...covered with soft matting, thus giving a field little smaller than the regulation size, and no harder than the turf. The ball will not be allowed to be kicked, and the game will be strictly a running one. The game will be between the regular University of Pennsylvania eleven and an amateur eleven known as the Rivertons, which will be strengthened by four well-known Princeton players-Hancock,'88, as quarter-back; Cowan, '88, and L. Price, '88, half-backs, and Ames, '90, full-back...
...years it rose to 2.69 for 1227 men. The record of 101 athletic students during the first decade was 2.55. The averages of the members of the various university teams were as follows: Crew, first decade, 2.56, second decade, 2.52. Nine, first decade, 2.59; second decade, 2.40.

The victory was a splendid one and the members of the team well deserve some token from the class. When we learn, therefore, that some men in the class, notably those...

Twenty years later another attempt at discovery was made by the French. America had no hand in the work until some eleven years ago Gen. Meredith Read, the United States Minister to Greece, interested himself in the matter. He was soon recalled from Athens, however, and it was not until two years ago that Americans became actively engaged in the matter. Then the prominence into which the American School of Athens brought all objects...
