...University track team, already weakened by the loss of good material by graduation and probation, is now struggling along with but little support owing to the miserable facilities of our antiquated Gymnasium. It is all very well to revile the undergraduates for not going out early for the team, but anyone who has examined the place where they have to dress for practice cannot blame them very much for their apparent indifference. The locker rooms are dark, unsanitary and improperly ventilated; the lockers themselves are minute and crowded together without regard to the comfort or health of their users...
...number of candidates than in other universities and a poorer floor to play on, the gymnastic team is handicapped to a great extent, and the swimming team has no University tank to practice in. Aside from these regular athletic organizations, the great number of men who depend on the Gymnasium for their exercise in winter months are forced to put up with disadvantages which keep many men out of the building altogether. When the afternoon classes are in session the floor is often uncomfortably overcrowded, and the lack of good ventilation renders the atmosphere distinctly unpleasant...

All men who wish to compete must take the strength test. In addition to the events already announced, there will be a race of seven laps, or slightly more than one-half mile, with a handicap limit of 35 yards...
...University gymnastic team gave a successful joint exhibition with the Yale team in the Hemenway Gymnasium on Saturday evening. The features of the meet were the University team's pyramid work and Yale's clever exhibition of tumbling. Both teams showed good form on the horizontal bar. Though Harvard had the better of the side-horse and club swinging events, Yale gave a better performance on the flying rings. The University team, starting with only two men from last year's team as a nucleus, has developed slowly but consistently and is in good condition for the subsequent competitive meets...
