...ridden by Mr. Dickey. After a good send-off, Redskin and Spotted Tail soon showed to the front, and by the time the back-stretch was reached, had opened a lead of several lengths over Pale Face, who was a length ahead of Papoose. Down the backstretch the horses went in the same order, with Spotted Tail lapping Redskin, the others having lost some distance. Rounding the turn, Spotted Tail overhauled Redskin, headed him and opened distance, coming down the homestretch and finishing under the whip a clear length ahead.

...ball rebounded from a Princeton rusher and was soon at the foot of our posts. In a maul-in-goal which followed, Kimball of Princeton secured the ball and scored a touch down from which Moffat kicked an easy goal. The ball was brought out and Harvard went to work in earnest so that in a very short time the ball was forced to Princeton's ground. The ball was passed back to Cowling and he kicked a very pretty goal from the field. From the next kick-off the ball again approached Princeton's line, and from a fumble...
...name from Colonel Ephraim Williams, a soldier of the old French war. Dartmouth College was named after Lord Dartmouth, who subscribed a large amount and was president of the first board of trustees. Brown University received its name from Niclolas Brown, who was a graduate of the college, went into business, became very wealthy and endowed the college very largely. Bowdoin College was named after Governor Bowdoin of Maine. Yale College was named after Elihu Yale, who made very liberal donations to the college...
