...members of the University team entered in the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival Saturday made an excellent showing. The relay team, however, which was considered particularly strong, won only fourth place in the one mile championship race. The event was very closely contested. Harvard was defeated by Chicago, Michigan, and Illinois...
...yard dash in 10 1-5 seconds, defeating Sherman of Dartmouth and Dawbarn and Gamble of Princeton. In the 16-pound shot-put c. C.

Last year a committee for this purpose was appointed by the Athletic Committee, but it has apparently sunk into oblivion, and some permanent body is needed to take its place. We cannot overestimate the importance of fulfilling this duty carefully. Too often have visiting teams left Cambridge feeling that Harvard was distinctly unfriendly, simply because an overworked manager was the only one supposed to look out for them, and he had too many other important things to do.
