Musical Notes.

Professor Baldwin's fourth lecture on "Musical Progress" concerned itself with Early Instrumental Music, and its development was traced from Frescobaldi to Bach.

The Sunday organ recitals have grown most popular with the music lovers of this neighborhood and indeed, those of the whole city. Large and appreciative audiences throng the Great Hall each week. A regular recital will be given this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and among the principal numbers are Faulke's Concert Prelude and Fugue, Rheinberger's Seventh Sonata and Rossini's wellknown Overture to William Tell.

ATHLETICS.

Inter-Class Track Meet.

The field events of the inter-class track meet were held in the gymnasium on Friday afternoon. 1913 accumulated 13 points, 1912, 11 points, and 1911, 7 points. The victory banner will go to 1912 whose aggregate points are 42; 1913 came in second with a score of 19; 1911 reached 15; and 1910 came in a gallant fourth with no points to its credit. The summaries : High Jump (Handicap): Won by Kieran '12-5 ft. 3 in. (6 in.); second, Rekersdres '11-5 ft. 2 in. (4 in.); third, Baron '12-5 ft. 1 in (4 in.)

Broad Jump (Handicap); Won by Levy '12—19 ft. (16 in.); second, Ginsburg '13-18 ft. 8 in. (15 in.) third, Meier '13-18 ft. 7% in. (10 in.)

Shot Put (Handicap): Won by Deller '13-35 ft. 8 in. (2 ft.); second, Propper '11—34 ft. 9 in. (2 ft.); third, Rekersdres, '11—34 ft. 6 in. (14 in.)

Fresh-Soph Meet.

This Friday the Freshmen and Sophomores will have the opportunity of vindicating themselves after last Wednesday's undecided conflict. It seems that athletic is far preferable to fisticuff rivalry. To promote the former, the regular annual Fresh-Soph track meet has been scheduled. Entries, for which no fee will be charged, must be filed by Thursday at 4 o'clock. The requisites are paid-up membership in both class and A. A. and a medical certificate from Dr. Storey. The contests will be in the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash, 880 yard run, and mile run. There will be no field events. This meet is one of the three contests for the Student Council "Victory" banner, and the winning class will be accredited with five points.

In leaving baseball, it might be apropos to recall the adage that a bat in the hand is worth two in the eye.

Ira Kaplan, '10, and Montefiore Judelsohn, '11, have been elected manager and assistant manager, respectively, of the Track Team.

Lacrosse.

The banner offered by M. Rosenblatt, '06 has been
accepted and the inter-class series is to begin shortly.
Contestants must be paid up members, as usual, of class
and A. A. Following is the schedule as completed by
Acting Manager Acker and Coach Rosenblatt:

Friday,
Non-appearance of any team at any scheduled game
will mean forfeiture for the delinquents. In cases of in-
clement weather, Wednesday games will be postponed
to Thursday, and Friday games to Monday.

Gym Team.

No nonentity this year is the Gym Team. It's going
to be a live factor in athletics. The Athletic Associa-
tion, in deciding to give moral and financial support to
Manager Lutzky's team, has sanctioned its enrolment
in the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Gymnasts
of America. Our Indian phenomenon on the team has
just, to the delight of Coach Palmer, developed a feat
that has never before been attempted by any college
gymnast.

Soccer.

A renaissance is taking place. The almost forgotten
and long deserted sport of Soccer is being advocated
now as a permanent feature of College athletics. A
Becker '12 has managed to get a petition to this end
signed by fifty men. We hope he meets with success
in this project; and we trust the A. A. will give the
sport its sanction.

noons.

Basketball.

At last! The interclass basketball series is a reality. It has been decided that all but the final game will be played between one and four o'clock on Saturday after"Official Collegiate B. B. Rules" will govern the decisions of the referees who are to be members of the varsity team. The classes with the greatest percentage at the end of the series are to play the final game. Following is the schedule:

A Freshman Football Team will be supported by the A. A. provided four-fifths of the 1913 Class enroll as members of the Association. 1913 will, in such a case, bear the distinction of having the first regular Freshman Football Team.

November 24.

The Athletic Managers of the Class of 1911 have completed arrangements for a track meet closed to members of the class. The 1911 track team of last year was a winner; witness, the two banners won from 1912 which were recently hung in the Junior alcoves. But to the sorrow of the class as well as the College, many of that championship team have left our midst. The prowess of 1911 has been consequently impaired as was shown by the track meet of last Friday. Now, in the hopes of drawing out latent athletic talent and reestablishing their former supremacy, the class has decided to conduct this closed meet. The only requirements are that competitors must be bona fide and paid up members of the A. A. and of the class. Valuable prizes will be given which will be paid for out of the entry fees of ten cents per event. The events are:100 yard handicap, 300 yard novice, 880 yard handicap, mile and a half handicap, high jump handicap, and shot-put handicap (12lbs.).

What the Rush Teaches.

No 6

ROM last week's Flag Rush, the College in general, and the Student Council in particular, should learn some indisputable facts. These are: first, that fist-fighting is bound to result at all such conflicts; second, that no pole of ordinary dimensions can withstand the combined pressure of hundreds of muscular students. From this it follows that injuries of more or less seriousness

must accompany every flagrush if managed as at present, and also, that neither side can ever be fairly judged victorious. This is not only true of last week's combat but also of its predecessors. Obviously, therefore, at contest which must be indecisive, and yet cannot be free from rowdyism, is undesirable from every standpoint. The Student Council should devise some other means of measuring the relative strength and spirit of Sophs and Freshmen; some contest that it might be able to conduct without, at the same time, placing the official sanction of the College upon punching and kicking.
