...yards dash and two mile run was better than in the University games of last year. J. G. Willis '03 won the 220 yards hurdles again this year, cutting down his time made in last year's games by 4-5 of a second.

On the whole, therefore, having regard to the impracticability of expending a long period in training, and considering the deleterious after-effects which are not infrequently connected with the longer contests, the three-mile event would seem somewhat better adapted for our American intercollegiate rowing contests.
