Princeton's only tally came in the next inning after Mahan had walked Law and Thompson. With two down Tibbott singled to center and Coolidge was unable to get the ball back in time to catch Law at the plate. Another rally in the eighth, however, almost succeeded in evening up the count. Lee led off with a pretty triple to left field which rolled way past Knowles. Tibbott was out on a ground ball to short. Then Hoyt smashed what looked to be a clean hi through the pitcher's box, but by a brilliant stop Mahan managed...
Banking houses, almost more than any other business concern, need college-trained men, and a practical course in banking is a valuable asset to any man. Professor Anderson's Economics 3 is an excellent supplement to practical work, but by itself cannot be of as much value as actual experience in a city bank. And if New York banks find it to their advantage to go to New Haven for new men, might not Boston banking houses find it equally profitable to investigate Harvard undergraduates...

That Mr. Walker contemplates several performances of this rollicking, jovial, and wholly delightful comedy, brought back from that almost forgotten time of Christ's College, Cambridge (1575), during the coming Portmanteau tour is a matter for congratulation and there will be many who will wish to see it, partly for the memories it will revive and partly for the opportunity to see just what sort of an evening's entertainment...
