DR.. Smyth of Center church occupied the
| college pulpit yesterday.
Championship games this week are: HarA
| ward vs.. Princeton OF Princeton Wednesday
and Princeton VS.. Harvard at Cambridge
Saturday.
The nine will observe Memorial day by
playing Columbia at the Field. On Saturday
it plays Williams.
On Friday evening from s to 10 occurs the
annual reception of the Art school.
At the regular meeting of the faculty on
Thursday afternoon some action relating to
last weeks disturbances may be taken.
Stages work at Princeton Saturday was
surely phenomenal. Striking out twenty men
is certainly something unusual. He is pretty
efectually answering question that the pa
pers have frequently asked Of late.
The Harvard freshmen in town Saturday
evening adorned themselves with liberal dis
plays of crepe and took their defeat philo
sophically.
Princeton was a very damp place Saturday
and for that reason the championship game
between Yale and Princeton was postponed
to June 5, when it is hoped that it may be
played on the Polo grounds in New York.
That the crowd of spectators, including Mrs.
Cleveland, might not be disappointed an ex-
hibition game was played in which Yale won
quite handily by the score of 7-3. Although
the ball was wet, Stagg pitched wonderful
game, striking out twenty men, while Prince
ton made only two safe hits. Yale had her
batting clothes on and pounded Mercur for
thirteen hits. Every Yale man hit the ball,
McConkey leading with three hits. A feature
of the game was Calhoun's brilliant fielding
of a hit to right by which he threw out q man
at third!
The crimson went down again before the
blue on the Yale Field Saturday, when
the Harvard freshmen succumbed to
the Yale freshmen after they seemed
to have the game in their own hands.
The field was very wet and Harvard did not
want to play, while Yale was eager to play
under any conditions of weather. After Yale
had taken the field and Umpire Kelly had
addressed the crowd, stating the situation of
affairs, Harvard reluctantly consented to go
to the bat. For four innings she had things
all her own way, making two runs in the
first and five in the third. When Yale came
to the bat in the fifth things looked very
blue, with the score z to 0 in Harvsrd's ia
vor, but in this inning Yale found Luce,
the Harvard pitcher, and by timely hitting
aided by several Harvard errors piled up six
runs. In the SIKH she tied the score amidst
the widest demonstrations of joy on the part
of Yale '91. Harvard was demoralized and
her errors gave Yale another run in the
eighth. In the ninth Harvard again tied the
score on an error and hit, but Yale meant
business in her half of the inning. Two
errors by Crosby, the crimson left fielder,
Lvrhn 70 hod x.1a
excellent game, gave Yale the
winning run. 1t was made with no one out
and at time when the condition of affairs
promised several runs to Yale. Harvard did
not exhibit as good staying powers as her op-
ponents and in the latter part of the game
went to pieces: With the exception of the
third inning Dalzsll pitched q good game
and with better support would have been
pretty effective. Huntington played a great
game at second, accepting all of his eleven
chances. 1t was a queer though exciting
game and at its close scene of pandemoni-
um ensued. During the evening the freshmen
reposed on the coveted fence. The scere by
innings best illustrates the ups and downs of
this remarkable contest.

1t was bad day for Yale at Mott Haven
Saturday, for she lost the cup. No records
were beaten in this, the thirteenth annual
club. The tracks were in terrible condition
for the meeting. Out of fifteen track and
field events Harvard secured the first place
in seven, the second place in six and the
third in five. Yale's showing was good, but
not good snough-she had FIVE frsts two
seconds and four thirds. Columbia college
was third, but only got one first place and
two seconds. The bitterest pill Yale had to
swallow was the defeat by Harvard in the
final tug of-war. In the trials Harvard had
defeated Princeton and Columbia, and Yale
had pulled away with Swarthmore. Then
final. It was nip and tuck, but Harvard
won by three-quarters of an inch. The SUR
prise of the day was in the defeat of w.
Byrd Page, the champion high jumper of the
world, by I. D. Webster, of the Medical uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who cleared the bar
at feet II Is inches, while Mr.. Page failed
at that height. Page, however, still retains
the intercollegiate and worlds record. The
permanent custody of tho cup goes to the
college whose name appears upon the great
est number of shields at the expiration of the
period of the deed of gift The final award
is next year, and as Harvard has already
majority of victories to her credit she is sure
of the ownership of the cup eventually.
