...this afternoon at 4 o'clock over the Charles River course. In the 1928 meet, the Crimson secured the better end of a 28 to 34 score, R. C. Aldrich '31, present captain, placing second to Leslie Flaksman '29. Thus far this season the charges of Coach Mikkola have defeated Holy Cross by 19 to 53, and avenged themselves for last year's defeat at the hands of the New Hampshire Wildcats by turning the tables...

Prior to the resumption of the rivalry between the two institutions in 1928, the Crimson and West Point elevens had clashed 13 times, and each time a Harvard team carried off the honors...
...University cross country team will attempt to avenge themselves for last year's defeat at the hands of the University of New Hampshire this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock when they race the Wildcat harriers over the Charles River course. Captain R. C. Aldrich '31 will run his first race this season, as will B. E. Estes '32, David Cobbs '31, R. W. Hale '31, and Daniel Merriman '31. Cobb and Estes have been on the injury list during the first part of the week, but are reported to be in good shape for this afternoon's grind...
