...Yale, McClung, Crosby, and Graves did the best work. The work of all the men on the Harvard team was so good that it is hard to praise any one in particular without doing injustice to the rest. The work of Cranston and Heard against Hefflefinger, deserves notice; as well as the rushing and tackling of Newell and Allen. Harding played an admirable game, using the men well and rushing strongly himself. The half-back work of Wadsworth and Lee was strong and often brilliant; Dennison also did good work. The team as a whole played a sharp aggressive game...
...called at 2.30 p. m. It was a hard fight from the begining. Hulme rushed the ball but gained little; Wagenhurst gained twenty yards. The ball was passed to Hill, who punted. and in the scrimmage for the ball, Wagenhurst was knocked senseless; but after a few minutes' rest, took his place again. Slayback made a rush for Wesleyan but lost the ball. Hill tried to punt but the kick was blocked and Wesleyan got the ball. By several rushes Wesleyan gain forty yards. McDonald now punted to Pennsylvania's thirty-yard line. Pennsylvania got the ball, and rushes...

As it is now out of the question to play in New York, the college...
Trophies are being made for the members of Yale's victorious nine of last year. The foreground of the medals will be a representation of a base wrought in Roman gold and behind the base two bats will rest crossing each other. The bats will be long enough to protrude beyond the base, and between the upper ends will be a miniature base-bail made of platinum. The bats will be constructed of polished gold, and upon the front of the base the words, "Yale, Champions 1888," will be inscribed. The other side will contain the owner's name with...
...Yale rests her case solely on the constitution of the foot-ball association, and if any change is made it must be by vote of the association and not a single college. Harvard's peremptory demand that the game be played in Cambridge is very extraordinary to say the least. The Gill-Beecher letter, on which Harvard founds her claim, was merely the private opinion of two members of the university, and was never intended as an agreement binding the college: but even if it was, the later action of the two colleges, agreeing unconditionally to play in New York...
