After numerous holds had been taken and broken the judge gave them a lock hold and Craig was quickly thrown. Time, 15m. The second round was finished in about one third the time of the first, Austin getting a firm hold around Craig's body and easily throwing him, thus winning the bout...
...spring comes on, the time for the annual assignment of college rooms draws nearer, and those who so far have not been fortunate enough to get rooms in the yard begin to wonder whether they will be successful this year, or be thrown again upon the tender mercies of the Cambridge house holder.

...life work. Such things as this must be remedied, and there must be a class of men to remedy them. Every science and every profession would offer analogous opportunities for the development of a man's concentrated energies in a direction where all hopes of gaining money must be thrown aside. Harvard abounds in rich young men whose eyes ought to be opened to the possibilities of entering upon a course of purely theoretical labor, in which they may not only find personal satisfaction, but also gain the gratitude and the esteem of their more unfortunate brother laborers, whose energies...
