...they are now on a par with Yale's. We are assured that the good work is to continue. If Princeton continues to take a firm stand in favor of all manly sports, it will do much to increase her patronage from these sources, for, these schools are all warm supporters of athletics. Moreover, the athletic events, as they take place at these schools, are carefully watched by the athletic associations in the various New England colleges, and whenever a man shows marked ability, they manifest a great interest in his choice of college. Then the tie of friendship, after...
...Here it stayed without any important change of position until a long punt by B. Hodge and a fumble by Beecher resulted in a Princeton man touching the Yale goal line with his feet as he lay upon the ground embracing the ball. For 15 minutes the contest waxed warm at this point, but Yale stood firm and played in such steady form that no touch-down was scored against her.

On the conclusion...
...rowing men could not have asked for more favorable conditions of wind and water than those which prevailed on Saturday. The air was just warm enough for rowing. The wind hardly ruffled the surface of the river. After the close of recitations at noon, about 200 students betook themselves to the boat-house, and stood in groups along the edge of the platforms or lay at ease upon the runs leading to the floats. Soon after noon the barges were brought out and launched and the men drawn by lot to form the senior eights took their positions. The scene...
