time honored organizations reflects new lustre upon their founders, and calls for a proper recognition from their children. We trust this will be forthcoming, and take form in a way which shall do honor to these ancient institutions. The First...
Founded in 1837, seven years after the close of the War for Independence, it began its career with a few professors and barely 100 students.

I am informed from very reliable authority that the boy's father promised him $25 apiece for every touch-down he would make during the season. The indulgent parent rejoices in his son's notoriety, which has cost him the sum of $400, as the youngster scored sixteen touch-downs. - Globe...
...players, and class elevens are carefully reviewed. The article closes with the following on general track athletics: "In general track athletics good work has been done. Records have been freely broken in the mile walk by Bemis, '87; in the two-mile bicycle race by Dean, '88, and the quarter and half-mile runs by Wendell Baker, '86. Mr. Lathrop is doing good work as a trainer and general director, and the results are surprising. For the sixth time the Mott Haven cup, emblematic of the college championship in track athletics, was won by Harvard men last spring...
