Not that you are always funny, you are not; but you are the funniest we know, and we must remember that even the father of Life may occasionally grow weary and prose a bit. Comparisons, however, are out of order: Lampy has the advantage of age, the earlier start and consequently must be nearer the sparkling fountain of youth.

The meet was most remarkable, however, in that every event furnished a genuine contest in which each man entered brought to bear his last bit of strength and will-power. It was nip and tuck all the way with now Yale, now Harvard leading in the total of points scored. A Yale victory was not assured until Cornell broke the tape in the final heat of the 220-yard dash which was the last event...
