...Wesleyan's umpire, Mr. Cabot performing that duty for Harvard. For the first few minutes there was very little brilliant play, but a touchdown by Wesselhoeft made after a very fine run soon aroused the enthusiasm of the spectators. The goal was kicked by Austin. Shortly after Kendall ran with the ball far into Wesleyan's territory and she was forced to make a safety touchdown.

We are aware that, in the Yale games, at Hamilton Park, New Haven, Conn., May, 19, 1883, H. S. Brooks, Jr., Yale, ran a quarter-mile in 50.2-5 seconds; but this was on a half-mile trotting-track, measured 3 feet from the pole, and performances made there cannot be accepted as genuine records, in comparison with times made on paths measured in accordance with amateur athletic law.
