...Saturday the first Senior crew concluded the week's work by a hard row over the course. Switzer set a high stroke all the way, rowing 34 for the first third of the distance and not falling below 32 at any time. The men stood the pace, and the boat spaced well. The men showed an improvement in driving the stroke through with a powerful finish. The time, 10 minutes 5 seconds, is no criterion, as the crew was forced by the wind to cling to the Boston shore and had to diverge to mid-stream in order to circle...
...record by two inmches. Gibert raised by two inches the pole vault record of 11 feet, 6 inches, held by McLanahan of Yale. The Yale team was very weak in the sprints and hurdles, but fairly strong in the distance runs, and good in the vault, broad jump and high jump. It won all the places in the two mile run and in the shot put. The distance in the latter event was 6 1-2 inches less than that made by B. T. Stephenson '08 in the dual games with Dart mouth...
...High jump--Harvard 1909. G. E. Roosevelt, F. P. Farquhar, R. S. Bard, F. R. Beebe, J. P. Thomas, F. S. Preston, R. P. Chandler. Brookline: J. Boyd, L. A. Sargent, G. Hann, A. Adams, J. P. Schlemm...

The Freshman will be especially strong in the high jump, the quarter mile run, and the hurdles. Brookline also has some good men who have trained constantly during the past season under their coach, M. G. Loan-man. The Brookline team will probably be strongest in the 100- and 220-yard dashes...
...hint of triteness in material or phrasing. John Albert Macy '99 contributes a story called "John Anderson, Deputy." It is vivid and real from beginning to end, vigorous, and thoroughly worth reading. "June", a poem by John Corbin '92, is perhaps a little uneven in quality, but it is high praise to say that in many lines it comes very close to the spirit of its title. "The Salvation Army", by Witter Bynner '02, is a half quizzical bit of verse, which very aptly phrases the attitude of those "who stand aside and say, 'O, they accomplish good.'" The number...
