...long it is impossible to say. Still we don't give up all hope and console ourselves with the thought that we have a very strong second eleven when it scores touchdown after touchdown against the 'Varsity. Channing, '90, has been put on in Payne's place, and though very light, is playing a good game, running and dodging in good form...
...fall games of the Athletic Association came off last Wednesday and were a greater success than any fall meeting has ever been heretofore.

In spite of the accidents attending this game, as at present played, no sport affords better opportunity for vigorous training. Though rowing contributes largely to the development of the back and legs, and slightly to the arms and chest, to the gymnasium and foot-ball training we must attribute much of the superb muscular development of rowing...
