...best individual records were made by Green, Morse and Grant. Green won both sprints in rather slow time, but he ran strongly and finished fast. Morse cleared the bar at 5 ft. 11 in., and won the low hurdles. Grant ran a beautiful race in both the half and the mile...
...College nine easily defeated the Freshmen Saturday afternoon on Soldiers Field in a listless nine-inning game by the score of 12 to 2. Both teams were rather weak in the box, but Galbraith's delivery, although slow, seemed to puzzle the Freshmen. The College nine secured a total of twelve hits, of which Farrington made four singles, Lewis three, Bertholf two, and Maguire, Ewer and Lane one apiece. For the Freshmen, Milne secured one two-base hit besides a single, Coolidge a double, while Fincke and Quincy each made a single...

Some changes were made in the order of the crew which...
...third, Litchfield, last year's substitute third baseman on the 'Varsity is the most promising candidate. He is a good fielder but only fair at the bat. Bergen, a Medical School man, is a hard hitter, but fields awkwardly and is slow in handling thrown balls. Clark, a Freshman and captain of the Groton School team last year, has proved himself a good batter and steady fielder. He is nevertheless very slow in getting the ball...
