...others of a like nature, could center their activities in the Union under the proposed system. The unfortunate effects of the keen competition of these many societies are seen many times. For instance, on April 8, M. Leroux, the editor of the "Paris Matin" and one of the most brilliant men of France today, spoke at the Union. He was in America engaged on a special mission to President Wilson. On the same evening, Mayor Curley spoke in Emerson Hall under the auspices of the Speakers' Club. This was not due to any lack of efficiency in the system...
There are only two veterans in the line-up: Moore, formerly a shortstop, now at third base; and Spielman, a pitcher. Smith, first base, and Gilmore, catcher, played last year on the Freshman nine. Howard Berry, Pennsylvania's centrefielder, is a brilliant athlete, despite the fact that this is his first appearance on the diamond. Berry is famous as winner of every event in the recent Pentathlon competition held at the Penn. Relay Carnival, and as a football star...
...open events present as formidable an array of brilliant performers as the relay races. The pole-vault will have such vaulters as G. G. Haydock '16, Cary of Princeton, Newstetter, Foss of Cornell, Buck and Nagel of Yale. All these men have cleared 12 feet easily at meets during the winter.

The 100-yard dash will bring together the best sprinters in the country, among them E. A. Teschner '17, Treadway of Yale, and Moore of Princeton...

The game was not a gift from magnanimous professionals; the Crimson players simply played better ball. The offensive work of the two nines was about on a par, but in the work in the field the University was decidedly superior, playing without error and pulling off three sensational double plays, the last of which effectually nipped the Red Sox' ninth inning rally and ended the game...
...first ever held, was easily won by the University by a score of 30 to Dartmouth's 24, while M. I. T. failed to register a single point. An unfortunate injury to D. Campbell '17, who with the exception of Captain W. Campbell '16 was the University's most brilliant performer, handicapped the team to such an extent that it was only able to tie Amherst and lose to Brown. Beside these meets the team took part in exhibitions at the Cambridge Y. M. C. A., Watertown High School, Andover, Exeter, Boston...
