...poor weather conditions this season having made it impossible to try out the crews satisfactorily, the outcome of the race is difficult to predict. The disbanding of the University third crew several weeks ago benefitted the Junior crew more than any other, and several men who otherwise would have been rowing in the first crew were dropped to the second. The Seniors have been rowing together in the same order for some time and have been showing steady improvement. Yesterday the first and second Sophomore crews rowed upstream together and in a fast stretch on the way back the second...
...Freshman baseball team defeated Stone's School in an exciting 12-inning game yesterday afternoon by the score of 4 to 3. Everts, who pitched the first four innings, had poor support, and Stone's scored three times in the third inning. In the fourth Captain Lanigan, who had been playing centre field, went into the box, and after that not a man passed first.

The closest match was between Dixon and Pearson, the latter winning the third set by the narrow margin of 8 games to 6. The playing of Captain Morse against Captain Richardson was especially brilliant, in spite of the stiff wind, which made accurate tennis most difficult...
...success in the highly artificial form he has chosen. It has clearly lyric quality. "The Racing Blood" of Mr. Husband opens most promisingly. The first two stanzas' description of the Greek foot-race and the Roman chariot race are full of speed, vigor and physical exhilaration; but the third stanza which attempted to trace the same racing instinct in the automobile race, and to give a moral twist to the whole is a woful breakdown. It is hardly believable that the man who composed the spirited opening lines...
