Lyons, '85, of Yale has made the longest throw and also the longest hit in the Inter-collegiate record. The distance of the throw was 385 feet 2 inches that of the hit was 450 feet from the home plate to the spot at which the ball fell...
...Sorg at Augsburg, Creussmer and Koburger at Nuremberg, of Bartolomeo di Cremona, Ratdolf, John of Cologne and Scotus at Venice, of Caxton and Wynkyn de Norde and Pynson and Berthelet in England and of many other famous presses throughout Europe. Especially represented among these early books are those which throw light upon the development of natural science. Such are the editions of Aristotle, Pliny, Ptolemy and Albertus Magnus; oracular compends of Isidore, Hrabanus Maurus; the monkish encyclopedias of Vincent de Beauvais, of Bartholomaeus de Granville, of Jacobus Magnus, of Mathias Farinator, the speculations of Pierre d'-Ailly, Nicholas of Cusa...

This may not be the case; but it is a fair inference from the facts before us. On the other hand, it is certainly unfortunate that Yale should have neglected to answer a communication of such importance, even if her reply had been...
...very scientific one. They blocked well, and the way they broke through the Yale rush-line was perfectly delightful to watch. And when they had got through, there was no standing round looking on. The nearest man to the Yale player who had the ball would seize him and throw him all alone. There was no holding a man up, and as soon as a Yale man went down, the men from the centre were always on him to stop his passing the ball out. Perry played a strong game throughout, doing first-class work, while Piper was very conspicuous...
