...students that the proposed fall class races were too hastily determined upon, and that action was taken in the matter before it had been sufficiently discussed in all its bearing. Certain remarks let fall by those interested in foot-ball would seem to indicate that the scheme can hardly hope to meet with very hearty support from that quarter, while some of the men who are prominent in rowing affairs fail to exhibit any very enthusiastic appreciation of the new departure. The fact is that many valuable men will be kept from trying for the eleven, or, if class games...
...season advances the discussion of the annual fall tennis tournament again occupies the minds of the college players. The great success of the tournament which was held last year, leads us to hope this season for one of increased interest. Many of the best tennis players yet remain in college, while the freshman class presents several men who are already well known as players of exceptional ability.

We hope to find space in our columns at some time during the present week for a short account of the championship games...

Lopez in my opinion, was the first historical writer of the fifteenth century, and his account of the battle of Aljubarrata is surpassed by nothing known to me in the literature of the middle ages. I hope it will be deterre by some scholar, and that the Sunderland copy if it is really the work I am speaking of, may find its way into an American Library. The edition of 1644 is the editio princeps, and it has never been reprinted. It ought to command the price...
