...second annual winter track carnival held Saturday afternoon in the Hemenway Gymnasium and on Holmes Field, was a great success. The large number of entries and events prolonged the carnival more than was expected, and the final relay race was not run off until 6.30 o'clock. Cups were awarded in all events to those who won first, second and third places, and also the five members of the winning tug-of-war team. The relay race was won by the Ridgely-Mount Auburn street team which was accordingly awarded the shield presented by the Track and Field Club last...
...yard dash had the largest number of entries, and seven heats were run off, the first man in each heat qualifying for the finals. L. J. Freedman 1G. won in 3 seconds, equalling his own record made in the carnival a year ago. The 16-pound shot put resulted in a tie between L. W. Bangs '08 and F. H. Burr '09. Bangs made the best put, 42 feet, 5 inches, but could not overcome Burr's handicap of 4 feet, 6 inches. Burr's actual put was 38 feet, 11 inches...
...Gregory '10 won the potato race in 34 1-5 seconds, beating his old record made last year. He was closely pushed by A. Sweetser '11 and J. F. McDonald '08. The high jump had a good number of entries and was very spectacular. It was won by S. A. Reed '11, with B. T. Stephenson '08 second, and W. A. Dennis '11 third. The best jump was made by G. E. Roosevelt '09, who cleared 5 feet, 9 inches, in good form, but failed to place because of the handicaps given his opponents...
...hundred and twenty individual competitors, marks a significant point in the progress of athletics within the limits of the University. This is a striking instance of a kind of athletics that has been unusually prosperous this year. Scrub basketball gave exercise and amusement to 80 men; approximately the same number entered the scrub hockey series, which was unfortunately forestalled by the breaking up of winter; last fall 14 eight-oared crews took part in the inter-dormitory bumping races; and 214 men ran in the fall handicap meet. Such figures as these certainly show no lack of interest in strictly...
...CRIMSON realizes the difficulty of securing prominent men to speak on political questions; but felt justified in comparing the tangible results of last year's efforts with what has been accomplished this year. So far as the University was able to judge, the greatest good for the greatest number had not been achieved. There was no intention to compare the Political Club with the partisan organizations proper, merely with their very apparent energy. In the future at any rate we may expect to see the club take an active part in affairs; and the appeal of our contributor...
