...great service; Ballard and Bryan distinguished themselves particularly, though all Princeton's rushers were very good at tackling, and played well together. Our kicks were very feeble compared with those of Princeton, but those of our men who could kick should have done so, instead of trying to run through so many rushers; our men, too, need to be quicker, as they lost several opportunities by lagging...
...perfect harmony of the meeting was, however, slightly marred by one matter, which we dislike to notice, yet cannot pass over in silence. In spite of the efforts of the Committee, certain members of the class apparently resolved to run a partial ticket of their own, and sought, by combinations, to secure its success.

...yard handicap was run against the wind. The fifth heat was won by W. J. Crowley, 12 feet, in 10 1/4 sec.; the sixth by J. S. Voorhis, 18 feet, in 10 sec.; the second round by C A. J.

This is on an eighth of a mile track, and a cold windy day, while the fastest professional time in the world is 48 1/4 sec., the fastest English amateur time 50 2/5 sec., and the fastest American amateur time 52 1/5 sec. This latter was made July 4, 1878, on the best track in America, warm day, no wind, and in a race between the fastest two men we have...
