Capper began his athletic career at Brookline High School where he played on the football team and began his development as a track star. At high school, he ran the sprints, the low hurdles, and the quarter, besides doing a little broad-jumping. His skill in each of these events kept him from specializing in any one of them and it was not until last year, when he had been shifted to the half-mile, that he began to show really championship calibre. In his Freshman year, Capper ran the quarter against Yale and took second place. Last year...
...case of rain on Class Day it will be necessary to hold the usual Stadium exercises in New Lecture Hall and Sanders Theatre, and since those two halls together hold only about one-quarter of the number that can be accommodated in the bowl of the Stadium, it is possible to issue only one rain check to every four Stadium tickets. Furthermore, owing to possible errors in filling applications it may be that some men have not been given rain checks. Any Seniors finding that to be the case should see the chairman.

Harvard's 11 points were won by four men. Captain W. A. Barron, Jr., '14 secured second in the quarter-mile after a fight with Meredith of Pennsylvania, while W. J. Bingham '16 finished fifth. F. W.

...yard run a great deal depends on the draw. If Barron is fortunate in this respect he should win the race. However, if Meredith, of Pennsylvania, decides to run in the quarter he will make a very dangerous competitor. Janson, of Michigan, should take a place unless he saves himself for the half, and Wilkie, of Yale, and W. J. Bingham '16 should both gain points with Caldwell, of Cornell, Lockwood, of Princeton, and J. C. Rock '15 as other contestants...
...will be the half-mile, with Brown, of Yale, and Meredith, of Pennsylvania, as the chief contenders. The latter, who holds the world's record of 1 minute, 52 1-2 seconds, should win this event, especially if he saves himself for it by keeping out of the quarter. Brown did 1 minute, 54 seconds two weeks ago and can undoubtedly reduce this, but hardly enough to defeat Meredith. At all events, J. P. Jones's record of 1 minute, 53 4-5 seconds, will probably be lowered, if running conditions are at all favorable. F. W. Capper '15 should...
