...each time. This year there were five machines entered as against only one last year. The course consisted of once around the field, and twice around the light and back, a dictance of 33 miles. On this day, Sopwith took first and Ovington second, although Grahame-White made the fastest time only to be disqualified. The other contestants either had engine trouble or lost their way. Other events were the altitude quick-climbing to a height of 2,000 feet, in which Beachey again demonstrated his skill in management when he came down in thrilling spirals; the accuracy in landing...
Harvard Training Quarters Red Top, Conn. June 20, 1911.--The University crew was given a second time trial this afternoon and went over the course in 20 minutes, 26 seconds, the fastest time made in the last four years.

The Harvard society has under construction at present a glider designed after the Wright model...
...University team has improved a great deal in the past few weeks and in its two games against Canadian teams has learned much hockey. Hornblower and Duncan in the centre positions are the fastest players on the team and work well together, while Seamans, who lacked experience, has improved rapidly at right end. Leslie and Pierce are struggling for left end and seem to be about equal. The defence is very strong and Houston, Blackall and Gardner make three good substitutes...
