LETTER BOX,
To the Editor of the FREE LANCE:
Beginning the year with the additional large
endowment of $160,000, the effect is felt in every
department, and everything seems to have received
a new impetus.
On account of the inclement weather the fall
Tennis Tournament was not as much of a success
as those of former years. But many promising
players were conspicuous among the new men.
The nineteenth field meeting of the Athletic
Association will be held before the end of the
month, on Whittierfield. Good results are ex
pected from the Freshmen, but on account of foot
ball, little training has been indulged in by any of
our athletes.
Enthusiasm in foot-ball is at high-water mark.
At the opening of the season our team was very
strong and the chances for the state championship
were excellent; but, unfortunately, two of the
best and oldest players on the team, Cummins
and Harvey, half-back and cennter-rush, were
compelled to stop playing on account of injuries.
This irreparable loss has greatlyweakened the team,
and likewise our chances for the championship.
"Pearl and Maroon" have been abolished and
Garnet has taken their place as Swarthmore's
colors.

TD Editors of FREE LANCE :
Greeting. With the close of last year came the
news that our honored President, Dr. McCauley,
had resigned, and our hearts were filled with appre
hensions for the future ; but this year opened with
brighter prospects than ever.
Dr. Himes, who is widely known in Scientific
circles, is our acting President, and under his
wise direction, the crisis has been avoided.
'92 has about 4o men and '9l has about the
same number. There is much good material
among our new corners both in scholarship and
athletics.
Our Preparatory School is large and gives
promise of a good '93.
We lost some of our best foot-ball players last
year, yet we have a team in training which we
hope will surpass its predecessors.
Our boys had a recent contest with the members
of the Indian School. We took the .too yds. dash,
running broad-jump, running high-jump, hurdle
race, and throwing the hammer, while the Indians
took the mile-run, putting the shot, and tug-of-war.
In the tug-of-war we had Goo lbs. while the Indi
ans had over 650 lbs.
Lawn Tennis has become. very popular during
the last year.
