...till Holden almost finds a hole in Yale's rush line. Dudley and Porter fumble, and Porter is hurt; Boyden takes his place. Butler gains fifteen yards but Harvard is slowly forced back. Yale gets the ball on a fair catch, and Butler downs Watkinson before he can stir. Watkinson's kick is stopped and Harvard gets the ball. There is a good deal of punting now. Peabody, Holden and Boyden make fair catches; but the ball is returned every time and Yale gets it near our goal. Peabody just manages to throw Beecher, who passes the ball...
...third carried him over the line, giving him a touchdown near the fair line. The ball was punted out and heeled, but the try at goal failed. Yale gained twenty yards at once, but three downs gave them no more ground, Dudley throwing two men before they could stir. The half closed with the ball about in the middle of the field...

Palmer's verses in his Ode to Herrick, are more musical and better tuned. They cannot fail to stir a genuine lover of Herrick. Mr. A. B. Houghton's Ballad of Pleasure Seekers, though far above the average of college verse, is not, we think, quite up to the standard of his former work, in spite of a number of lines more than ordinarily good. It is likely that...
