When the gun goes off starting the one-mile race at the Garden tomorrow, what should turn out to be one of the best distance races ever seen in this meet will be under way. Johnny Meadon, the captain of the Big Red team, will be seeking to repeat the victory he gained last year; but he will be pushed hard by his teammate Wreck Welch and Alex Northrop of Harvard. Last year's winning time was 4:27.6, and a week ago Welch took the mile against Yale in 4:27.6, running without spikes on a bank-loss track...
Cornell is entering the meet as the general favorite; and Coach Moakley has developed a powerful, well balanced squad up at Ithaca. But the Big Red team is in for a real battle against both Dartmouth and Yale; Harvard, unless there is a startling upset, will trail the winner, though Jaakko Mikkola's men might pick up third place. Their principal importance will come in determining how many points they will take away from Cornell and Dartmouth in the running events; Northrop might beat Meadon and Donovan might beat Pender, two events that would toss the Big Red pretty much...
...Alfred Lunt is overflowing with the shrewdness and practicality his part calls for, and if no Middle-Westerner ever heard speech so raucous as his, he has simply gone too far on the right track.

Johnny Badman only had to do 5' 10" to win the high jump against the Big Red, and at that rate he wouldn't get very far in the Quad meet competition. But the story from New Haven has it that Badman can hit 6' 1" with comparative ease, and they think he's good for 6' 2" if he's pressed. So that should turn out to be a very closely contested event, for Dartmouth has a couple of boys good for 6' 1" anyway, and Jaakko will send Bob Haydock out there hoping he will pull the first...
...made the most of his opportunities. His thorough scholarship has examined and probed the reports of the Czarist police, therefore, his opinions of Pushkin's relations with the Decembrista may be regarded as based upon unassailable facts. Pushkin, in his estimate, emerges as a Liberal and thus both the Red and White Russians can claim him for their own, since the classic definition of a Liberal, according to Mr. Eugene Gordon, is one who weeps with the workers and wails with the boss. On the whole, however, it seems that Pushkin tended more towards the opponents of Czarism but, after...
