...experience of the past few years has emphasized the uncertainty of predicting track meets far ahead. Men winning points one year may fail to score another year, while only a slight improvement may bring to the fore someone unplaced in former races. A great deal depends on the material at hand for the development of a team, and a great deal more depends on training and acquisition of experience in competitions. Of those who scored in the dual meet and the intercollegiate this year the following nine men will form a nucleus for next year's team: Captain W.M. Rand...
...number of promising sprinters is small. Blumer, who won a place in the 220-yard dash in both the Yale and intercollegiate meets this year, and R.C. Foster of the Freshman team are better in the longer dash than in the 100-yards. It will take a great deal of hard work to develop enough sprinters to bring the team up to the average in these events. The outlook in the quarter and half-mile runs is brighter. Merrihew and deSelding are closely matched in the former, while Jaques of the Freshman team and Whitcher should again give the University...
Harvard's strength in the hurdles will be to a great extent offset by the remarkable ability of Howe, Robbins and Kilpatrick of Yale.

Stephenson and Bangs will be missed from the shot-put next spring but Little and Burr with another season's training should be able to hold the majority of points for Harvard. Pope and Harwood will form a strong team in the high-jump, with the addition of several promising Freshmen. Little and Ruch, together with Dick and Long of the 1911 team, are the most promising of the broad-jumpers, but Yale will have a good jumper next spring...
...Hall nor Randall Hall will be in operation during the six weeks' session of the Summer School. It is unfortunate that no arrangement can be made whereby one of the halls can be used to accommodate the summer students but the losses incurred in past years have been so great that it seems out of the question...
