...intercollegiate run last fall, with the exception of P. R. Withington, captain of last year's team, are back in College. Captain Lawless, who, on account of sickness, was unable to run in last year's intercollegiate race, seems to be in the best of condition and should prove to be even better than he was in the race against Yale last fall when his work received very favorable comment by press and critics...
...afternoon. Parmenter, weighing 185 pounds and fast in charging, will play at centre where he won his letter last year. Unless something unusual happens, this will be his regular position during the season. Pennock, on Parmenter's right, played on the Freshman team last year and has yet to prove his value on the first eleven, though his work in practice has been good. Next to him is found a veteran in Hitchcock, who played a hard, smashing game last fall and is not below his best form this year. On his right is another 1915 man, Weatherhead...

G. Smith '13, manager...
...cent. of the captains of University baseball, football, and crew prior to 1905 are mentioned in Who's Who. and that this is slightly higher than the number of Phi Beta Kappa members so recorded for the same period. The author modestly admits that this does not prove very much. It certainly lacks a good deal of proving that athletes generally succeed better than scholars. Presumably the captains represent the very pick of all the teams. If all members of University teams and crews were compared with all Phi Beta Kappa men. it would give a fairer test...
