...others down to their own level. We think that the athletic spirit at Yale must be too sportsmanlike to allow the baseball games to fall through because Yale has, by her own deliberate action, weakened her teams and their chances of winning.

Marquand plainly had the best of this round and the bout was awarded to him. Grew used his left almost altogether; he got in only two of the hard, right arm swings that marked his sparring last year.
