This weeks issue of the Princeton
Alumni Weekly calls attention to the
victories in athletics of a week ago
last Saturday. Teams in three major
sports won from Harvard, Yale and
Cornell and the freshman nine was
victor. over the frstSear team from
Harvard. Mention is made of the fact
because it is the first time in a long
while that three of the Tigers major
sport teams have been able to take
the measure of three other big in
stitutions on the same day.
Yale and Harvard were defeated in
@ triangular track meet. Harvard was
beaten by 16 to 0 in base ball and
Cornelrs crew was trimmed in a race
on Lake Carnegie. Another thing that
causes such victories to rebound to
Princeton's credit is the fact that it
has probably not more than one-third
as many students as either of the in
stitutions 1t won from. 1t has been hit
harder proportionately by loss of stu
dents in war work, hut that 1t was
still able to produce athletic teams
of a caliber to accomplish what they
did is noteworthy, to say the least.

glorious way to cpd the season. and
there was much rejoicing on the
campus at the outcome of the con-
tests. 1t was all sport for sports
sake; 1t was clean-cut competition
between men who were participating
for the pure joy of testing their skill
and their strength in friendly COM

no Princeton man made a throw far
enough even to give him a place.

sigh and wish for De Witt.
