...Live Oaks proved quite an interesting one. The fielding of both Nines was very good, but the batting, owing to effective pitching on both sides, was quite weak; the so-called weak strikers came to our rescue, however, in the fifth inning, and saved the situation. While all played well, a beautiful one-hand stop by Leeds, and several excellent pick-ups by Wright, are worthy of special mention. Below is the full score...
...present war, tracing the history of both countries only so far as necessary, he would confer a favor on the students that would be highly appreciated. If in the limits of a single lecture it would be impossible to treat the history with enough fulness, it might be well to indicate the best sources for supplementary information, and to confine the lecture to such points as bear directly on the subject. If, we repeat, any one of our professors should kindly deliver such a lecture - and as long before the Annuals as convenient - we feel sure that the audience will...
...filled with fair ones and their escorts. The game was called at about 3-25 P. M., after some delay occasioned by a dispute as to the size of the ball, Harvard kicking north and Princeton south.

The ball was kept near the Harvard goal for most of the time; but in the last ten minutes of the first three-quarters, Princeton "braced up," and drove it up towards their goal. McCosh...
...failed in always having a man on the spot to follow up the advantage; in which latter respect Harvard was "right there." On the Harvard team Seamans's playing was splendid; Blanchard was rugged, and always on hand; Cushing, '79, was omnipresent, turning up at every instant; Holmes worked well; Herrick made some pretty, though not very effective, runs; and Winsor several good dashes. Mr. Wetherbee was much missed; and, in fact, the want of strong rushers, like Messrs. Leeds and Rollins, was much felt...
...ambitious to some day increase the number of Harvard's delegation to Washington; but we all feel that there is too little provision here made to fit us for such honorably useful positions as those at which, it is to be supposed, this ambition aims. In pursuance of that well-considered scheme of study which we have been advised to early adopt, we are fitting ourselves for the particular path in life which is to lead to necessary bread-and-butter and merited glory; but in this Republic we all, as heirs apparent, realize the possibility of being called...
