...December it was found that the original donation of $25,000 would not cover entirely the cost of the building, and the New York Harvard club at once subscribed $2,500 more. By the last of December the building was well toward completion. On the morning of December 27 a fire started in a small work-house where workmen were heating creosote shingle-stain. An explosion followed, which set fire to the boat house and in a very short time the building had burned to the ground. The launch, Frank Thompson, which was lying near, was also destroyed...

The railroad managers in giving out their figures have been accustomed to throwing all the grades about a thousand in number, into five classes and giving the average for each class. Henry C.

This bit of individual playing alone kept the teams tied during the first half of the game, since Harvard was clearly outplayed during the rest of the half. Finally, however, toward the end of the game Harvard had more success in stopping Carlisle's attack, and through greater endurance and with a better re-enforcement of substitutes, was enabled in the last six minutes of play to score the two touchdowns which won the game. In all-round team play the Carlisle...
