While rowing on the Quinnipiac river Friday afternoon, a short distance below the third railroad bridge, the boat of the Yale Freshmen ran on a submerged stake which broke a large hole in the bottom and caused the boat to sink immediately. The crew went on foot to the boat-house and returned in the barge to their shell which they towed down the river. The accident is similar to that which befel the sophomore crew this spring. The shell likewise is so badly injured that it will probably be useless...
...evidence of college feeling. There is a too well grounded feeling that the old cannon in the middle of the campus has seen far too few fires for victories of late years. Princeton seems to have started, and only started, back to a respectable showing in track athletics. The bottom was reached last year. This year one second, and a first, only won gloriously to be lost unaccountably, may prove a nest egg from which to hatch a cup some day. Princeton luck is inexplicable. We win and we lose, and no one knows...
...feeling between Harvard and Yale in the past is due in a great measure to the careful nourishing of the seeds of jealousy by outside influences, particularly by that of the daily public press. Careless reporting and "special" work done for the sake of filling "space" is at the bottom of the matter and we cannot but urge upon our older newspapers the great necessity of exercising a much more strict control over what is written for their columns about our large colleges. The spirit of gentlemanly emulation ought to be fostered, but a spirit of criticism and jealous carping...
...have taken a temporary boom, in view of the fact that the management have secured the huge skating rink for practice. The enthusiasts in this branch of sport, we are sorry to record, are mighty scarce in Princeton. Our record has degenerated, until now we are at the very bottom of the list of colleges. This fact, in addition to the cold water thrown on field sports by the supporters of base-ball and lacrosse, makes doubly difficult the effort to revivify the interest in the sport. We have no men of great promise, and if we do send...
...spanned by trusses, which serve, in addition to carrying the roof, to support the gymnastic apparatus, such as ladders, trapezes, rings, etc., besides the running track, which is suspended from them, and is twenty laps to the mile. The small rooms on this floor have ceilings level with the bottom of the running track, the space above being used to form belvideres or loggias, which are open to the outer air on the street, and on the court through colonnades. Each measures twenty by twenty-eight feet, and they are intended to be used as out-door rooms or piazzas...
