As for the comparison made with other dailies, perhaps the Magazine's writer is swept off his feet by the many columns given in those papers to outside news. Would it be wise for the editors of the CRIMSON to compete with Boston papers in this field? The external appearance of the paper would be improved, but would its value to the college community?

Flower '19 found stiff competition in the broad jump against Johnson of Michigan and Le Gendre of Georgetown, but won third place by a jump of 22 feet, 8 3-4 inches. Myers' record in the pole-vault was just 6 inches higher than that...
