...Austin Superior Court is now complete with the following members: W. F. Bacon, '85; H. M. Ayars, '86; E. I. Smith, '85; W. W. Winslow, '85; E. V. Abbot, '86; E. C. Wright, '86; F. D. Swope, (Hanover); A. A. Gleason...
...under way until half past two. As soon as the two teams lined up, it was evident that the Glee Club was heavier, and had more semi-professionals, or men who had played before, than the Pierian. Nothing daunted, the Pierian started in to win through superior skill. Unluckily the skill did not seem to show itself at the right time, or even at any time. When play was called, some good rushing by Faulkner carried the ball quite a way down the field, and a long kick took the ball almost to the Pierian goal-posts, and before...
...before either Harvard or Princeton are met. Such teams will be quick to follow up the advantage obtained with most disasterous results to Yale.

After a run by Ames, Harvard gets the ball again, and Sears punts well down...
...cane-spree, an institution peculiarly Princeton's own, is a thing of the past and the verdant freshman now rejoiceth much. Special regulations were adopted this year to the effect that no foot-ball men should be allowed to spree. The freshmen, by superior coaching, took the first two canes, the light-weight and the middle-weight. The struggle for the heavy-weight cane was a stubborn contest; after working hard for one hour and forty minutes, neither man was able to wrest it from his opponent and the cane was divided, the freshmen thus getting 2 1-2 canes...
