With the Harvard-Yale track meet and lacrosse game at New Haven on Saturday, the University sport season nears its climax. The next three weeks will be crowded with contests with the Blue in baseball, rowing, tennis, golf, and polo the athletes will be busy, closing the competitive year with the boat race on the Thames on June...
Last spring's contests on track, turf, and river were equally productive of victories to both universities until the Elitriumph on the Thames last June settled the final verdict in favor of the New Haven athletes.

...suggestion possible, and seems in itself a complete solution of the question. In his letter to Professor Nettleton, Mr. Bingham also vouches for the support of the Harvard Committee in the event that Coaches Horween and Jones might agree to extend reciprocal invitations to games in Cambridge and New Haven. With the aid of such suggestions as these the non-scouting agreement should be the success that will insure a continuance of Harvard's participation in a definite forward athletic move...
