...that the Phi Beta Kappa should elect men on the basis of good work done in their Freshman years, on the ground that in succeeding years they might find order activities more absorbing, and thus fail to qualify for election under the present system. To some people it might almost seem that the present system is for this very reason better, since it requires a man to show that during two or more years he has the ability and the energy to do work of a high order. As a matter of fact, a man who has attained distinction...
Harvard defeated Andover yesterday afternoon at Andover 3 to 2. The game was well contested and the school boys almost tied the score in the ninth inning, but the favorable side of a close decision gave Harvard the last put out and the game. As usual the University team fielded in fine form but the base-running was poor and the men failed to hit at critical times. Harvard had men on second and third in the ninth inning with only one out and could not score...
...Later in the day Jones won the half-mile in 1 minute, 54 2-5 seconds, breaking the intercollegiate record of 1 minute, 56 seconds, made by E. B. Parsons of Yale in 1905. The running of T. S. Berna of Cornell in the two-mile was almost as wonderful, as he broke both the intercollegiate and collegiate records and established an American record of 9 minutes, 25 1-5 seconds. The former intercollegiate record for this event, 9 minutes, 27 3-5 seconds, was made by P. J. Taylor of Cornell in the Stadium two years ago. The other...

Hanavan passed Paull and tried to hold to Jones, but was unable to do so, finishing 20 yards behind. Paull still had a sprint left and almost succeeded in beating out the Michigan man at the finish. H. P. Lawless '13 ran a well timed race throughout, and in the last quarter went into fourth position, which he held, coming in 15 yards behind Paull. F. D. Everett '11 was seventh. The time for the last half-mile...
...University team could not locate Woodle's delivery and the best they could do was to get a man on first and second in the fourth inning. Aside from this, not a man reached second base. The Harvard batsmen hit into the air almost entirely, and 15 of them went out on fly balls. The Princeton fielders were lucky in pulling down several sky-scrapers which ordinarily would have gone for hits. Princeton started the scoring in the opening session. De Vito drew a pass and reached third when McLaughlin threw wild to first. White singled, scoring De Vito...
