...eleven defeated Amherst yesterday afternoon by a score of 18 to 0. Fumbles and carelessness at critical points in the game, partly due to the rain and the consequent muddy field, prevented a larger score. Much of the fumbling was due to carelessness, however, and the team was slow at the times when a little fast work was especially needed. The handling of punts was very accurate, the backs making no fumbles and usually succeeding in getting a good start before being downed. The most exciting feature of the game was Amherst's near approach to scoring...
...practice yesterday took place in a hard rain which made the field very slippery and difficult to play on. This was good for the team in that it gave the men experience in handling a wet ball, which may be of advantage in important games. For the first ten minutes of the game between the first and second elevens very little fumbling was done, but toward the end it seemed impossible for the backs to handle the ball cleanly. Both teams relied entirely on mass plays and punts, as end running was out of the question. The first team barely...

...University nine will play Georgetown on Soldiers Field tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. As the game scheduled to be played with Georgetown on the southern trip was prevented by rain, this will be the only Georgetown game this season. Last year Georgetown won both games from Harvard, the first 6 to 5 and the return game in Cambridge 9 to 5. Five of last year's team, including White, who pitched the second game last year, are again playing this season. The new men are the first and third basemen and two outfielders. In April Georgetown beat Yale twice...
...University of Pennsylvania won the intercollegiate track championship games which were held last Saturday at Columbia Field by scoring a total of 39 points. Princeton was second with 25; Yale third with 20.5; and Harvard fourth with 14. In spite of the rain and a heavy track, A. Grant of Pennsylvania broke his former record in the two mile run by covering the distance in 9m. 51 3-5s. This was the third record broken during the meet, the other two being made in the shot put and the hammer throw. A. C. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania made an individual...
