Twenty-five teams have entered in the Leiter Cup baseball series. This large number deserves a word of comment, for it shows a lively and increasing interest in intramural sport which does not demand too assiduous attendance. This interest is in striking contrast to the miserable support received by the class crews, which for a couple of weeks after they were called out could scarcely boast eight men apiece. The explanation of this discrepancy is clear: daily rowing--and attendance at this must be regular--involves considerable drudgery; while scrub baseball, in games and practice alike, is good fun.

It is unfortunate that there is not enough interest in the sport to make keen the competition for places on the upper class crews, but it is disgraceful that members of any crew should refuse to row because the regular make-up of the boat is incomplete. Of course, this reluctance to row with the crew broken up is not, as the writer of the communication supposes, from "a certain athletic snobbishness," but because it is hard work to row with...
...accommodate about 150 students, and having between them a common dining room and smoking room. In every dormitory the price of suites will vary so that the present difficulty of rich and poor sections will be eliminated. Each dormitory will have its own teams in all branches of sport and these will compete against each other...
