...running game almost entirely, while Harvard, whose duty and intention it was to rely on their kicking for this half, did little but fumble. The game was started at three o'clock with Stevens in possession of the ball. The Stevens men tried to run with it, but in spite of the high tackling of the Harvard rushers, they did not gain much ground. Then a Stevens back muffed the ball, and Remington dropped on it. Sears kicked the ball so far over our rushers heads that the Stevens men had plenty of time to return it, giving...

...valorous Frenchmen, or Italians, for some one hundred and twenty eight consecutive minutes, made day hideous with their mournful lays, or rather with their Marseillaise, and with other tunes of merry France, and awakened tender memories of "dear Parce," in the breast of many a sober "grind." Imprecations in spite of the memories came in showers from adjoining windows upon the singers' devoted heads. Many more discordant noises could be mentioned, but we refrain. So did the Italians, but in a different way. Now, in sober earnest, what are we going to do about it? There must exist some responsible...
