Class Day is distinctly seniors' day. Its success depends largely upon our ability to keep the Yard solely in possession of seniors and their friends. To accomplish this, every possible precaution has been taken. Tickets have been made from special sketches, copyrighted and numbered, and a record will be made of the holder of every ticket that leaves the Committee's office...
Judging by the old records, everything in the weight throwing should come to the American representatives. Hickok of Yale has a record of 44 ft. 1 1/2 in. with the sixteen-pound shot, and of 135 ft. 7 1/2 in. with the sixteen-pound hammer. Cross of Yale also has thrown the hammer 135 ft., and A. Brown of this university has put the shot over forty feet. The Oxford men last year did but little in the events, G. Robertson throwing the hammer from a 30-foot ring 101 ft., and A. F. Mailing putting the shot...

Sheldon of Yale defeated him with a jump of 22 ft. 10 in., and since that time has shown his ability to cover a greater distance. A. Stickney of Harvard was second in both the dual and intercollegiate events. In the high jump Paine of Harvard could get only third place in the intercollegiate with 5 ft. 10 3/4 in., but in the Yale-Harvard games a week previous he cleared...

...crew is fairly heavy, and the men are rowing fairly well together. It is hardly probable that they will establish quite the record of last year's eight, which was phenomenal, beating the 'varsity quite handily several times, at two miles. They row nearly the same stroke as the 'varsity, altered a little to suit a two-mile course, which is more or less of a sprint at best. The stroke is shorter and there is not quite the body reach to it that the other crew has. However, it is a smooth stroke, and so far has not been...
