...report that Exeter has a strong eleven this year proved to be not without foundation, as is shown by the result of Saturday's game, in which she defeated Harvard '88 by the score of 14 to 6. The game was called at 3.10, Eighty-eight winning the toss and taking advantage of the slight wind. Fargo soon secured the ball and by a good rush carried it into Exeter's territory, where he was neatly stopped by Morrison. The advantage however was soon lost by Eighty-eight's poor passing and fumbling. Fargo again secured the ball but unluckily...
...took the place of Bemis. The Williams' snap-back made a rush of ten yards and in doing so was hurt. This necessitated a call of "time," which lasted a few minutes. The Williams men, however, could not stand against the wind nor could they kick well. The result was that several long kicks by Willard and Kent sent the ball within the 25 yard line. The ball was forced over the line in a scrimmage and Homans made a touchdown. The try at goal failed as did all others made afterwards. Hurd here failed to secure a second touchdown...

We sincerely hope that no one will feel the worse for our remarks, least of all any members of the team for whose benefit our criticisms are made...
...least be thankful that our record is no larger. Five games have been played and of these two have been lost, or in other words forty per cent, of the games have been defeats. There was a time so many years ago when the college confidently awaited the result of intercollegiate foot ball games. A defeat was a surprise. Within the last few years, however, a defeat at the hands of Yale or Princeton has not shocked the tender sensibilities of the college as it once did. In fact a victory over Yale became as infrequent as a college holiday...
...Seniors is a Liar and a Villian," said the transparency borne by the class of '73; and equally convincing methods were employed by the others to remove all impression from the bystanders that college men had any connection with the parade. The value of obedience is shown by the result, for henceforth the Faculty ceased to interfere in the matter. The procession of '76 was notable for its transparencies. "Hayes and Wheeler and Reform in the Faculty," "Honesty in Policies and Cribs in Examinations," "Free Trade, a free Press, and Free Beer," "Hard Money and Soft Electives;" these were some...
