...spring a team that would do credit to Amherst. Immediately after the Christmas holidays, the nine went into training under the direction of their captain, Mr. Stuart. Over twenty men took part in the regular exercises of the team, and all entered into the severe winter training with great enthusiasm and interest. Welch of the New Yorks, who is considered one of the finest trainers in the country, was engaged to coach the nine.

Under the supervision of our efficient trainer, the track athletics of Harvard are in a more flourishing condition than ever before in the history of the college. Both old and new men this year seem filled with an enthusiasm which it is very gratifying to see, while the results attained are equally encouraging to all interested in the success of Harvard in the inter-collegiate games. There is a well-founded belief that the record-breaker will be on hand this afternoon, and we may expect a large attendance...
