...years 1885-86 and 1886-87. These statistics were compiled with the greatest of care by the athletic committee, and are therefore as accurate and trustworthy as any statistics on such a subject can be. In nearly every case the standing of students on the university crew, nine, eleven, Mott Haven and lacrosse teams is largely above the average standing of the entire class. There are several instances in which men on university teams have obtained an exceedingly high rank, and many have received scholarships. It is only with respect to the athletics of the freshman classes that the standard...
...beneficial effect upon the scholarship of men here. From the first table in the report which shows the college rank of the university teams in 1885-86, it appears that the average percentage of the four college teams was 72. That of the crew was 69, the Mott Haven team 72, the nine 74, the lacrosse team 76. Only one of these 56 men had a mark of less than 40 per cent., while a member of the nine lead the list with 92 per cent. The average percentage of the freshman class in that year was 69; that...
...cent. The class eleven had 60 per cent, the nine 62, the crew 67, and the lacrosse team 71. The average percentage of the class of '87 was 76. The average mark of the seniors in the university crew and nine, and in the football, lacrosse and Mott Haven teams was 75 per cent. The lowest mark received was 65 per cent., while seven men were awarded Commencement parts, and one received honors...
...necessarily always bad. Although, properly speaking, it is a fall sport, yet I think that runs could be held to great advantage in the spring. These runs, providing that the H. A. A. saw fit, would doubtless be a benefit to the long-distance runners of the Mott Haven team. Of course the H. A. A. is all-powerful in taking the initiative in this branch of athletics, but as has been suggested, in case the H. A. A. would not undertake to hold some runs this spring, it would, I think, be profitable to organize a Hare and Hounds...
During the past year, many new laurels have been won, in almost every branch of record athletics, by members of the various athletic clubs. The colleges have held their own at every contest in which they have been represented, and, although at the Mott Haven meeting last May comparatively few records were broken, the account of the work that was done during the summer, at home and abroad, by college athletes, will have a prominent place in the annals of athletic sports. The leading athletic clubs have divided themselves into two associations, the National Amateur Athletic Association...
