 yale- Harvard baseball series when both events were conceded to the Crimson. And in tennis, a sport in which Harvard has been supreme, the Crimson team could only split even with Princeton, and R. Norris Will Hams. the national amateur champion, lost. his series of matches against Church, the Princeton player, after he had already defeated Maurice Mc- Loughlin at Newport for the cham pionship title.
 Harvard won the intercollegiate football title decisiyely, with Dart mouth being awarded second place. In baseball. the highest honors were left 1 suspended in the air when the liar ward team failed to live up to it's repu- tation and lest to Yale in the final series of the year.
