...matches and fist fights, interspersed at times with fine play of foot-ball. We can reiterate the remark of a spectator who stood by us, which was : "That's awful rough work, rougher than I've ever seen, but if it suits them it certainly does me." The excitement ran very high among the spectators, and the college boys fairly hugged each other with joy as their favorite team would make a good play. Had the referee done his duty he would have disqualified several of the players, and notably so Twombly, the quarter-back of Yale. He was just...
...horses went in the same order, with Spotted Tail lapping Redskin, the others having lost some distance. Rounding the turn, Spotted Tail overhauled Redskin, headed him and opened distance, coming down the homestretch and finishing under the whip a clear length ahead. Meanwhile Papoose overtook Pale Face, and ran a good third to finish. Time was not taken...

As they neared the straight for the last time, however, George had increased the lead to five yards, and, although Snook struggled gamely, and at one time managed to get within a yard or so of the leader, George immediately went away again...
...five touchdowns from which one goal was kicked. Three of the touchdowns were made by Knowlton, the centre rush, whose effective playing did every thing for his side. Toward the end of the last three-quarters Stearns got a very pretty goal from the field, and soon after Wallace ran directly through the '87 team making a touchdown under the very bar itself. Harvard was forced to a safety touchdown in the first three-quarters. The score by points count up 20 to 0 in favor of Andover. This defeat seems to dispirit the freshmen rather than to urge them...
