...April weather conditions favored their returning to the river and this they did, holding regular practice until they went down to race the Princeton oarsmen in the Easter vacation. In one of the closest races seen in this country, as Professor Noyes put it: "A most extraordinary race," they lost by 6 inches. The result of this contest was to cause quite a radical shift in the crew. T. E. Stebbins '17, who had been at number five, came right out of the boat, as did K. B. G. Parson '16, at number two. They were both dropped...
...hold Brown in check, and the Providence college had the pleasure of seeing an 8 to 1 atonement for the first game and for its defeat at home in 1915. Pitcher Young, of Williams, had two bad innings at the start of the game on June 1, and lost by a 2 to 0 score in a contest which was otherwise very close. On Saturday, the Tigers came to town and left after having lost the series by losing, 5 to 1 to Mahan, who struck out nine, and kept Princeton's six hits well scattered. The University touched...

...action of the committee, as Dean Briggs phrased it, is "highly commendable." Strictly honorable methods are frequently lost sight of, particularly among school teams. And it is with just these teams that the "Football Code" is likely to have the greatest effect. If schoolboy players learn that unfair methods are discountenanced by lovers of the game, if they are taught clean and honest tactics instead of questionable ones, there will be less abuse on the part of "outsiders," more honesty on the part of those who play, and a higher standard in the game itself...
