...Fogg, '85; C. A. Brown, '86; S. H. Blodgett, '84; D. W. Baxter, '83; and W. H. Cole, '86. Fogg started off at a rattling pace and was immediately cautioned by the referee. He got a good lead in the first lap which he was unable long to maintain, and he was passed on the 3d lap by Baxter and Brown. The latter took the lead from Baxter in the 4th lap, which he held till the finish, winning handily in 8 min. 59 sec. Baxter and Blodgett were almost even for second place but the judges gave the latter...
...refusal of the president of Yale College to come in with the presidents of the other colleges in the College Base Ball Association changes the aspect of affairs.

The attempt "to exert a controlling influence in politics" is, according to this correspondent, a highly reprehensible offence in a college man. "Politics," forsooth, belong entirely with the man of affairs, the "politician," and the man who is not biased...
...which the officers of the Harvard Athletic Association propose to adopt in a limited number of events in the coming fall athletic meeting, offers exceptional inducements for men desiring to compete yet fearing the overwhelming odds of defeat, to enter themselves for these events. If Harvard is to maintain her supremacy in general athletics for the future, it is certainly necessary, in view of the large athletic loss that the college sustained in the departure of the class of '82, that a large number of new entries be made this fall and next spring from the lower classes, and especially...
