...regret to hear that Harvard has been beaten by Yale in the late foot-ball match. The score shows that Harvard had really the best of the match, as she obtained three touch-downs, while Yale secured one goal; but, whatever the match shows, still it is nominally a defeat for Harvard.

About twenty minutes after the game began, an accident occurred which seriously marred our thus far uninterrupted pleasure. Mr. Whiting, in an almost hopeless attempt to rush through three men, slipped...
