...first would have done very well by itself. Its author rejoices "in once more looking forward to a good foot-ball season," for the Courant's "love of sport overcomes any sentimental considerations," that is, any desire to play with elevens. He then criticises severely the action of one of the Harvard delegates, and ends by complaining that the Crimson drew its "account of the convention from partisan sources," that is, from a Harvard man, as if it would have been more natural to ask one of the gentlemen from Yale to act as our reporter! All this, however, does...
Harlem Regatta. - At this regatta, on October 19, over a one-mile course, B. T. Keator of Yale won his trial-heat in 7 min. 39 1/2 sec. (Junior single sculls), but was beaten in the final in 7 min. 40 1/4 sec., by Lyon of the Dauntless Club. H. Livingston of Yale was beaten in his trial-heat for the Senior single sculls by Mills, N.

...Entry-Book is still an unbroken expanse. It should be remembered that any man who can stay on his machine has a chance in this race, and that he will have a half-mile start if that is necessary to equalize him with the scratch man. Let no one despair, therefore, but enter his name anyhow, and, if not satisfied with the handicap, no one is obliged to start. Out of thirty bicycles said to be in college, surely six or eight men can be found willing to enter. Every time a man is beaten he gets a longer start...
JUDGES AT THE FINISH.Two shall stand at one end of the tape, and the third at the other. One shall take the winner, another the second man, and the other the third man; they shall also note the distances between the first three as they finish...
