Thus the Yale soldiers are to support us with artillery as we deploy and manoeuver through the Bowl. From goal post to goal post we will dash while the artillerymen sit peacefully on their steeds and caissons chuckling inwardly. It is indeed a subtle witticism from the Yale point of view. Except to amuse them there can be no reason for this joust. Crowds there will be none for who will travel to New Haven to see a puny two thousand would-be soldiers, when they can go to Yaphank or Ayer and watch tens of thousands drill...
...Wendell was born in Boston, December 5, 1860, but spent his youth in New York City. He entered the University with the class of 1882 and attained early prominence by running the 100-yard dash in the fall track games in 10 1-4 seconds, one half second faster than the previous record. It was due to his enthusiasm and energy that the first University track team was formed the following spring, and he was captain of it all four years he was in College. In the spring of 1881 he ran the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat...
...sundering of that former close bond of amity which bound the president of the Army League of the United States, Mr. Joseph Leiter, to his honorary vice-president, Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, may strike some patriotic souls with a cold-water dash.

Captain E. A. Teschner '17 and W. Moore '18 will run in the 100-yard dash today and will probably place well, as both showed up well in the indoor meets this past winter. C. S. Babbitt '18 and R. W. Harwood '20 will be the only other members of the University to compete, both being entered in the pole-vault. Harwood is an especially brilliant vaulter, holding the University interscholastic meet record, and may score at Philadelphia today...
...will not officially send a team to compete in the Pennsylvania relay carnival on Friday and Saturday, five members of the track team have entered the games and will probably leave for Philadelphia tomorrow. Captain E. A. Teschner '17 and W. Moore '18 will run in the 100-yard dash, and W. H. Meanix '18 is entered in the 440-yard hurdles. W. S. Blanchard '17 will compete in the weight events and C. S. Babbitt '18 in the pole-vault. No relay team will be entered, as has been the custom, and the men will go as individuals...
