...ideal way to stage the intercollegiate quarter-mile event would be on a course without a bend, but such a plan is impracticable. The only scheme of conducting the event in lanes is fair to the competitors and yet not entirely satisfactory because the man-to-man element is diminished by the staggered starting marks. So long as the race is conducted under present conditions there is bound to be some jockeying, but I think it is to the credit of the I.C.A.A.A.A. competitors that the championship races down through the years have been fought in clean, manly fashion...

...Princeton University, "Dick" Cleveland figured as campus critic, as reformer. Ardent Wilson Democrat, he followed in his hero's footsteps by attacking the upperclass-men's club system. He associated himself with the so-called "great unwashed" (the socially unassimilated element of the student body) and refused the many club invitations that were addressed to him by virtue of his personality, attainments and appearance, which was quite the reverse of "unwashed," he being a tall blond shot-putter cast in a noble mold.
