...intended chiefly as a means of out-door exercise for men who are not on any of the football teams. The distances are not long at first, so that men with little previous training may enter the runs safely. As the season goes on the runs are made longer. Two of the fastest runners among those entered act as hares. They are given a certain time start and then the other men set out after them. The first two hounds to reach home are appointed hares for the next run. Toward the end of the season the runs are often...
...running through all the bow men, there was noticeable a heavy catch, with very little length and drive to the stroke. So much was this the character of the stroke that at times it was distinctly noticeable that B. A. A. kept her oars in the water longer and with much better effect than did the men in the Harvard boat. This fact counted immensely in the first mile against the strong head wind...
...Witherspoon Hall. Three men from each class, a heavy weight, middle weight and light weight, contested in pairs for the possession of a stout stick called by courtesy a cane.

Wadsworth may come from the 'varsity and possibly shut out Valentine. though he is not so quick. Shepard at left half runs hard...
...attacks were so persistent and long-continued and were so similar to charges which had been made after games in previous years, that it was no longer possible for Yale to ignore them. One of two courses was open. Yale fully believed that she was not to blame for the beginning of whatever roughness occurred in the Springfield game, and she believed that there was overwhelming evidence to this effect. It was impossible for her to have replied in newspapers and, by counter charges, to have created what would undoubtedly have been a lasting breach. But her traditional silence...
