Moran and Burnett are the most effective of the Virginia batters, although Pettaway, the big left-fielder, has a swing which is good for a home run when it connects. Either Harrison or Taylor will start on the mound today for the visitors. The former, although tired by the pitching duel which he fought out with Kelly at Yale on Thursday, is new to the University batters; Taylor, on the other hand, who pitched in the first game, has an out curve which the University batters were beginning to get on to before the game was called.

While two page papers swing the pendulum too far the opposite way, still, the removal of the many extraneous sections and supplements which triple and quadruple the normal size of our journals would be a blessing. American publishers might well follow, in spirit at least, the example of Rome, for the combined conservation both of the forests and our mentality...

...margin of Dartmouth's victory--six points,--shows in itself the value of strong "field support" to a team. It was a good solid number of seconds and thirds that gave the Green their lead. Those same points will be waiting, in future meets, to swing the balance toward victory; and Harvard can win them. But to do so she must have the active assistance of every man who has the slightest possibilities as a competitor on track or field...
