Harvard is certainly beginning to look up in athletics, and the promise for a thoroughly successful season has not been better for several years. The two contests won by our teams on Saturday-one by the Track athletes at Philadelphia, and the other by the Baseball Team at Ithaca-were more satisfactory and encouraging than any that the CRIMSON has been able to record for a long time. In both the Harvard representatives outclassed strong opponents. These victories, coming directly after the winning of the shooting match with Princeton and the defeat of the Yale freshmen in debate, stirred up something like the old student enthusiasm and made a fitting climax to a very successful week. The victory over Cornell in baseball was most encouraging, coming as it did at a time when the confidence in the team was somewhat shaken. It is now generally felt that the Harvard Nine is a good one, and that if the standard of Saturday's playing is kept up, we shall yet win some of the big games, which are now almost here. This victory was needed to strengthen the flagging interest of the students, and restore their confidence.

It may be well here to say a word of congratulation to the members of the 'Varsity Crew. Their work during the last few weeks has been excellent. Their from is remarkably good, and they row with a snap, strength and precision that has not been equaled by a Harvard Crew since the defeat of Yale five years ago.
