...meeting of the Boston Athletic Association held in Mechanics Hall Saturday night was thoroughly successful and gratifying from the B. A. A. as well as a Harvard point of view.

Out of the thirteen events, 5 first, 3 second and 6 third prizes were credited to Harvard men, making a total of 40 points, counting first prizes five points, seconds three points, and thirds one point. By the same reckoning the B. A. A. scored 4 first prizes, 2 seconds and 3 thirds, making...

Last year Yale, Princeton and Amherst voted with Harvard to drop by event from the program, but the small colleges and Columbia defeated the motion...
...Harvard contestants in the Worcester games last Saturday were very successful. They won three first prizes, thus scoring more points than any other club. The track was seventeen laps to the mile and the forty yard dash was the only event in which good time was made. In the 440 yard run and especially the mile team race, the Worcester men showed their skill in running around the corners, but the Harvard runners caught them on the stretch every time...
