...incline to the opinion that Mann, of Princeton, was first on the diamond with it. Harvard's men have grounds for their belief, from the fact that the Harvard team first had a practical sight of the curve at Princeton in 1874, but as it did not have the effect of winning the game from them then, they regarded it more as a curiosity than anything of importance in the game. The fact was that Mann was so much excited about his new delivery that he did not know when to quit, and after the Harvard men had noticed that...
Last Thursday, it will be remembered, a notice was published in these columns asking all interested in shooting to meet in Holden Chapel to take steps toward the formation of a shooting club, and a notice to the same effect was posted in Memorial. In response to this call about 100 men came together and organized the club by electing officers, choosing a name and appointing committees.

Consequently, if a ball strikes the side of the racket, the racket turns and the ball bounds at a right angle to the line by which it came. This effect is heightened by a quick out ward swing of the hand, caused by the small development of the os lunare. The female arm differs from the male arm, also, in that the ulna of the female is much shorter proportionately than that of the male. On this account the female...
