...University track team leaves Cambridge today for the Yale dual meet at New Haven, the first contest for the possession of the new nine-year cup offered by graduates of the two institutions. The situation in regard to the meet is analogous to the circumstances which attended the football game last fall. Yale started the year with a corps of veterans, while the Harvard coaches began their work with a squad for the most part untried in intercollegiate contests. No point winners of last year's team remain in seven events, while Yale will be well supported...
...sorry that such a close and exciting contest as this promises to be is going to be held away from Cambridge, but we assure the members of the team that the best wishes of the University go with them today. If there is any truth in telepathy, they will certainly be urged on by the cheers given for them on Soldiers Field tomorrow, afternoon...
From the twenty-seven men who competed yesterday in the trial speaking contest for the Boylston Prizes in Rhetoric and Oratory, the following ten have been retained for the final competition, which will be held tomorrow: P.

In the years past this meet has been found to be of great value to the University team in preparation for the contest with Yale and the intercollegiate, and has given the coaches the first opportunity of watching the men in outdoor competition with an opposing college. Since practice on Soldiers Field was begun, there has been a great improvement in the University material. Confronted early in the year with a rather gloomy outlook. Captain Rand and the coaches have developed a team comparatively...
...right between the innings after a good exhibition by the home team; short cheers are an excellent means of encouraging the men when they go to bat; but the pumped cheering and confused hub-bib during an exciting moment are decidedly out of place in an amateur intercollegiate contest. Not only is such applause unfair to the visitors. It is a great question whether it does not tend to confuse and excite the University players...
