...University's first relay victory avenged the defeat which the M. I. T. runners had administered two weeks before. In the lead-off J. S. Murphy Jr. '25 and Tench took turns at capturing and losing the pole for two and a half laps, but Murphy's strong finish in the last 50 yards sent Vinton Chapin '23 off with a five-yard lead over Holden of Technology. This advantage the Crimson runner was unable to retain, for he was soon passed and was three yards in the rear when he handed over the baton to J. E. Merrill...
Overcoming their opponents' lead in a whirlwind finish, the University basketball team defeated Worcester Polytechnic Institute by a score of 31 to 28 in Hemenway gymnasium Saturday night. This was the second time this year that the Crimson has defeated Worcester, having won the first game on January 27 by a score...
...game was close from the start. Worcester scored the first goal, but soon lost the lead, and the Crimson remained ahead throughout the first half. Play at first was slow, but became faster at the beginning of the second period.

Here its string of fortune broke, and a field goal by Miller followed by a basket from the foul line by Gordon, tied the score. In the eight minutes of play that remained, Gordon and Lowenthal...
...victory over the Green was even more notable as far as Burke was concerned. J. H. Sherburne '24 trailed Hill for the full six laps, but W. L. Chapin '25 passed Jerman in the second relay and piled up a 15-yard lead. J. E. Merrill '24 was evidently tired from his running earlier in the evening, for he lost all that Chapin had gained and started Burke ten yards behind the Green anchor man, Letteney. The Crimson leader devoted the first three laps to bringing himself up on even terms with Letteney, then passed him on a straightaway...
...long race against Dartmouth will attract most attention. Coach Hillman's runners ran remarkably in the B. A. A. games on February 3, when they defeated both Syracuse and M. I. T. For the Crimson, Coach Martin has decided to let J. H. Sherburne '24 lead-off, shifting W. L. Chapin '25 to second runner. J. E. Merrill '24 will take the baton next, with Captain J. W. Burke '23 following at anchor...
