...Dartmouth team was made up of R. P. Prichard '07, W. b. Evans '08, G. E. Shipley '08, and Captain W. Jennings '08, who are all fast runners. Of these Captain Jennings made the best time, doing his half-mile in about 2 minutes, 1 second. Shipley also made good time. The University team has not yet had the advantage of outside competition, but has developed consistently under Coaches Lathrop and Quinn. Some very creditable exhibitions were made in the handicap and class games...
...started out this year with a dubious outlook. Six of last year's exceptional team had left, including Odrain, their best pitcher. With only three yeterans in college, a team was gradually built up out of new material and is now developing rapidly. Their record this spring has been good, with victories over Trinity, 7-6, Wesleyan, 7-0, Georgetown, 1-0, and the strong Williams team, 11-8, while they have lost two games to Princeton's variable nine, 2-3 and 0-4. Last year Harvard lost both games to Holy Cross...

Townsend's "Deus ex Box Car" is marked by vivid and convincing description, and his picture of the brakeman and his wife and the happy-go-lucky youngster who "don't have to work" is skilfully drawn...
...Paris and Oenone," a remarkably successful attempt to treat a Greek theme in a Greek manner, even to the Introduction of a chorus. The verse is somewhat uneven, but the poem as a whole is well sustained and the handling of the chorus and the difficult stichomythia is unusually good. As a minor point it may be noted that the characterization of Paris as the "husband of Helen of Troy, mortally wounded by the arrow of Philoctetes" and of Oenone as "a demi-goddess--who can heal mortal wounds--and the love of Paris until he saw Helen" ought...
