BRIGHTER OUT OF OBSCURITY

The University baseball team and the Freshman crew share our congratulations for their victories over Princeton and Cornell on Saturday. The baseball team defeated Princeton for the first time since 1909 in a game which was remarkable for the consistent display of that brilliancy in all departments which have been in evidence only from time to time during the early part of the season. The convincing victory of the 1916 crew over the pupils of such a past-master in rowing instruction as Coach Courtney alleviates somewhat the disappointment rising from the loss of the varsity race. Both victories, coming at a depressing moment in the athletic situation, were of a character which encourages us to hope for success in the final and most important contests of the season.
