...walking match than a scientific exhibition. Peters had it all his way. He was given the light-weight cup. Gaines and Ellis now appeared for the final feather-weight. Gaines forced the fighting, but not very hard. Ellis stood up to his work well and the first round was anyone's. In the second round Gaines attempted a more aggressive style, rather too much so, for it gave Ellis a fine chance. Ellis was decidedly the fresher at the end of the third round and was awarded the feather-weight. A little surprise was now in store for the spectators...

It appears that these fellows amused themselves by rolling pennies down the aisle, laughing at the instructor when he had occasion to take a glass of water, snapping toothpicks round the room, and laughing, talking, clapping and stamping all through the lecture. Of course we take it for granted that these men have been taught how a gentleman should behave; but perhaps they consider themselves already to have reached man's estate. We assure them that they are mistaken. Such...
...first round the college teamed with a total of fourteen out of twenty; the L. S. team had twelve birds to their credit; the graduate team eleven birds. At the completion of the second round the order remained the same, the scores being 30, 28 and 27. The third round resulted in the graduate team taking second place and the L. S. team retiring to last, the scores being 43, 41. and 40. The order of the teams remained the same during the fourth round, the scores being 54, 53 and 51. The last round turned out disastrously...
