...addition to the dormitory races, there will be the following events: 40-yard low hurdles, 40-yard dash, 390-yard run, 780-yard run, one-mile run, high jump, and 12-pound shot...
Enough men reported for the opening class crew practice yesterday to make up one first boat. Two classes were unable to turn out eight men for their class crews. Can it be that class spirit has ebbed so low that only the glamour of the University "H" will induce men to row on a chilly afternoon? It seems almost as if undergraduates had given up the idea of participating in athletics for the sake of the sport and exercise, not to mention the honor of the class.

A. R. Dupont '12 of last year's Freshmen is also a likely man for this event...
