It is planned to make these meets permanent, and their effect will be marked on the future work of the track team...
...skies are blue and all is fair, the Lampoon ball team will meet degrading death at the hands of the CRIMSON Clouters on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. While not over-confident, the news-gatherers are absolutely certain of victory...
