INTERCOLLEGIATE FRESHMEN RACES.

Previous to 1880 a number of races were rowed by freshmen crews of the several universities and colleges, with six oars. In 1880 an agreement was entered into by Harvard and Columbia to row an eight-oared race annually at two miles straightaway. Subsequently, first Yale, then Cornell, and finally University of Pennsylvania were admitted to these races, and after 1885 each annual contest was between some two, three, or four of these five universities:

Football.

INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES OF 1901.

IN the absence of any recognized Intercollegiate Football Association the championship too often remains in doubt at the end of the season, but Harvard won a clear title to that honor in 1901 by winning every one of her twelve games. The final game against Yale was the biggest surprise of the year, for the New Haven team had already beaten Princeton by 12 to 0, and was a strong favorite over Harvard before the game. Yale is clearly entitled to second honors, but Princeton, West Point, and Cornell have all claims to next position.

A summary of the season's games of the leading teams follows:

In the Triangular Intercollegiate League, Williams beat Wesleyan 11 to 5 and Amherst 21 to 5, winning the championship, while Wesleyan beat Amherst 16 to 11 for second honors. West Point beat Annapolis in their annual game at Philadelphia, November 30, by 11 to 5.
