...high and broad jumps Yale will have its innings to make up for the distance races. Deacon of Yale tied for fourth place in the Intercollegiates with a 6 foot 1 inch jump. But two weeks before in the dual meet with Princeton he cleared 6 feet 3 inches, equalling the meet record. Jones is Harvard's leading entry. Against Princeton he jumped 5 feet 8 3-4 inches, which is about his average height...
...statesmen, politicians who are not statesmen, journalists, authors, students, and sight-seers. As a spectacle alone this varied gathering is well worth looking at. But for anyone who is something more than a gaping tourist Geneva in September is far more than just another great sight. It offers a broad and fascinating experience to all who possess any interest in international affairs, be their special field politics, economics, medicine, education, manners and customs, or what-not.

...points in the Intercollegiates were gathered by one man, Norton. A first, second, and third count more for an individual college in an intercollegiate meet than they do in a dual meet. Whereas Harvard scored no one in either of the sprints at the Intercollegiates or in the broad jump, in the dual meet it should at least get three or four points in each of the sprints and one in the broad jump. Instead of the ratio between Harvard and Yale being 12 to one in these events as in the Intercollegiates, it will be something like...
