WITH the first number of this volume the editors of the Crimson beg to announce to their readers the introduction of a column devoted exclusively to amateur sports. The need of some short abstract of sporting news has long been felt by many men who have not the time to wade weekly through several papers like the Spirit of the Times, who yet desire to keep up with the athletic world at home and abroad.
