...Salem, the old seaport for trade with the East. The feeling in the article is good; but the imperfect workmanship and the tendency to moralize give the effect of a school composition. "The Friend," a sonnet, though not quite musical and at the end not quite clear, may be called a "lovable" poem for its fine spirit and its unpretentious truth. The other poem, "The West," shows in the rhythm experience and some skill; but "meadowland" and "hinterland" make dubious rhyme, and "hinterland" is dubious English. Such verses, also...
...result of the preliminary trials held in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, Harvard's chances appear brighter than before. Yale on the whole fared worse than was expected, but Cornell and Pennsylvania showed signs of strength that may make the final result dangerously close. The University led in the number of men qualifying for the finals with 15; Yale and Cornell tied for second with 12 each; Pennsylvania had 8 men and Princeton 7.

In spite of Cooney's failure to qualify, Yale still has a chance for points with Andrus and Goebel. Cornell may take a point with Sullivan, who threw 135 feet, 8 1-4 inches...
...Cornell an inch behind. Babcock of Columbia was a quarter of an inch behind Nixon, and Cook of Cornell a quarter of an inch behind Babcock. Kilpatrick, although he finished fifth yesterday, is still a prominent candidate for first or second place. Cook has a lame ankle and may not be able to improve his mark to any great extent...
