...canvass which is at present going on, for confirmation of this statement. Nobody has ever for a moment supposed that there would not be a small minority which would favor the existing regime, but we confidently predict that the entire student body, practically, wishes its abolition. Any claims to superior age or wisdom, we wish modestly to deny: it has always been our object, as our correspondents know perfectly well, to voice the sentiments for our students, not to "arrogate to ourselves" the task of their guidance. But we are charged with discourtesy to a correspondent. We wish...
...orange peel, and showers of water by a body of hoodlumettes ensconced upon the stairs above. This assault was the signal for little less than a riot; hairpins were drawn on both sides, and a general scrimmage seemed unavoidable.

The game is a terribly fast one, as, except by the "behinds...
...time. Here, the second casualty occurred. Baker, one of the Princeton half-backs was injured in the leg and compelled to retire in favor of Toler. Moffat and Willard then had one of their kicking matches without appreciable result. Princeton, unable to gain in this way, resorted to their superior passing and rushing and made much headway. Harvard was careless and tackled poorly again, so that a Princeton rusher was through them and scored another touchdown ere they knew it. Hodge kicked the fourth goal, making the score...
