The baseball games which were scheduled for last Wednesday and Saturday with Ursinus and Trinity respectively had to be cancelled on account of the wet condition of the university field. Nevertheless the team has had two outdoor practices. At the first one, which took place Wednesday, no game was played but the second team took the field while the rest of the squad was given batting practice. The ground was too wet to allow fast playing. The fielding was good but the batting showed the great lack of practice from which the team is suffering.

The first university swimming contest was held on Tuesday evening in Brokaw Tank.

The 100 foot race was won by C. P. Ralli '08 in the exceptionally good time of 17 seconds, which was 1 1-2 seconds better than the time in the intercollegiate contest this year.
