...close of the meeting of the Associated Harvard Clubs, Mr. Eliot started on a short trip through the Middle West. Today he will deliver the Phi Beta Kappa address at the University of Missouri, at Columbia, Mo. He will return almost immediately to Cambridge, arriving here day after tomorrow...
...time of 9 minutes, 27 3-5 seconds, is not only a new I. C. A. A. A. A. and collegiate record, but is the best amateur performance ever made in America. The former record was 9 minutes, 34 4.5 seconds, made by Rowe of Michigan in 1907. Almost as wonderful was the time made by Paull of Pennsylvania in the one-mile run. He set a new I. C. A. A. A.

Very fast time is expected in both the distance runs. Jaques of Harvard and Paull of Pennsylvania have been unbeatable all the year and if they come together in the mile a new record is likely to result. McGee of Princeton is almost in the same class. May, Tower, and West, all of Michigan, are consistently fast runners and one of them is likely to take fourth place away from Coney of Yale. Jaques will probably not run in the two-mile, and it is not likely that Paull will be able to win from Dull of Michigan after running...
...extend our heartiest congratulations to the first Harvard baseball team that has defeated Princeton at Princeton in thirteen years. Against opponents that had the advantage of playing on their own grounds before enthusiastic partisans, the University nine scored a victory almost as decisive as the shutout at Cambridge. The fact that Princeton was able to score only one run in both games, as compared with Harvard's ten, is convincing evidence of the relative strength of the two teams...
...companion piece. "The Importance of Being a Sport," by H. E. Porter, remind us of one of the best Advocate periods,--some fifteen years ago, when Mr. Flandran and his contemporaries were describing Harvard Types." But with this difference today the dissecting of the victim seems kindlier; the sareasm almost genral...
