Had it been possible to play but ten minutes more, the game would have been scored. As it was, the Amherst men were glad to delay the otherwise unavoidable de feat. The Harvard men then left Amherst for Northampton, and thence took the train to Springfield...
...mile walk, Davison, '88 S., and Wentworth, '87 S., are training, but neither are doing the work that Meredith did last year.

Contributing to this may be counted, an able management, the new experience of being in the league, and the new athletic field which has recently received a sodded diamond, and an ample grand stand. The team financially will be well supported. $1350 was raised at the college mass meeting, not $1850, as some of the papers have stated...
