...University track team started the winter season with enthusiasm at a low ebb. People outside of College expected little of it; indeed the team had little confidence in itself. There were several contributing causes to this state of affairs. The coaching staff which has had charge of University track affairs for the past ten or twelve years came into power at a time when specialization in track events was just beginning. As a result, men who had previously had school experience had a slight advantage over men without such experience upon entering College. Unfortunately the coaching staff believed that school...
After this game the spirit of the squad seemed at a low ebb, but with intensive work-outs Coach Wachter put fighting spirit into the men.

They rowed very nearly even during the whole distance, but in the last eighth mile the first crew gave a remarkable exhibition of driving ability. The eights had been rowing at about 29 strokes to the minute, practically even, and in this...
...taken that it should be one which would not be affected by temporary fluctuations in the financial world. The method used is based upon statistical analysis supplemented by economic analysis. The statistical analysis requires the correction of the actual statistics so that the corrected figures will show the true ebb and flow of business prosperity and depression, while the economic analysis consists of a careful examination of the underlying economic structure of the past and present...
