Harvard track teams in general have been successful since college track athletics came into prominence in the early '80's. The first Mott Haven Cup was brought to Cambridge twelve years ago and is now in the Trophy Room at the Hemenway Gymnasium, and the first dual cup presented by Harvard and Yale graduates in 1890 to become the possession of the college winning a majority of meets in nine years, may be seen in the same room. The records show that at present Harvard stands an even chance of winning the second Mott Haven cup, as they credit Harvard...
...superiority on the track by defeating Yale three times, and last year by winning the Mott Haven games. There seems to be no logical reason why Harvard track teams should not more than hold their own in the future. The successes of the last five years were not brought about in a haphazard way; they were not "lucky" successes, but the result of careful study and experimenting.

The prevailing characteristic which was noticed in this team, was the assistance lent by one man to another and the way in which the team stood together. This, coupled with the magnificent physical condition of the men, indicates a high mark...
...material in my judgment has always been about the same, the quantity of candidates from which the team is selected, making it pretty safe that a first class eleven could be brought out each year. There is no space to mention the individual merits of the players or of the coaches, but there has been a harmonious pulling together of all the coaches and players of previous years, each one coming out in the autumn and helping along the new system with a spirit that commands admiration. I believe Harvard to be more faithful in the corps of coaches with...
