...editors of the Illustrated Magazine evidently expect a very quick sale for their June number, otherwise they would not give the place of honor to a forecast of the intercollegiate meet, which took place twenty-four hours after the appearance of the magazine. The old-timer will take more pleasure in philosophizing over the past records which follow. It is a pity that the dates are not given in the table of collegiate records. How many Harvard men of today know that Wendell Baker's quarter-mile, though run straightaway, was merely one of a series of extraordinary performances...
...University track team won an overwhelming victory in the thirty-fourth annual meet of the Intercollegiate. Association of Amateur Athletes of America, held in the Stadium Saturday afternoon. Harvard's total of 39 1-10, points was greater than even the most sanguine had predicted. Yale was second with 25 7-10 points, and Pennsylvania and Cornell had a close struggle for third place with 22 1-2 and 20 1-2 respectively. Michigan, the only other college to score any considerable number of points, took fifth place with 14. The other points were divided as follows: Princeton, 7; Haverford...
...seconds, 1-5 of a second behind the time made by Shaw of Dartmouth last year.

In the shot-put Little of Harvard, came within 3 1-2 inches of the record made by Krueger of Swarthmore two years ago. His put of 46 feet, 2 inches, is next to Krueger's the best ever made in an intercollegiate meet. Aside from...

The greatest praise we can give the members of the University team for gaining this position is to say that a few months ago very few thought they could possibly be victorious. It was only by the hardest kind of work on the part of both athletes and coaches that a well-rounded team was developed, and as the season progressed the results of this consistent effort were plainly shown. Although we were defeated by Yale two weeks...
Yesterday's trials were most encouraging. All the members of the team showed up to good advantage, and qualified wherever they were expected to. With a warm day today, as predicted, there should be an all-around improvement, and although a definite forecast of a big track meet is practically impossible, a very cheerful view can reasonably be taken of Harvard's prospects...
