Seniors Favor Tennis and Golf Over Football--Swimming Also Popular--Republicans Have 72 Per Cent Following

The minority of the major sports in the favor of members of the Senior class is revealed by statistics compiled from the questionnaires sent out to all members of the class.

Football, baseball, and rowing succumb alike to the hordes that swarm the links and courts. Tennis is revealed to be the favorite sport of 23 per cent of the class, topping by a comfortable margin football, which is favored by only 11 per cent. Football is also superseded in popularity by golf, which, favored by 12 per cent, triumphs by the narrow margin of one point.

One of the most surprising revelations is the large number of Seniors who pronounce swimming to be their favorite sport. Nine per cent of the class declared for swimming. This figure, ranking swimming as fourth, is greater than baseball, track, rowing, basketball, or squash. Trailing swimming by one per cent, squash holds fifth place, closely followed by baseball with seven per cent, track six, and rowing four.

The Senior class is predominantly Republican in its political allegiance, it was revealed by the figures. No less than 72 per cent support the Grand Old Party, giving it thereby a 59 point lead over the Democrats, who ranked a far second with 13 per cent. The Liberals have third place with seven per cent, leading the rest of the field by a comfortable margin.

A fairly general declaration in favor of better swimming facilities was the feature of the answer to the question. "What advantages do you think you ought to have found at Harvard which you have failed to find?" One facetious Senior wails. "I shouldn't have flunked out," while another replies. "Exclusive use of a fast roadster."
