...Editor of the "Sporting Column" of this paper offers a prize racket to the best individual player at Lawn Tennis in the College proper, i. e. in the four classes of the academic course. A tournament will be held on the first four days of next week, from 3 to 6 P. M., provided ten men enter. The entrance-fee will be fifty cents, which will go toward partly paying for the prize. An entry-book will be opened at Bartlett's, which will close at 12 M., Monday. The contestants will be drawn in pairs, and the winners...
...three-mile race shows. The times for all the test-races are found to be from 8 1/2 to 10 seconds too fast, as the course - which was laid out by guesswork - proved, on being surveyed after the races, to be 130 feet 9 inches short of the proper distance. Hence the exact speed of the crews over a course of the proper length can only be guessed at. Altogether the regatta cannot be called an unqualified success...
...notices posted in the Yard inform us that Class Day is coming, and that tickets can be obtained by Seniors, if they apply at the proper place at the proper time. But the Seniors do not seem to realize the importance of making timely preparation for the day, and of sending their invitations at an early date. We are therefore requested by the Class Day Committee to call their attention to the posters, and to urge them to avoid needless delays...
THERE has been a good deal of noise in the Yard during the last few evenings, - more than was necessary perhaps, and certainly more than was agreeable. We do not believe that the Yard is the proper place for select field meetings of the H. A. A., because the applause of the spectators is distracting to hard workers who wish to keep their windows open. We have no high opinion of the man who plays on his piano out of hours with a free use of the loud pedal, and we think no punishment severe enough for one who makes...
...School Athletes. - We see by yesterday's New York World that an athletic meeting is to be held at Mott Haven for school-boys only. Each boy entering must show a certificate of good standing signed by the master of his school. This scheme, properly carried out, should be a grand success, and will prove to be a long step in the right direction. If such schools as Exeter, St. Paul's, etc., would make more of a feature of athletic outdoor sports, - make it a part of the course, in fact, - and provide proper instructors in running, walking...
