...Freshman baseball team defeated the Pilgrims in a well-contested game Saturday afternoon by the score of 4 to 0. The visitors secured eight hits to the Freshmen's five; but their inability to bunch hits at the proper time, together with the superior team-work of the Freshmen, accounted for the lack of runs. The Pilgrims came closest to scoring in the second inning, when Minot took first on a fielder's choice, was advanced to second by a sacrifice, but was touched out at the plate by Brickley in an attempt to score on Carlisle's single. Each...
...Sargent found that the private school men were in every way superior physically to public school men. In average height and weight, which are taken in the mass as a fair indication of potential strength and energy, the private school men were markedly superior. Furthermore, the ordinary method of "strength test" revealed the same results. Considering the medium tests, we find that the public school man registered on the average 630 points, while the private school man secured a total of 700. Thus it is obvious from these examinations that when considering the physical side of education, the preparatory school...

...intercollegiate schedule from Haverford, last year's champion, by a score of 2 to 0. The University team has as yet no games to its credit, having tied one and lost two. Its opponents in these practice games, however, have all been mill teams of a calibre probably superior to that of any intercollegiate teams. Harvard's showing, therefore, has not been entirely unsatisfactory...
...under such different conditions, there has been much interest taken in regard to the result of tonight's contest. As a game in itself it promises quite as good an exhibition of hockey as any game played this year in the Arena. To be sure Harvard is superficially the superior owing to its remarkable showing against McGill and Princeton. Yet any one who has ever seen a contest between Harvard and Yale in any sport realizes that the game will be hardfought and brilliant, and that neither side can go into the contest with any overconfidence...
