Harvard has recently taken a very dignified position in regard to athletics, and a position which, in view of the absolute certainty with which we could predict sneers from hostile newspapers, was a courageous one. The existing football league, not seeming to afford auspices under which good square football could be played, Harvard withdrew. Our action appears all the more admirable when contrasted with Yale's hesitancy in taking what she has already committed herself to saying is a right step, This hesitancy is caused by the very factors that we scorned to fear, i. e., misrepresentation and abuse...
Finally, I believe that Ninety-three must take every possible chance to defeat Columbia next June. It is safe to predict that after their defeat last June, and in view of a possibility of a dual league between Harvard and Yale, the Columbia managers will make extra efforts to turn out a fast crew; and we have found that they can succeed pretty well when they try. We must assume then that the Columbia freshmen will be as skilful in the use of the oar as our men. Haw can Harvard win? There are two respects in which...
...annual base ball contest between the two greatest preparatory schools of New England, Phillips Academy, Andover, and Phillips Exeter Academy, will occur next Saturday. It impossible to predict the result of the game. The nines of both schools have undergone many changes since the beginning of the season, and neither are playing so good a game as the nines of these schools have played in recent years. Andover is handicapped by the inability of Stearns to pitch. If he were in his last year's form there would be little question of the result of the game but without...
...Athough from this summary it would appear that the chances of Yale's winning the cup are fair, yet it is rather early to predict with any degree of certainty. Sherrill, '89, ought to win both the one hundred and two hundred and twenty yard dashes, with Lee of Harvard, second in the former, and Moen, of Harvard second in the latter. Although Wells of Harvard won the quarter mile last year, and Dohm of Princewas third, it is thought that Dohm will win this year. Dohm also has a good chance for the half-mile, with Church of Pennsylvania...
...early now-in fact it usually is too early until the class races are half over, to predict the order in which the crews will finish. Eighty-nine is perhaps the favorite, but both Ninety and Ninety-one are looked upon as possible winners. Ninety-two is pretty generally expected to come in last, but the freshmen may have a surprise in store for the upper-classmen...
