...spite of the black outlook at the beginning of the season, the performance of the track team has been far from unsatisfactory. The results of the first meet participated in, the B. A. A. games, were on the surface disappointing, but an examination of the races show that things were not as bad as they seem. In both the two-mile and one-mile University relay races, the half-lap leads which the opposing teams had at the finish were due to one runner on each team, who lost distance through inability to take the corners properly. This fault...
...outlook for the spring season this year is more promising than it has been for some time past. E. O. Gourdin '21, R. D. Howard '23, Vinton Chapin '23 and C. H. Wansket '23 make a strong quartet of 100-yard sprinters, while Gourdin and Howard, with J. E. Kennedy '23, are the most likely men in the 220.

One of the questions they are asking is how it will seem if the president of Yale waves a Harvard football flag at the future football games. The Governor of Connecticut and other Harvard alumni waved crimson banners at the last match. --New York Evening...
Viewed from the opposite angle, however, Yale's outlook is not so blue. Good material is sure to be developed from a squad of 200 men by a coach of Nickall's ability; there are men at Yale like G. S. Rockefeller, who because sickness prevented their rowing in the final races last year, are not counted among the veterans, and yet have had the benefit of long coaching and experience, and finally a crew fighting against odds has always the advantage of a crew that is over-confident...
