...University baseball schedule was announced last night. It contains 23 games including provisional games in case of ties with Princeton and Yale. This is four less than the number of games last year. No games will be played before the spring recess, the first game in Cambridge being on April...
...games. The most noticeable feature is the attempt of the management to detract as little as possible from the "scholarly interests" of the undergraduates. The number of mid-week games in Cambridge during term time has been reduced 25 per cent, because these contests caused absences from lectures. One less trip will be taken, and the total number of games will be three or four less than it was last year.

But when over 125 men take part in a minor sport series after a particularly interesting year of intercollegiate contests, this attitude seems to be unfounded. Scrub basketball, dormitory track and rowing, and Leiter Cup baseball...
