Some daring innovator conceived the idea of throwing tooth-picks in bunches. This was quickly taken up by a score of imitators, although it was somewhat frowned upon by the members of the old school. There was the usual number of reckless persons who did not hesitate to throw ice and butter, while some favored napkins soaked in water. The firing of mashed potatoes and chocolate cream pie was rare but effective. One man dared to swing the catsup bottle round his head, but was deterred by his companions before this project could be put into execution. The evening...
Although the team has lost its one league game played this season, that with Princeton last Friday, it has been successful in its other contests. Spring-field Y. M. C. A. College, which has beaten Yale, was defeated 2 to 1, and victories were scored over Prospect Union 2 to 0 and Andover 2 to 0. Cornell does not present a very formidable team as it has already been beaten by Yale and Princeton. The defeat at the hands of the Tigers was by a score...

Present indications point to the Princeton's team entering the contest next Saturday a strong favorite...

At the end of the first half, with the score nothing to nothing, it seemed that the veteran Princeton team would have the advantage at the end of the second half and everyone naturally expected to see Princeton start the last part of the game with a tremendous aggressiveness. But it took only a very few minutes of play to show...
