...Henry, which guarded the Tennessee river. Halleck, as usual, was afrald and undecided, but Grant with 17,000 men, aided by Commodore Foote with seven gun-boats, swooped down on Foote with seven gun-boats, swooped down on Fort Henry. The surprise was complete. Gillman, who commanded the fort, saw he could not hold out, and sending most of his garrison to reinforce Fort Donelson, he surrendered...
...large crowd saw the Princeton-Yale freshman game on Wednesday. Yale '99 won principally from superior team work, but the game was very close, especially in the first part of the second half. The report of the Princeton game shows a profit of $15,000 for each Association.

The Carlisle Indian School sent an unexpectedly strong team, and it required Yale's best work to make the three touchdowns which made the final score. The game was sharp and well fought, and on the whole was a cleanly played game as well. The Indians showed a recklessness that was not hard to understand, and an evident attachment to the game that was out of harmony with their short acquaintance with it. Their work in the line was excellent...
