...been induced by the opinions expressed by certain graduates who witnessed the last time row of the crew before it left Cambridge. The idea appears to have arisen from the manifest lack of life which has been the characteristic fault of the crew throughout the latter part of the season. At the outset, the material and prospects were remarkable; the crew in its early stages seemed to be further advanced than last year's eight.

...Pennsylvania State team is expected to make a good showing. It has defeated Michigan, 9 to 7, and Annapolis, 9 to 3. In the early part of the season, however, it was defeated by the score of 5 to 4 in its game with Brown...

Since the amount taken up in gate-receipts at games played by the hockey team on Soldiers Field during the past season alone amounted to $418, most of which came from undergraduates, it is apparent that its inclusion would provide a substantial inducement to purchasers. A similar result would follow from the inclusion of other sports. This reasoning has been tested in connection with track meets: the Graduate Treasurer of the Athletic...
