...track spirit, but it will be a gloomy, chill dawn if the track squad reporting for the first practice today is not larger than any in the last four years. Two men reporting for the hammer-throw, three for the high jump, and one for the pole-vault will only snuff out the hopeful flame recently kindled. The best of systems must have men behind it. Today is the time for undergraduates to show the committees who have been working for the most efficient plan of direction that the College appreciates their efforts and desires a winning team this...

Rodman and Grant are the best of the high jumpers, and the latter has done over 22 feet in the broad jump.

...past, and no very revolutionary changes have occurred since victories were the rule. With 2,500 men to draw from, the amount of raw material is sufficient for two track teams. Yet in 1915 Harvard had only one entry for the hammer-throw and three entries for the pole-vault in the Yale meet. Last year Harvard entered three men to Yale's eleven in the hammer-throw, and three men to Yale's ten in the high jump. At the beginning of this winter's season fifty men reported for practice, and during the last week there were only...
