With only eight days of actual practice on the Charles left before the Annapolis race, the University eight was put through a short but hard drill yesterday afternoon. The river was very rough, and the wind dead ahead upstream, but Coach Wray demanded a high stroke. On the first sprint the stroke was rapidly put up to 33 to the minute, and in the stretch extending from below the Stillman Infirmary to the boathouse it was raised to 36. The crew showed even better form with a high stroke than with a low, although it tended naturally to clip...
...part of the time on account of the poor condition of the track. The men are in good physical condition and have been worked out sufficiently to give the coaches a better line on them than was possible from the winter work. A full flight of ten hurdles was put up yesterday for the first time. Next week the training table will be started at Memorial Hall with about 20 men and will be moved to the Union after the Easter recess...
Several of the new men have shown considerable promise. T. S. Blumer '10 has done well in the sprints, besides his regular event, the high hurdles, and F. H. Burr '09 has improved steadily in the shot put, while the distance events have been strengthened by the showing of H. F. Miller '08 in the mile, and M. H. Whitney '09 in the two-mile. S. C. Lawrence '10 has continued to improve in his pole-vaulting, which was one of the surprises of the indoor carnival. Of the new men in the high jump, R. P. Pope...
...Harvard alone in the movement. All the colleges are beginning to realize that, much as we need intercollegiate athletics, we need something more, in order to put athletics in general on a proper footing. Dr. Born, speaking for Yale, points out that the intercollegiate athlete is physically away ahead of the average student (a strong argument in itself for intercollegiate athletics), and that by more general participation the physical vigor of the whole student body will be increased. The Daily Princetonian, voicing the Princeton undergraduate sentiment, says: "We do not believe intercollegiate contests to be harmful, but rather a most...
...body of non-athletic spectators. Fortunately to a large extent this is no longer the case. The "non-athletic spectators" are themselves becoming competitors in the less important games within the University. When the rest of Soldiers Field is reclaimed, and the Athletic Committee has demonstrated its ability to put athletics within the reach of all, as well as to make them a power in the intercollegiate field, then this argument can no longer be advanced. The facts, now not fully realized, will be too apparent to deny...
