...perfection itself. A member of his delicate and chromatic runs, however, were lost to the auditor, being drowned by the din of the orchestra. The soloist richly deserved the encore he received. Dvorak's Rhapsody No. 1 is rather trivial in character and partakes somewhat of the characteristics of wild Scotch music. Considered as a light piece of music, its bold conception is admirable. Its principal motives were admirably brought out by the orchestra. The last number on the programme was Haydn's Oxford Symphony which was exceedingly delicately and conscientiously rendered. The beautiful quality of the strings was especially...
...Advocate is at hand. The opening poem, "The Desert Warrior," is a stirring war-song from the Arabic. It is smoothly and powerfully written, and there is a wild ring in the concise lines which adds double force to the warrior's savage and boastful song. "A Country Frolic" is a jolly life-like sketch, almost making one see the party at the "Forge." There would have been no diminution of the general effect of the sketch, if the conclusion had not contained the almost inevitable and common reference to a marriage. "Uncle Joe" is a sweet little story...
Princeton won the toss and chose the east goal, having the wind in her favor. Corbin dribbles to Beecher, who gains ten yards before being tackled. He loses the ball, however, and Ames regains the ten yards lost. A wild pass to Savage gives Yale fifteen yards, and ineffectual tries by Price and Ames force Princeton to her ten-yard line. Savage makes a magnificent punt to Yale's forty-yard line. Watkinson kicks, Ames returns the kick and Cook falls on the ball. Cowan takes the ball, five yards and Ames carries it to Yale's five yard line...
...Memorial table No. 3, and with difficulty overthrew them. Brilliant play, rapid running, rough tackling and generous gore distinguished the game throughout. Yale's tactics were closely followed, and the disabled strewed the field. Both teams were from '87. Time was called at half past eleven. In the first wild enthusiasm, G. W. Foster kicked a goal from the field, and Loud scored a touchdown. The Flubdubs, green with envy, secured in the second half two touchdowns by Russell and Mead, and a goal from the field by Russell. The composure of the Flubdubs throughout may be seen...
...again on our ten yard line. They worked the ball from there to within six feet of our line; but here Harvard got the ball and Porter kicked fair, giving Wesleyan the ball twenty yards from our goal. Holden got a fair catch and made rather a wild pass to Butler, who muffed the ball; Harding, however, got it. Porter got in a long kick up the field, which the full-back fumbled, and before he could recover himself, Holden caught him, and threw him heavily. There was another hole in our rush line just here, which gave Porter...
