...Freshman baseball team was defeated by Hotchkiss School on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon by the score of 1 to 0, in the last game of the season for both teams. On both sides the fielding was almost perfect, the Freshmen making the one error of the game. Brown's pitching for Hotchkiss was the feature of the game. He struck out sixteen men and allowed but one hit. Bartholf pitched a steady game for the Freshmen, striking out eleven men and allowing three hits...
...measure, the Triangle Club at Princeton stand for acting. It seems at the present time as if we had an opportunity at Harvard to combine the best talent in one organization where other interests than acting should count for little. Debating and public speaking organization has changed its form almost every year; its movements have been tempered to the outside demand for debates, and the Faculty courses in expression; the Dramatic Club has been closely affiliated with the English Department and has laid its stress on the discovery and encouragement of young authors. These two tendencies diverge, and acting...
...University lacrosse team was defeated by Toronto yesterday in the Stadium by the score of 5 to 0.

...second half, Toronto had pretty much its own way. Harvard's defence had weakened somewhat and Toronto's superior stick-work and team-play soon told. McSloy scored after a very pretty run on a pass from Hetherington and almost immediately afterwards the latter shot a goal on a pass from F. Hinds. A little later the ball went behind Harvard's goal; Hetherington recovered it and passed it to McSloy who was directly in front of the goal. McSloy scored easily. He also made the fifth goal for Toronto on a pass from Park...
...crew rowed in very good form in the second race. Harvard got the better of the start, but for the first third of the course, Georgetown was almost even with the second University crew. The Wanderers fell steadily behind. At the half distance, Harvard was leading by a few feet and though the crew lowered the stroke from 38 to 36, it gained steadily and finished about three-quarters of a length ahead...
