...have been unmistakable signs of slackness in the college routine, for instance, in the preparation of the annual study cards for the Committee on Electives. With barely a week left ninety-four per cent of the undergraduates have shirked this simple duty. In itself a minor matter, such a record today has a fateful significance. It indicates a curious lack of perspective, and, worse still, a lack of self-control--precisely what the critics have asserted...
Although it is doubtful whether Yale will enter a team, many other universities, including Princeton and Pennsylvania, will be represented. W. H. Meanix '19, who holds the world's record of 54 3-5 seconds over the three-foot timbers in the 440-yard hurdles, is favored to win this event Friday, and Teschner and Moore will probably place well in the sprints...

Throughout every contest on their schedule the University team displayed a more finished brand of fencing than has been the case in past seasons...
Captain Russell was, of course, the mainstay of the team, although he was tied for third place in the individual rating in the championship meet by E. R. Gay '19. Gay also had a creditable record for the year, being the only man in the intercollegiate tournament to defeat Captain Jeter of the Navy, who won the championship...
