...intercollegiate race, and its baseball team stands a good chance of winning the championship in the class games. Friday night will show what the class can do in debating, and from what has been said by the men who are training the speakers, it is likely to distinguish itself here also.

...game was played on the main floor of the Gymnasium, twenty-four men taking part, twelve on each side. To distinguish one another the men on one side wore blue handkerchiefs on their heads while the men on the other side wore red handkerchiefs.
