...Lampoon editor cracked a smile and lost the contest. The flying hyphen was nearly won by Miss Prints '10, of the Radcliffe Ruffian, who out of courtesy, was invited to enter. The officials won the keg-emptying contest in a walk and a short walk at that. Great credit is due the business management of the CRIMSON for supplying the daily's representatives with Frog's Verifine Hops before the hurdle holocaust. The pole-vault was omitted because an Advocate editor lost the key to the vault. The 100-yard dash was one by a splendid burst of profanity...
...University team had sixteen hits to their credit. It was the first real exhibition of batting the men have given and without the help of Exeter's wretched fielding, which contributed enough runs to win several games, they hit the ball hard enough to win. Captain Dexter, McCall, and Slater led the list with three safe hits apiece. Slater was too much for his opponents and was never in a tight place...

In the field, his only chance was a hard drive by McClure in the sixth, close to the foul line, which he got after a long run.

They have seven victories to their credit, including games from the University of Virginia 4-3, Annapolis 8-2, Georgetown 4-3, Tufts 9-4, and one defeat at the hands of Andover yesterday, 5-4. In Captain Skillen they have an expert pitcher, who has been invariably effective against his opponents. Last year, when Dartmouth won from Harvard...
