...handicap race was recently decided near London, in which the handicap was by weight instead of the usual style. The weights ranged from thirty pounds downwards, and no stipulation was made as to the manner in which they should be carried, but the majority of the competitors carried them knapsack tashion across their backs. The new style was voted a success...
...game with Yale was not unexpected, and so we were not very much disappointed. On the whole, the season has closed, if not exactly satisfactorily, at least without any violently dashed hopes and expectations, and, except for the intervention of the athletic committee, in a very uneventful manner. Financially considered, also, the season has been successful, thanks to the large receipts at the polo grounds, so that we have not to bear debt as well as defeat.

Princeton tried hard to score and kept the ball close on Yale's goal nearly the whole three quarters...
...this, but wait until many months have passed, is a matter hard to understand. If their aim is to exact a more faithful attendance, surely it is easy to notify a man of the fact before he has completed the year in what is deemed an objectionable manner. Visting the sins of last year on the good intentions of this by a warning is obviously not altogether as useful a scheme as a notification last year would have been. If the faculty would only take the proverbial stitch in time, it would save the student the oss of taking...
