...that that organization is in a most prosperous condition The Tech. road race, the club road race, the spring meeting and the weekly run will place bicycling among the prominent athletic sports. The arrangements for the track race meeting, which were published yesterday, promise that this will be by far the most elaborate bicycling tournament ever held at Harvard or at any other college.

...Cook, the trainer, but as this is an annual occurrance, it does not carry much weight with it in forming an opinion of the crew.

He did very well considering the very heavy batting team he had to face. Henshaw caught in the first Philadelphia game, but not in his usual good form. The work of Howland...
...work of the candidates for second and third base was very weak in the three games played on the trip. All of the men however, are lively, wideawake fielders and display a willingness to work which gives encouragement that they will overcome this weakness before the season is far advanced...
