...difficult to compare the work of the two nines since the first game as they have not played the same teams. The records seem to show that Princeton is the stronger. Princeton was beaten seven to three by Lafayette, and defeated the strong Cornell and Brown teams by the scores of 11 to 6, and 4 to 1, respectively. Before Princeton played Harvard, the latter was defeated by Lafayette 8 to 1, and by Cornell 8 to 5; since then by U. of P. by the score of 3 to 2. The only victories in fact have been over rather...
...Professor Trowbridge has just completed another still more powerful apparatus for the study of electrical force It is capable of producing sparks in air, resembling lightning flashes, of from six to seven feet in length. The discharge creates a sensation as if a window had suddenly been opened letting in a gust of wind, and sparks can be drawn from the brick walls of the room. Sparks closely resembling lightning discharges can be obtained thirty and forty feet in length through glass tubes in which the atmospheric pressure has been reduced to about two pounds and a half...
Though this year's team could not come up to last year's standard of seven victories and no defeats, considering the amount of absolutely green material the eleven succeeded remarkably well. While the team never failed to make good scores, its main strength lay in the bowlers and the fielders.

Carleton got the best batting average of the eleven, 17.7, and by the average...
...Freshmen took the lead in the latter part of the first inning, when both Milne and Clark were brought in by Jaynes's timely hit. In the third, however, three errors by 1901, two bases on balls, a three-base hit and two singles netted 1900 a total of seven runs. This lead the Freshmen were unable to overcome, although two more runs were secured in the fifth inning, when Whittemore and Jaynes scored on a mix-up of plays between Foster and Egbert. In the seventh, Egbert was hit by a pitched ball, and took second on Cropley...
...outcome of the game was due in a large measure to 1900's superior batting. Foster allowed the Freshmen only one hit throughout the game, struck out seven men, but gave ten bases on balls. The fielding of both teams was creditable, considering the heavy diamond and unfavorable weather. Cutting made a neat catch in the second inning of Kendall's fly, and in the eighth assisted Sargeant in the second double play of the game. For the Freshmen, Fincke and Putnam both played a strong fielding game...
