...Allen were the most conspicuous, and on the Pierian, Hallowell and Carpenter. Everybody tackled pretty well, and showed a delightful readiness in piling up on a man as soon as he was caught. The game was played for cups and for gore, and it would be difficult to say which side was entitled to "first blood." However no one was seriously injured, and if the game afforded as much amusement to the contestants as it did to the spectators, nothing more could be asked...
