The baseball team returned last Tuesday from its annual Southern trip, which was fairly successful. Out of the five games played, three were won and two lost, both of the latter being close scores. The scores made were as follows: Princeton 2, Virginia 1; Washington American League 2, Princeton 0; Princeton 3, Annapolis 1; Princeton 4, Georgetown 1; Georgetown 3, Princeton 2. Last Wednesday the university team defeated Lafayette by the score of 9 to 1, and on Saturday defeated Cornell at Ithaca by the score of 3 to 1. The game was marked by heavy hitting. Reid knocked a home run in the sixth inning and Harlan made a three-base hit in the eight, when two men were on bases.
The swimming team defeated the Yale team Saturday night, in Brokaw Tank, by the score of 41 points to 23, the water soccer game, which was played, resulted in a tie. This was the first swimming meet in which a university team has been entered, and the result was very encouraging, as the Yale team proved its superiority over several of the Western colleges during the Easter recess.
On Saturday evening final trials were held to select a team to debate with Yale, on May 18. R. B. Fosdick P.G., K. W. McEwen 1906, and T. S. Clark 1909 were chosen. Both McEwen and Clark were on the team which competed against Harvard last December. Princeton will defend the affirmative of the question: "Resolved. That the bachelor's degree should be required for admission to any Law School controlled by a University."
The University Triangle Club completed its Western trip last Thursday. This was the most extensive trip, which the organization has ever attempted, and performances were given in Indianapolis, St. Louis and Louisville. The play "Tabasco Land" was well received. A special performance will be given in the Casino next Thursday for the benefit of those rendered destitute by the disaster at San Francisco.
The tenth annual interscholastic games were held on University Field on Saturday afternoon. Mercersburg Academy won the meet with a total of 45 points, Hill School came second with 36 points, and Lawrenceville third with 21 points. No records were made in the field events, but very fast time was made in the runs, four Princeton interscholastic records were broken and one equalled.
