...competition for them. Under the old arrangement a certain number of moderate prizes, of between fifty and one hundred dollars each were offered, for essays upon subjects stated in advance. Under the new arrangement two large prizes,--a first prize of two hundred and fifty dollars and a second prize of two hundred dollars, -- are offered for undergraduates in regular standing, on subjects to be selected by the writers themselves. The only limitation as to subject is that it shall be a contribution to "useful and polite literature" (this was the phrase used by Governor Bowdoin, who founded the prizes...
After half an hour spent in running through signals yesterday, the University eleven lined up against the second team for two hard halves of open practice. The playing of the first eleven was remarkably good. There was no fumbling, and the defense against the second was strong at all times.

In the second half, they felt the loss of the regular quarterback, Daly, who was injured. The backs frequently weakened on the defensive, and the forwards, who were forced back, would often put them out of the play. On a slippery field and against heavier opponents, the line-men played too high. But they were not responsible for the poor judgement shown in the second half when, with...
