This afternoon at Yale Field, New Haven, the Crimson and Blue cross bats in the initial set-to of their annual series. Both nines have, during the past week, turned in excellent exhibitions of ball playing; Yale, through high-class pitching, spectacular fielding and wide-awake work on the bases, shut out Princeton Saturday, 1-0. Twice last week the University blanked strong opponents, Felton and Goode twirling gilt-edged ball, and the team as a whole appearing to carry a powerful punch. Comparative scores denote little in collegiate baseball circles; and if they were employed in sizing up today...
...purpose of the meeting is to determine how far the reconstruction of college athletics will go, and to what extent the whole system will be built up. Plans will be discussed as to the development of athletics on a modified scale, with the purpose in view of giving as high-class football as there was before the war, and still maintain a less lavish standard.

...pole-vault will have such vaulters as G. G. Haydock '16, Cary of Princeton, Newstetter, Foss of Cornell, Buck and Nagel of Yale. All these men have cleared 12 feet easily at meets during the winter. Newstetter and Foss vaulted 12 feet 10 inches last year. With such high-class performers, competition should be spirited. The 100-yard dash will bring together the best sprinters in the country, among them E. A. Teschner '17, Treadway of Yale, and Moore of Princeton...
