...schedule Princeton and the University eight will compete in a two-mile race on Lake Carnegie on April 20. This is the first time in three years that the two crews have met. The last time was in 1913 when Princeton, Pennsylvania and the University held a triangular regatta in the Charles River Basin, which Princeton won, with the University second. There will be no race with Annapolis this year...
Aside from the interest attached to any major athletic contest with so formidable an opponent, the dual crew race on Lake Carnegie on April 20 brings Yale, Princeton, and Harvard a step nearer to a complete triangular system. With the remembrance of the University's defeat by Princeton in the Charles River Basin in 1913, the race will rank close to the fixed annual event in its importance.

The football and hockey schedules have for several years recognized Yale and Princeton as the vital opponents.

A striking instance of intellectual sincerity was afforded by the recent triangular debate on suffrage, in which nearly all the members of the Harvard team were converted to the affirmative, although it was the three negative teams which won. It may be recalled too, that President Wilson,--successful in public life,--was a leading debater at Princeton...

The first meet of the year will be held on March 4, when the University team will engage in a triangular contest with Dartmouth and Technology at Cambridge. The Intercollegiate meet will take place on March...
