Both the short dashes are very uncertain. Ramsdell of Pennsylvania won them last year in even time, and should repeat his victory this year. Yale expects Richards to win two first prizes in these events, and it is not unlikely that he will do so, as he won them both two years ago and is now running in his old time form. Crumm of Iowa is a new man with a phenomenal record, and many who have followed his work carefully think that he will win. Patterson of Williams, Bucholtz of Pennsylvania, and Redpath of Harvard are all good sprinters...
...HAVEN, CONN., May 28. - The Yale track athletic team left this afternoon for New York, where it will compete in the annual intercollegiate games at the Berkeley Oval tomorrow. The team is in excellent condition. Richards, the sprinter, is in even better shape than last week at Cambridge and Captain Hickok is likely to make a world's record in the hammer throw. Yale expects to secure 40 points, which should win first place...

On the border line between two grades there must always be a number of men whose proper rank it is extremely difficult to determine. Even assuming, what it would be unwise to assert, that examinations are absolutely reliable tests of a student's attainment, there would still be the danger of his suffering from some unintentional injustice in the marking; and upon a doubtful decision of the mark in a single course, may hinge the really important question as to the grade of the final degree...

...seniors began to show the effects of their spurt and their body work became quite ragged, though their stroke remained fast. The sophomores slowly overhauled them, and near the finish were on even terms with them. The juniors had the race well in hand, and finished two lengths before the '97 boat, which was directly in their wake. Many of the spectators near the finish line could not tell which crew had won second place, but the judges decided in favor of '97 by half a length. The slow time of 11m. 43s. was caused by the rough water...
