...Comparison of these figures with those of last year's Freshman class shows a sharp increase this year in the number specializing in history and in mathematics, history having climbed from fourth place with 41 to third with 66, and mathematics from eighth place with 19 to sixth with...

To cap the early part of the season and to make up for the poor playing in the Springfield contest, the team staged a spectacular and well-played victory over Princeton Saturday. A fair idea of the team's record to date may be gathered from the comparison of the total number of runs made by the University and its opponents.

...held inside of the Stadium Saturday and the spectators will be given a chance to watch the Westerners, who are practically in a class by themselves in this event.

...comparison of the relative strength of these three teams can be made from the fact that Hobart defeated the Oxford-Cambridge team by the score of 8 to 3, while Syracuse lost, 5 to 2. The Hobart aggregation is reported to be one of the best collegiate teams in the country. Last year, it was runner-up to Syracuse for the championship of the League. This year, Hobart has a great many veterans from last year's team, and is considered a probable contender for the championship...
