...aggregate of twelve hits would seem to indicate consistently heavy hitting, but Charles, the Carlisle pitcher, was undoubtedly one of the least effective men whom the nine has faced this year. Several times, however, opportune hits were made.--notably in the fifth when Matthews drove a three-base hit to centre field with three men on bases; and in the eighth when Bolton brought in the last three runs with a long home run hit. The general listlessness of the team was furthermore explemplified by the slowness of the batters in getting to the plate in their turns...
These two exhibitions present opportunities not to be missed by anyone interested in athletics or in physical development. The two Japanese who will demonstrate the art are among the most expert in Japan, and the art itself is so wonderful as to seem miraculous. I hope any one that feels interested will come forward, and ask how it feels, for without the least danger--the Jiujitsu men are very careful--he will experience a great sensation. JOHN F. PRBKINS...
...reduce the debt on the Stadium and gradually to reclaim the whole of Soldiers Field is an admirable one, but if the ground available for sport is to be increased at the cost of extinguishing many of the teams that would play on that ground, doesn't it seem that it might be better to go a little slower on the improvements, and let the growth of diversified athletic interests keep pace with the growth of available playing grounds?

The chances of victory seem to favor the Exeter Academy team which defeated Andover in a dual meet last Saturday by 62 2-3 to 32 1-3 points. New interscholastic records will probably be made by Annin of Exeter, in the 100-yard dash, by Bullock of Andover, in the 220-yard hurdles...
...lack of it, on the part of either team's supporters, would be decidedly depressing to that team. In fact it would be a distinct handicap to a Harvard team to abandon cheering, unless the opposing team could also be convinced to give it up. Moreover, it does not seem to me to matter much, if there is some artificiality in the present method of cheering. After all, the spirit is there and the manner of expression is of slight importance. The meetings in the Union may seem to be a studied effort to awaken enthusiasm, but if they serve...
