...most important reasons for the failure of the track team to win a meet, however, was that too few men reported for fall and winter work. As a result, a large number who should have done good work in the spring were ineffective. Track coaches are almost unanimous in saying that what serious faults a man has at the beginning of the spring will hinder him in all the meets of that year. Spring work must be devoted to improving a man's physical condition, while the fall and winter work should give him the technical training in his event...
...first time since 1904 Harvard and Holy Cross met on the gridiron last Saturday afternoon, the final score being 8 to 0. On the whole the game was uninteresting from the start, there being only occasional flashes of good football. The opposing team threatened to score only once, when, almost before the Harvard ends realized the danger, Holy Cross had executed the forward pass, carrying the ball to the 15-yard line.

The trouble with dormitory crews from a rowing standpoint is that men who really know something about rowing are in the same boats with the totally inexperienced. In the past these crews have worked for almost a month before the races, and then it was so late that there was naturally little enthusiasm in starting up the entirely new series of graded crews. Now in the graded crews, men of like rowing ability row together, and progress is consequently much faster. By shortening the dormitory crew...
