...slow and poorly played game the Freshman nine defeated Lynn Classical High School 8 to 5 on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. Neither team displayed good form, and it was only the excellent pitching of Harrison, who relieved Powel in the fourth inning, that saved the day for the Freshmen. The work of W. J. Murray also deserves special mention. In four trips to the plate he made three safe hits, and his work in the field was of the highest order...
Baseball players in the University have been disappointingly slow in organizing for the Leiter Cup series, which will be held this spring immediately after the recess. As vacation this year comes a week later than usual, it is necessary for the proper regulation of the series that the first games be played during the week after the recess.

Now we will see a purification and readjustment, slow to be sure by reason of an inevitable consequence of ill faith and suspicion, but tending ultimately to completer harmony than has existed in Europe for many years. The effects of the war, he said, are unlike those of any previous struggle in that it has affected not special classes of humanity...
...fifth annual Dartmouth Winter Carnival was concluded Saturday. The times made in the various races were comparatively slow -- better speed being made in the practice on Thursday. The main feature of the intercollegiate contest was the ski-jumping. R. C. Paulsen, of New Hampshire State, Friday's winner in the ski cross-country race, made an exhibition leap in which he turned a complete somersault in the air, finishing this feat in perfect form...
...University hockey team overwhelmingly defeated the Williams seven 9 to 1 in a slow, loosely-played contest at the Arena last evening. Williams showed little speed and almost no stick-work or team-play and at no stage of the game was really dangerous. On the other hand, the University did not show its usual form and there was practically no attempt at team-play. The entire squad with the exception of Clark, who is not yet in condition to play, took part in the contest...
