Next Monday the annual Intercollegiate tennis tournament takes place at New Haven. Harvard has always sent good men to contend for the championship of the colleges, and will, we think, make as good a fight this fall as in former years. Although the contest takes place in New Haven where our rivals from Yale and Trinity will have the encouragement that suppositories afford, still we have faith in the men the tennis association send out, and hope that the victory of last year may be repeated this fall...
...stands, Princeton is practically out of the race, having lost two games and gained but one. Thus our chief opponent is to be, as of old, Yale. We certainly have many reasons for self-congratulation at the result of yesterday's game; yet we must make a determmed fight before we can win the championship. Over confidence is a dangerous quality, and victory is assured by hard work, not by past glory. Harvard's weakest point yesterday was in batting. It was not until the last of the game that out nine at all succeeded in fathoming Princeton's pitching...
...points to be employed against Yale and Princeton, unless learning how to play base-ball in a scientific manner can be called a "trick." The Yale and Princeton nines play with professionals, and their playing shows the result of such training; we are simply influenced by the desire to fight upon an equal basis with our opponents.

Among other things, Mr. "X" says...
There is great interest felt in college at present in the fight the Prohibitionists are making against the saloon in Princeton. Many of the college men are taking an active part in it, and if prohibition is carried it will be in a great part due to the efforts of the college and seminary. Rev. Dr. Cuyler, of New York, delivered a lecture here last evening on "The Liquor Question and Drinking Usages," which has aroused great enthusiasm among the advocates of prohibition and will undoubtedly have a great influence on the election a week from...
...feather-weight sparring bout between E. W. Grew, '89, and P. Marquand, ,89, was the most interesting event of the day. Both men seemed to be in good condition, although Grew, perhaps, was trained down too fine. The first round began with very lively sparring, Marquand forcing the fight. He worked a great deal for Greew body while the latter confined his blows to Marquand's head. The round ended in Marquand's favor. In the second round Marquand forced the fight at first, but toward the end fought as the defensive and Grew did the forcing. Grew worked...
