Yale's pronounced victory in the intercollegiate games, Saturday, was somewhat unexpected, a much smaller number of points being scattered among the lesser colleges than was looked for. The captain of next year's team was not elected immediately after the games, as the usual custom is, owing to the absence of the men. It is thought that the office will go to Thompson, the hurdler and jumper, or S. K. Gerard, the sprinter.

Much enthusiasm was aroused by the Harvard-Princeton game Saturday, large crowds surrounding the bulletin board, and the general wish seemed to be that Harvard would win. Brown's victory over Yale, on the same afternoon, was most depressing after the nine's recent good showing and seems to throw a cloud over our chances for the remainder of the series with Princeton. Murphy as catcher is a pronounced success and effectively steadies the whole nine.

Some preparations are being made to give the crew a good send-off when they leave the Campus, Friday, on their trip to Henley. They will row on the harbor till the day of departure and will continue some form of exercise on the steamer, where arrangements have been made for a special training table.

The defeat of the freshman nine by Princeton '99 on Saturday was somewhat unexpected and leaves the series undecided, as but two games were arranged for. The '99 crew, though, are making good progress and approaching form for the race with Wisconsin on June 18.
