During the week ending May 14, there were thirty-eight cricket matches played between the various colleges of the university of Oxford.

The Lampoon comes out today. This number contains a very realistic picture of the celebration on May 19th. The whole number is very good.

Holmes, '84, caught in the Yale nine in its game against Princeton, Souther, the regular catcher, being temporarily disabled from an injury received at Amherst.

Yale was defeated easily by Princeton at lacrosse on Saturday, by a score of three goals to one. This leaves Princeton the championship for the year 1884.

Columbia will play Brown at base-ball today, in Brooklyn. The result ought to show how the Columbia nine compares with the inter-collegiate nines.

In the Beacon-Yale game on Saturday, the Yale nine were unable to hit Nichols at all. No wild pitches were made and no bases given on balls. There is a championship game on Jarvis field with Yale on June 21st.

The standing of the college nines shows Harvard still at the head as far as games won is reckoned, but Yale leads in per cent. won. Princeton and Dartmouth are fighting hard for the last place. Amherst; Yale and Harvard have each a good chance to win in the end, while it looks as if Brown was booked for the fourth place:

Games won. Games lost To play.

Harvard. 5 2 3

Yale. 4 1 5

Amherst. 4 2 4

Brown. 3 3 4

Dartmouth. 1 4 5

Princeton. 1 6 3

The game with Yale on June 21st will probably be a very decisive game with both nines. Provided Yale and Harvard win all the remaining games, Yale at that time will have nine games won and one lost, Harvard eight games won two lost. If Harvard should win, the colleges will be tied for first place, and the deciding game will have to be played on neutral grounds. If Yale should lose one game of the remaining four, the game on the 21st will decide the championship. Harvard, by losing one of her Dartmouth games, will be "tied" with Amherst for second place, provided Amherst loses but one game. There are numerous combinations in all of which the game on June 21st will prove a deciding game.
