...should awaken enthusiasm for incorruptible and undefiled city government in the mind of every Harvard student. It is said that Philadelphia is suffering at present from an epidemic of corruption and jobbery in municipal affairs; that the governing "ring" is so strongly intrenched, it is well-nigh impossible and hopeless to dislodge its members. The task of exposure, however, has been undertaken.

There have been few pitchers under this year's rules who have been able to run their strike-outs into the double figures. Outside of Carter, the Yale team did not show itself any better than Harvard. When the infielders were given...
