...southern trip of the University baseball squad was very successful, in spite of three days of rainy weather. The two games that were played were well-earned victories, the University of Virginia being beaten, 1 to 0, and Georgetown, 2 to 1. The other game scheduled with Virginia was cancelled on account of rain. The squad arrived at Charlottesville, Virginia, last Sunday evening and was very comfortably provided for in a house close to the baseball field. Monday was clear and very warm, and practice was held both morning and afternoon. Another long practice was held Tuesday morning...

The boat seemed to space well between strokes, but did not go so smoothly when the stroke was high...

With the Freshman and University Musical Clubs and the Pierian Sodality, it ought to be possible to arrange for one or more of these concerts every week in the warm weather. Undesirable publicity could be avoided by holding them in some part of the Yard which could be closed except to members of the University, and we feel sure that the size of the attendance would well repay the performers for their trouble...

Wednesday and Friday, however, were about the best days for rowing so far this season. On Tuesday Hooper was given a try-out at No. 5 in the University crew, owing to the sickness of L. Withington, who was unable to row on account of a slight poisoning in the back of his hand. On Wednesday P. Withington went in at No. 5 and Hooper returned...
