To review the record of athletic sports for the past year would be but to say, what we have already said, that either sloth or devotion to higher pursuits has taken away large numbers of the devotees of the race-course. The club races and the athletic sports have been universally acknowledged "fizzles." But while the contests among ourselves have not reflected as much credit upon us as usual, we seem more likely this year to carry away laurels from the contests before us with other colleges, than last year. Our Nine has already covered itself with glory, and has not yet been stopped in its victorious career. Success in the game with Yale on Monday will leave us, unquestionably, the winners of the base-ball championship. Of the success of our crew we can never be absolutely sure until the race is over. Diagonal lines will interfere with the best laid plans; but the work that the crew has done justifies us in feeling confident that if they are beaten, in a race rowed without accidents, their opponents will be a remarkable crew. We wish them, earnestly, every success, both at Springfield and Saratoga.
