...lively scrimmages, '89 gradually forced the ball down towards '88's goal, and Perry rushed over the line and made a touchdown just fifteen minutes after play was begun. As only one of the goal posts was in an upright position, Umpire Slocum had to raise the other and support it while Perry kicked a goal. Score, '89, 6; '88, 0. When the ball was again put in play, '88 took heart, and forced it steadily towards '89's goal. The junior rush line held well, however, and it was some time before a bad fumble on their part caused...
...freshman foot-ball team is treated by the class. The members of its team have worked hard and faithfully all the fall and now when their important game has come, the game with the Yale freshmen, the members of '91 refuse to accompany their eleven to New Haven and support it by cheering. So few men go to New Haven to-day that the number is not sufficient to influence the railroads to offer special rates. I have been in college but a short time and consequently know little of the customs or the place, but from all I have...

...strange that such an indifference can exist in a college. It would be well if '91 took a lesson from the freshman class of Yale. Already they have been praised for the hearty support given to their team and their well-trained cheering. They will show today that their patriotism has not been for nothing, and their steady cheering will be a great aid to the representatives on the field. It must be admitted that it is a great deal more trouble to accompany a team on a trip than it is on Jarvis and yell "Harvard," but nevertheless...
...those who intend to go to New York for the game tomorrow. In the first place every man who can possibly afford the trip with the reduced rates which have been obtained should make a strong effort to be present at the game. There is nothing like good, hearty support in the way of cheering; it encourages the team mightily. Secondly, all the coaches should start together promptly at 11 o'clock from the Brunswick in order that all may be together on the grounds. Each coach should be as gaily decorated as possible, and plenty of Harvard banners...
