...Boston Latin School on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. In practice during the last week the Freshmen have shown weakness in batting and in base running. In a practice game with the Second nine on Monday they seemed to lack life and were apt to be caught napping...
...fastest time for Harvard. On the back stretch by a remarkable spurt he passed Hunter of Yale and maintained the lead to the end, finishing about four yards ahead of the Yale man. This lead was increased by Rust, the fourth relay, to eight yards. Long of Yale caught up with him on the back stretch and the two came round the turn together. About thirty-five yards from the tape Rust by a supreme effort forged gradually ahead and won by about three yards. The times made by each Harvard man follow: Schick, 50 1-5s.; Lightner...
