...record of the Boston College nine now stands with six victories and eight defeats. This poor showing has not been due entirely to inferior team work or to lack of baseball ability, but chiefly to the extraordinary prowess of the nines which it has faced. They include Catholic University, Georgetown, the Red Sox and Tufts, all heavy-hitting clubs. In addition the team got away to a very poor start and dropped five straight games before it could get fully on its feet. Four out of its last five contests have resulted in victories, one of them being...
Holy Cross defeated Yale last Saturday 2 to 1. The team boasts a steady and reliable pitcher in Donnellan, a well-trained infield, and a trio of outfielders of more than average hitting prowess. Norton, the shortstop, is one of the most brilliant players in college baseball, while Bowen, in center field, has done the bulk of the nine's spectacular work...

The following Saturday brought forth a brand of football little better. "Watchful waiting," with Harte's interception of a forward pass in the last few minutes of play, gave Harvard a 7 to 0 victory over M. A. C. The same well-known policy proved lucrative...
...Previous to this year when C. E. Brickley '15 undertook the coaching of the team the recent seasons have been disastrous. Not a single victory was registered in 1913, and last year the season was broken up by the fatal injury of Layfield. An example of this year's prowess is the defeat last Saturday of Mount St. Mary's, who formerly held and often defeated Johns Hopkins, by the score...
