...eleven this year proved to be not without foundation, as is shown by the result of Saturday's game, in which she defeated Harvard '88 by the score of 14 to 6. The game was called at 3.10, Eighty-eight winning the toss and taking advantage of the slight wind. Fargo soon secured the ball and by a good rush carried it into Exeter's territory, where he was neatly stopped by Morrison. The advantage however was soon lost by Eighty-eight's poor passing and fumbling. Fargo again secured the ball but unluckily wrenched his ankle and was obliged...
Another cold day and the customary high wind which accompanies such a day was what the foot ball men had to play in. The game was played in two innings of 35 minutes each and was called at about half-past three. Williams had the wind blowing from the west and Harvard the kick-off. The elevens lined up as follows: Harvard rushers, Finney, Phillips, Brooks, Homans (centre), Gilman, Thayer and Hurd, '88; quarter-back, Benis; halfbacks, Willard, Kimball; fullback, Peabody. Williams-rushers, Blackmer, Jones, Blackington, Corse, Field, Banks and Bidwell; quarterback, Winslow: halfbacks Safford and Wells; fullback, Taft...

...second inning opened with the Harvard team at the west end of the field with a strong wind at their backs. Kent played halfback in place of Kimball, who took the place of Bemis. The Williams' snap-back made a rush of ten yards and in doing so was hurt. This necessitated a call of "time," which lasted a few minutes. The Williams men, however, could not stand against the wind nor could they kick well. The result was that several long kicks by Willard and Kent sent the ball within the 25 yard line. The ball was forced over...
...first field meeting of the club was held yesterday afternoon on the grounds of the Middlesex Sportsman's Club at Watertown. A worse time for shooting could hardly have been chosen, for the wind which swept across the grounds in chilly gusts imparted a velocity to the pigeons which rendered the attainment of satisfactory scores almost an impossibility. The ten members of the club who were present contested five events, with the following results...
