...steady game at second after his lay-off, accepting seven chances without a misplay. Harding livened the team up on first considerably, and, though he let a grounder get through him in the first inning, he made some clever pick-ups of low throws, and by a splendid one-hand catch in the ninth prevented Simons's high throw from being an error. At the bat he showed good form, securing a timely single, and a neat sacrifice. Leonard played a finished game on third, getting everything within reach, and in the eighth started a fast double play to McCall...
...Cornell crew lacked the dash and rhythm so necessary in a race over a short course; they appeared unable to maintain a high rate of stroke and hardly exceeded 30 to the minute after the first of the race.

Thousands of spectators witnessed the remarkable games, and watched the CRIMSON athletes win event after event with almost incredible rapidity.

It accepts the student co-operation most willingly, and will doubtless give the new council every opportunity to prove its worth as a factor in the situation. What promises to be a satisfactory solution seems near at hand--from an undergraduate point of view because there has been no abolition, and because we are ready to co-operate with the Athletic Committee in accepting such reductions as the Committee may deem necessary and harmless; from a Faculty point of view because the Committee has expressed no intention...
...crew's showing during the past few days has been encouraging on the whole, and the men have acquired better control of their slides. On the other hand, the boat has travelled poorly at times, and there seems to be some difficulty about steadying down after a racing start. There is still a tendency to clip the stroke and to slump at the finish...
