...athletic sports Harvard seems to be suffering greatly by accidents. In the last issue of the Magenta mention was made of the serious injuries of two of our boating men. Since then, Mr. J. M. Sheahan, catcher of the Harvard Nine, has had the misfortune to break one of his fingers. This accident will incapacitate him for his position behind the bat, thereby very much weakening the Nine. Just at this time, above all others, is his loss most seriously felt...

...Oxford Undergraduates' Journal says: `It is with sincere pleasure that we are able to make mention of the many good classes taken last term in the schools by rowing men. Of those who have won their blue E. Giles took a first in Modern History, and F. H. Hall in Classics, J. E. Edwards-Moss a second in Law, and C. C. Knollys in Mathematics. F. E. Armitstead, also, whose aquatic reputation is surpassed by that of no blue, took a second in Classics. Several men who have rowed in the Trials took good classes, foremost among whom should...
