...result of the dual games Saturday was a surprise to the university at large.

This defeat, the worst one that Harvard has ever suffered on the track, was as surprising as it was overwhelming. The team felt confident of winning when they left for New Haven, but the hard races in the Pennsylvania games and the time trials...
