Statistics compiled by the CRIMSON and published yesterday indicate that the New England States with their famous secondary schools are far from producing proportionately the greatest number of men of college distinction.

Willcox, Jr. '17, who opposed Lockwood and Lennon, respectively, lost slightly through cautious starting, but made it up later in their relays. W. J. Bingham '16 started 4 yards behind Meredith and was able to close up the interval between, although he could not overtake the Pennsylvania captain...
...CRIMSON army will be led to the attack by General von Stein. This superb array of fighting men, consisting of four colonels, five majors and a private, will have little trouble in disposing of the few stragglers who will fight for the Lampoon. Cold reason and past experience lead to the expectation of a staggering victory for the CRIMSON...
