...Crimson-Advocate difficulty as a most unfortunate affair. Most of them agree with the Herald in ascribing it to a series of misunderstandings for which neither party is to be seriously blamed. Yale of course sides against us in the matter; Princeton endeavors to be just-severely just; the rest are neutral or indifferent...
...with his foot and then passed it to one of the rushers, who, however, was soon stopped. By good playing of Kimball and Austin, the ball was forced very near Andover's goal; good plays of Mills and Follett brought it near Harvard's. The playing for the rest of the half was very exciting, the ball being at times near Harvard's goal, and being kicked over the fence back of their opponents goal two or three times.

This superiority in numbers, it is possible, decided the game in Harvard's favor...

The men, however, must be cautioned that the strictest regularity in coming to the gymnasium is necessary; it will never do for a man to present himself for a day or two and then be absent for the rest of the week. The captain complains of this irregularity, that. out of the thirty-five men who have signed their names as candidates, only three eights, and some times but two. can be got together in the gymnasium. It is to be hoped that, after foot-ball has ceased...
