...winning of points one year gives ground for expectation, the 1910 team should be a well-balanced one, with least strength in the broad jump and hammer-throw. Foster's remarkable development under Coach Donovan promises another sprinter of Schick's reliability, and Blumer, Watson, Cummin and Billings provide second string material in the two dashes. Blumer, Kelley, Merrihew, and deSelding have all shown much ability in the 440-yard dash, and the first two at least should improve. D. P. Ranney '12, winner of this event in the meet with the Yale freshmen, will be a valuable...
...Coach Quinn's methods with the field event men have been so uniformly successful that he may be depended on to turn out several point winners. Another season should see great improvement in Lawrence, and Barker, Mueller, Dennis, and Wheelwright are developing for the high jump. Barr will again be the mainstay in the pole-vault, with no other candidate showing anything like the same ability. For the broad jump, Long, Dillingham, and Winward are the most promising, as Little will probably confine himself to the shot-put. In this event he is an almost certain winner, and Goddard...
...play their last home game against Yale should provide sufficient inspiration, but there are other and more substantial reasons for expecting much of the team. The men work well together and they all know baseball, They have been well taught and they have been infused with the right spirit.

...racing start was tried which went very well, but this crew also lacked the good form which it showed in the morning. The University four rowed down to the railroad bridge and back over the two-mile course to the Navy Yard, being timed by Coxswain King, as Coach Wray was following the other crews in the launch. The time was 13 minutes and 21 seconds, which is considered very fair as the crew rowed against a strong tide. No racing starts were tried, the men averaging about 30 strokes to the minute all the way. The Freshman four practiced...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 20, 1909.--Late last evening Coach Wray sent the University eight in its new order over the four-mile course on time. The crew covered the distance up-stream, under fair conditions, in 21 minutes, 37 seconds. No attempt at speed was made throughout the course, the object being to get the new order well together, to try Cutler out at stroke, and to see if Withington was fit for the distance. The stroke was kept at 30 except for the third half-mile, when it was raised to 31. At the finish...
