...jumps and weights Harvard is weak, although Berglund. Captain Dunker and Jones may be able to collect some stray points. Men like Went-worth of Colby in the 35-pound weight. Norton of Georgetown, in the high jump and shot put, and Bowen of Cornell, a record breaker in both weights last Saturday, will probably clean up in those events...

The Crown Prince, breaker of precedents, loved his Princess, but he had to battle for her with Prince Yamagata, the most formidable of the Elder Statesmen-a fact which increased his popularity with the people...
