...sport attractive. Fencing is a sport which requires a professional fencing master, and the lessons and equipment cost each member of the team about $50 per season, which he pays out of his own pocket, for the Athletic Association pays nothing towards coach or equipment. Thus out of 30 odd original candidates but a dozen remained--simply because they could not or did not care to assume this expense, an expense the members of no other team are obliged to bear. It is, then, no longer a survival of the fittest, but of the longest pocket...
...facts of the complication are these: to accommodate the 6100 odd holders of season tickets and the 2200 holders of H. A. A. tickets, it was necessary to hold out fifteen sections of the Stadium, and so reserved seat tickets could only be issued for the remaining twenty-two sections. Of this number, thirteen sections, or something over 7500 seats, were placed at the disposal of the Dartmouth Association to be sold to Dartmouth men at Hanover. This left only nine sections to be sold to Harvard men, both graduates and undergraduates, with the result that the supply was exhausted...
...board chess match last evening the University team easily won from Brown by the score of 7 1-2 games to 1 1-2 in the Chess Club rooms, Grays 20. Harvard had white on the odd boards.

...undergraduate petition to the Faculty has already borne fruit in one way at least. This manifestation has come in the form of a public letter to the 1500 odd signers of the petition from a committee of the Faculty, asking some extremely pertinent questions as to the general feeling towards scholarship work. It is the endeavor of the committee to get the student's view-point on the question of rank, degrees with distinction, and the relative worth of scholarship as compared with other pursuits; and the information will be of great value...
...have been entered for the Leiter Cup baseball series, and twenty-six individual players, who have been assigned to teams 24 and 25. The games will begin tomorrow at 4 o'clock, and as many games will be played each day as there are available diamonds. Owing to the odd number of entries, a preliminary round will be played by teams chosen by lot, in order to reduce the number to sixteen. The first three games will be played tomorrow. The drawings for the preliminary round resulted as follows: team 13 vs. 25; team 3 vs. 16; team...
