WITH VARYING SUCCESS.

The athletic events of Saturday present results of varying aspects. The severe loss to Yale in both track meets, the defeat by Cornell for the lacrosse championship, the defeat by Pennsylvania at baseball, what with several other equally unhappy results, will, of course, cause decided disappointment in the ranks. Little more can be said on that score. That the lacrosse defeat was caused in a large measure by the necessity for depriving the team of the services of one of its strongest men because he had been breaking training is more than lamentable. That man, negligent because he had already won his letter, lost the University a championship by reason of the loss of playing power and general demoralization resulting. Fortunately the other defeats were free from any blights; the baseball one was to be expected, for a team playing under the strain of upholding a record of successive victories is always liable to a sudden slump; track was half expected, and the performance of many of the men was worthy of congratulation.

On the other hand the no less than wonderful performance of "Crew B" in the Henley must be singled out; and the final success of the golf team over Cornell after three tie matches together with the victory of the second baseball team over Groton are reassuring. Despite the fact that things broke badly in a number of events all on the same day we can look forward to the rest of the season with confidence that there will be a few tables turned by June.--Not at all forgetting to congratulate the Phi Beta tossers on the occasion of their first victory over Yale since the series has been running!
