Earlier in the afternoon the Gore Hall crew which won the interdormitory championship on Monday will race Middlesex over the half mile straight away upstream, with the odds in favor of the visitors...
Professor Einstein himself admits that the "theory of relativity" for which he is most famous has not yet been definitely proved. Indeed, he has merely pointed out the fact that rays of light are deflected from a straight line by the gravitational field of the sun, a fact which can not be explained by the existing scientific laws, and which Einstein can explain only by a very intricate mathematical formula...
...teammate, Carver, won from Captain de Turenne, 4-6, 8-6, 6-2, in one of the hardest fought matches of the afternoon. Duane, who has been exhibiting a sensational brand of playing during the past week, took his match from Captain Cauldwell of the Engineers in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3; and Feibleman of the University team evened up the count by defeating Scott in straight sets...

On the home stretch Bardes began to creep away from the rest, and, fighting all the way, finally overhauled and passed Wharton a few yards from the tape...
