A full flight of ten hurdles was put up yesterday for the first time. Next week the training table will be started...

The Stadium is also at no small distance from the Yard, where both on Class...

The work of the Freshmen consisted entirely of practice in handling grounders and was, for the most part, ragged and lifeless...
