...principal topic of interest in the university at present is the baseball outlook. Yale's victory over Princeton last Saturday was due so largely to chance that success for the rest of the series does not seem to be assured.

The weather was so bad in the afternoon that Mr. Lehmann sent the boat back to the float after an hour's work. A run was substituted for the rest of the practice up the West Shore track for about a mile...
