...outcome of the engagement was in doubt until the eighth inning, when the upperclassmen pushed across four runs. Evans and Fischer were safe on two fielders' choices. Hallowell walked, filling the bases. Gross was hit by the pitcher, forcing in the first score, and a second was made when McCouch was passed. Gammack's timely single scored Hallowell and Gross with the final runs of the game. Triples by J. T. Baldwin '21 and T. H. Gammack '20, and a double by H. P. King '21, were the only extrabase hits of the contest...

Hopeless as such theoretical perfection may be, there can nevertheless be no doubt that universities are falling short of what may reasonably be expected of them. With the end of those initial out-pourings of men, they have failed to keep pace with the increased energies of the remainder of the nation's life...
...doubt that it is good financing to pay for a war, or for anything else in the world, out of current revenues as nearly as possible in distinction from bonded indebtednesses. Debt is a millstone around the neck of a nation. Fortunate are the people who pay as they go. To keep as near that ideal as possible should be the desideratum of all statesmanship. Our enemies, who commonly belittle our activities, should at least know that, stupendous as has been our war preparation, we are paying an unprecedented fraction of it out of current taxation.
