Rogers, '87, Dana, 88 and Brown, '90 ran a novel 100 yards dash on the ice of Holmes' yesterday. They were accompanied by two or three skaters. Despite the handicaps of the others, Rogers won easily, and covered the distance in 10 1-4 seconds...

It is apparent from the interest which has been shown in this branch of athletics this fall, and the success which attended the recent meeting of the association, our prospects for making a good showing at the Inter-Collegiate games next spring, are unusually bright. But; as has often been said before, it is only by continued hard and faithful...
