OWING to the expectation of a better game than that with Amherst, and to milder weather, the game of last Saturday was attended by a much larger number of spectators. The Princeton team was composed of unusually heavy men, whose kicking in the practice before the game made it plain that Harvard was to have a hard battle. The game was the most exciting and best-contested one ever played in this vicinity...
Princeton played with nine rushers, who worked well together, and were backed up splendidly by the half-tends and tends, whose long kicks were the envy and admiration of all Harvard supporters. For Harvard, Sedgwick, Bacon, and Houston did the best kicking, Wetherbee the best running, and Winsor and Cushing made some fine efforts, but were caught by the opposing rushers, who had an advantage in numbers, being nine to seven. Score: Princeton, one touch-down; Harvard, nothing...
...amount of matter that usually comes by the half past five mail seemed to make it scarcely worth while for the college to employ men to light the entries, but that it would be done if the desire was general among the students. Holyoke and Matthews already have janitors whose duty it is to light the entries, and there is no reason why the late mail should not be delivered in those buildings at once.

McFaul, a deaf mute of the Fanwood A. C., whose best effort for the year has been 10 1/2 sec., which was done on his own track and at the games of his own club, and who, away from home, has run no faster than 10 8/4 sec., is put on scratch in a100-yard handicap where three heats...
...have been beaten 5 1/2 or 6 seconds, and the handicap would have been absurd. But who do we find at scratch? Incomprehensible as it may seem, this mark was assigned to H. H. Moritz, S. A. A. C., who never won a level race in his life, and whose record is as follows: August 11, 1877, quarter-mile handicap, with 35 yards, beaten off in 58 sec.; December 1, quarter-mile handicap, with 5 yards, second in trial heat, won in 1 min. 1/2 sec, and also second in final heat, won in 59 3/4 sec.; December...
