...chance to indulge in their favorite sport. At both Oxford and Cambridge the boat-houses are supplied with ordinary rowboats, and the students gladly avail themselves of the opportunity for exercise thus offered. Just now we are agitating the question of forming a canoe club. This will go far toward making aquatic exercise popular among our undergraduates, but if some provision could be made for the men who miss their accustomed work at the oar and yet are unable to procure a canoeing outfit, great good might be accomplished...
...Yale joke, or is it the "Yale method" of argument? We confess we have not given the subject of betting any prominence in considering this subject, and although we may speak "but of the heart," we are not aware that we have spoken "out of the pocket."

Some of the men certainly do need to show a little more life in moving from one bag to another. In all the champion nines of last year, the men were conspicuous for their swift base running. More, the men were carefully coached while on bases, from the time they reached first until they had crossed the home plate again. No chance to gain a point was allowed to escape the notice...
