...Only once during the four years had the outlook seemed hopeless. That was in the spring of the senior year. The city in which I had been teacing night school ran temporarily out of funds and I could not collect my salary. I had purchased a supply of paper for a printing job which failed me, and a late spring kept snow on the ground so that carfares ate up my earnings as fast as I received them. One morning, as I went to classes, I spent my last cent on carfare. I wore two rubbers for the left foot...
...great crowd rose shouting for Nurmi, the incomparable, the undefeatable, who once ran the mile in 4:10 2/5, who has innumerable times defeated Willie Ritola, Joie Ray (TIME, July 28, Jan. 19 et seq.)-a Nurmi like the After, of the patent-medicine advertisements.

...firsts in the dual meet last year, and the Elis expect him to repeat that performance this spring. Lundell and Miller are distinctly obstacles to be considered in the way of this champion. Peck is another Crimson runner who should give Norton opposition. Both Peck and Lundell ran the 220 in 22 seconds flat against Princeton, equalling the dual meet record. It is true that Norton is in the habit of sprinting the 220 in something like 21 2-10 seconds, and it is also true that he is a distinct favorite against Harvard...
