Only a few more days remain before the freshman ball game with Yale. In spite of this fact, however, our freshmen do not seem to realize the work which is before them. Their game on Saturday certainly did not show that they had a full sense of what they must do; and their practice yesterday was equally disappointing. The college does not, however, in spite of these untoward circumstances, look forward to a defeat from Yale '94. It expects its representatives to play a game of which they may be proud; and a game which will bring victory. The college...
...spite of the many reports that the Yale crew is in a bad way, there seems to be little doubt that the men have improved very rapidly lately and have gained much from the coaching which, during the Easter recess, Captain Bob Cook gave them at Philadelphia...
...Easter trip of the Yale and Princeton nines was largely spoiled by bad weather. The Yale team beat the Manhattan Athletic Club in New York, Wednesday, by a score of 15 to 0, in a tolerably well played game. In spite of the indications of the score, Yale's batting was extremely weak. On Saturday Yale beat the New Havens 6 to 1 in a well played game. Neither of the games with the Philadelphias were played. Bad weather prevented Princeton also from playing at Philadelphia. On Friday Princeton beat Williams 7 to 2 in a game in which Young...
...light weight wrestling (under 140 lbs.) was the next event for which J. L. Dodge '91 and S. Paine L. S., were the contestants. In spite of the fact the he had boxed a short while before, Dodge appeared to be much stronger. The first round was very lively and both men rushed frequently but time was called without a fall. The second round was much the same as the first. In the third Dodge rushed and catching Paine by leg and neck lifted him from the floor and threw him on his back, thus getting a fall and winning...
...varsity crew rowed on the river Saturday afternoon in spite of the fact that the stiff wind made the water very rough. The boat was made up as follows: Stroke, Captain Perkins; 7, Kelton '93; 6, Vail '93; 5, Rantoul '92; 4. Powers '92; 3, Shaw '94; 2, Lynam M. S.; bow, Jones '92. C. F. Adams sat in the coxswain seat and coached the crew. Newell '94 has returned to college and is again training with the crew. On Saturday he and Watriss '92 went out in the pair-oar with Cobb '94 for coxswain. After a while Adams...
