...over the mythical championship starts, the head-start of these two teams will without doubt be of value. Penn State's string of ten straight victories is undeniably a real achievement, and in spite of the fact that a number of the nines defeated are not on the top rung of college baseball teams, such respectable teams as Navy and Georgetown are included on the list. However, Penn State's first real opposition will not come till May 11 when it meets the fast-moving Tigers...
This anomaly, however, is easily explained by considering certain subsidiary features of the two political systems. In the United States, for example, the political curses honorum might be likened to a tall laddor which the politician, starting ordinarily at the bottom ascends rung by rung.

At present, Pennsylvania and Princeton are the two contestants for the league championship; Penn having to defeat Haverford before it can meet the Tiger eleven. This game should be an easy victory for the Penn team, on the strength of past performances, but in case of an unexpected defeat, Princeton will win the intercollegiate title...
...game long. Finley, who played at left and during the second half, made the stellar catch of a toss from Buell--for all the world like the Felton-Casey heave against Yale last year, both in execution, and in the selfsame part of the field. Thrice Finley nipped end rung in the bud for losses of five or six yards a throw...
