During the next two hours the students strolled about the Yard, gazing at such Yale men as from time to time made their appearance, and waiting until it should be time to go to the match. Those who found friends among the Yale men showed them the sights of Harvard, and those who had never seen Yale men before were surprised to find them so much like other people. Of betting there was very little. By two o'clock the seats around the ball-field began to fill, and the crowd, consisting largely of ladies, was amused by the band...
