...most important athletic events of the College year are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. The track team, needing one more victory to complete its claim to the nine-year cup, will try its strength against Yale, and the baseball nine meets Princeton in its first championship game.

It is perhaps too early to include the present Freshman class in this category, but its attitude toward the class team gives it a strong claim on this doubtful honor. All through the season there has been no apparent interest in the practice or games of the eleven, and last evening at the mass meeting less than one fourth of the class condescended to be present., Rumor has it that most of the class are planning...
