...data from which to make a comparison of the rival crews, the University is slightly the favorite in view of its victory over Princeton and the Blue's defeat at the hands of the Quaker oarsmen. This advantage, however, would seem to be balanced by the Crimson's lack of experienced men, none of the crew being veterans, in contrast to the Elis, who have three of last year's first boat entered in the race today, Hyatt, Mead and Vail. Statistics of the oarsmen show that the University outweighs the Eli eight pounds...
Handicapped by an insufficient number of entries and a lack of regular training the University track team went down to a thorough defeat at the hands of Yale and Princeton in the triangular meet at New Haven Saturday. The Tiger team won over the Elis by the narrow margin of 49 1-3 to 41 2-3 points, while the Crimson team scored only 13 points, more than half of which were due to one man, A. Stevens '19, who took first place in the hammer throw and second in the shot...

...team has no entries in the broad jump or high jump and only one in the pole vault, J. J. Albright '19. This weakness because of lack of field event men will probably count heavily against the University next Saturday, for in the meet with Technology two weeks ago, the main University point-winners were field event men and not one first place was gained in the runs or dashes...
...college man is at all times troubled by a lack of time and money. Many students are always ready to contribute to any worthy cause. More, however, find it easier to leave it to the family or to plead off because of lack of funds. The difficulty of reaching the undergraduate's pocketbook has become proverbial, and human nature has not changed. The demands of the present week, however, must necessarily pierce the armor-plate of every man's private exchequer...
