...athletics. With this move of the track management the crew will be the only one of the major teams left which derives its support in this way; and although we feel that the system should not be continued, the crew certainly has more claim upon it than any other sport because of large expenses and absence of gate receipts...
...success of the scrub hockey series bears witness to the increasing desire of the undergraduates to participate in intracollegiate athletics. Last year the Faculty deplored the great interest shown in intercollegiate sports to the exclusion of contests within the College, because the latter were less exacting and offered opportunities for exercise to a greater number of men than could play on the University teams.

The statement of the four major captains on another page, warning their men of probation and other evils, indicates not only a keen interest in the success of their teams but that they have a proper sense of the situation from the standpoint...
