to be entirely the reverse. Princeton's heavy rushers broke through so quickly upon Harvard's backs that they could neither run nor kick, and when the game ended the score was 12 to 4 in Princeton's favor. No excuses need be offered. Harvard was undoubtedly outplayed. The fact, however, remains, that rainy weather, with a slippery field, is acknowledged to be most favorable to a heavy eleven with beefy rushers, and most unfavorable to a light, active eleven with exceptionally light half-backs.

The course was two miles on the Charles River from the Union Boat Club to Longwood bridge. In the first mile B. A. A. drew away, but after that Harvard's superior training told, and the gap began to close. In an exciting finish B. A. A. won by ten feet. The following composed the two

crews.

W. M. Scudder, '99, defeated H. J. Holt, '98, and A. Ingraham, '96, in the final round of the doubles. "Push Ball" is the name of an amusing game introduced in College this fall. It was invented at the Newton Athletic Club, where a team was formed. The ball used is of leather, six feet in diameter, and filled with air. The object is to push it into the opponents' territory and across their goal line. Eight men form the teams on each side. The first exhibition game was played between the halves of the football game with Brown. The scores of the Intercollegiate Shoot held at Princeton, Nov. 1, were Princeton, 120; Harvard, 116; Yale, 98. Capt.

HARVARD CLUBS.

CHICAGO.

The annual meeting of the Club for the election of officers and other business will be held at the University Club, Chicago, on Tuesday evening, Dec. 10, 1895.

John A. Walz, who held the postgraduate scholarship of the Harvard Club of Chicago at Harvard during the year 1894-95, has been awarded the same scholarship for the year 1895-96.

Wm. C. Boyden, '86.

NEW YORK CITY.

One of the pleasantest incidents in the history of the Club was the reception given on Monday evening, Oct. 7, to the members of the Athletic Team from the University of Cambridge, England. The Cambridge men had just finished their period of training for the contests with Yale, which took place on the Saturday preceding our reception. They came to us at the beginning of a week of sight-seeing and enjoyment. Harvard men naturally took a very great interest and pride in the visit of the representatives of the English university where John Harvard studied; and several hundred men were gathered together in the club-house when the guests arrived. The members of

the Yale team, too, had kindly accepted our invitations to be present, and they too were warmly welcomed.

The Committee in charge of the reception very wisely took pains to avoid any formality, and that was greatly appreciated by the visitors. In the absence of Mr. J. C. Carter, '50, President of the Club, the Vicepresident, Mr. H. S. Van Duzer, '75, extended a welcome on behalf of the Club, and expressed the pleasure that it gave to Harvard men to meet and greet the men from Cambridge and the men from New Haven. Capt. Horan, of Cambridge, and Capt. Sheldon, of Yale, replied for their respective teams. That ended the speechmaking; and for the rest of the evening there was jolly singing, much enthusiastic cheering (including cheers for Oxford), and a general commingling and fraternizing of Cambridge, Yale, and Harvard men.

When, near Inidnight, the visitors left us, a crowd of Harvard men, hatless and enthusiastic, marched to the station and cheered the Englishmen as the latter were carried away by the train for Boston, where they were to be the guests of the Harvard undergraduates.

RHODE ISLAND. The Club had its annual dinner at

the New Cliffs Hotel, Newport, on Sept. 6. There were about twenty guests and members present, the former consisting of Gov. Lippitt, exSenator Edmunds, of Vermont, Prof. Sloane, of Princeton, Judge Green, of Pennsylvania, F. C. Bass, D. D., A. O. D. Taylor, and W. K. Brice, '95. The party was somewhat delayed in sitting down to dinner by the business meeting preceding it. The election of officers resulted as follows: Pres., Dr. G. L. Collins, m '79, Providence; vice-pres., Dr. H. G. Mackaye, '78, Newport; sec., J. P. Farnsworth, '81, Providence; treas., Dr. Frederick Bradley, d '86, Newport; cor. sec., Dr. G. T. Swarts, m '79, Providence; poet, Rev. G. W. Cutler, Newport; librarian, Dr. H. R. Storer, '50, Newport. A committee was appointed on a university house, as last year, though there is little prospect of much being done. Gov. Lippitt, Senator Edmunds, Prof. Sloane, Judge Green, and others responded to the usual Club toasts.

SEATTLE.

At the semiannual meeting held Sept. 14, eighteen members were present. The following new members were elected: Frederick Bausman, L. S., '83, G. M. Paschall, l '69, M. P. Stafford, '66, J. T. Nichols, '84. The following officers were elected: Pres., C. T. Tyler, '74; vice-pres., Prof. Mark Bailey, Jr., '90; sec. and treas., H. F. Meserve, '88. Resolutions upon the death of George H. Heilbron were passed, and copies ordered to be sent to his widow and to the Secretary of the Class of '83. Among other guests, the club entertained Dr. Mark W. Harrington, the new president of the University of Washington.

George E. Wright, '89.

ST. LOUIS.

The Club has been quiet during the summer, but with the approach of winter resumes its normal activity. At the annual meeting held at the University Club last winter, the old officers were reëlected. The attendance at our annual dinners, which are also our annual meetings, is increasing from year to year, and shows a very gratifying growth of Harvard influence in St. Louis. It was decided to institute an information committee, who were to keep on the lookout for boys who were to enter college, give them information about Harvard, and act in general as a recruiting corps. This committee has kept in touch as far as possible with parents of boys about to enter college, and has distributed considerable printed matter. At the initiative of the Harvard Club last May a "University Smoker" was held at which about one hundred men representing many universities were present. This meeting was a decided success in bringing together college graduates residing in St. Louis, and it is expected to hold one or two more of these University meetings during the coming winter.
