...hand. Four hits, two of them triples, completed the total. Eight men struck out and only one reached first on balls. With the exception of MacLaughlin, whose eyes seemed to trouble him, the fielding of the University team was excellent. Simons made a beautiful one-hand stop of a high bounder, which was going over second, and threw to first, retiring the side in the third inning. He also accepted seven chances without an error. Aronson made a good running catch of Caldwell's line drive in the sixth inning close to the foul line...
...shut out the Cornell freshmen on Saturday afternoon on Soldiers Field by the score of 12 to 0. The Harvard battery, Ernst and Reeves, held Cornell safe at all times; Ernst allowed but five scattered hits and struck out seven men. Foster, the Cornell pitcher, was ineffective, but the high score was due in part to the erratic support given him by his team. Until the seventh inning the game was fairly close. The Freshmen secured two runs in the first inning on a series of stupid errors; two more runs were made, one in the fourth and the other...
...athletics and the social side of college life are equally as important. The main business of the college, however is in fixing a standard for men.

...Gymnasium, but what reader of the Illustrated would go near the Gymnasium! Kilpatrick's half-mile should scarcely be called a collegiate record. It was made in the international meet of 1895 when he ran for the New York A. C. And what bright has struck the high jump in these latter days? William Bird Page made his record of six feet, four inches more than a score of years ago. The Harvard record of six feet, two and one quarter inches was made by Fearing '93 in February, 1891, in the Irvington Street Armory. We believe that he jumped...
...more experienced runners against him, however, and although he ran by far the fastest race of his life, he was out-classed and only secured third. Captain W. M. Rand '09 scored in both hurdle races, winning 3 points. He defeated Talcott of Cornell for third place in the high hurdles and took fourth in the low hurdles. G. P. Gardner, Jr., '10 again pushed Howe of Yale to his limit in the low hurdles, and as in the dual games was beaten only by reason of the latter's wonderful strength at the finish. J. L. Barr '10 cleared...
