Winners of 1928 who will try to repeat are Captain Reid of Harvard, who lowered the mile record to 4.26 4.5; Captain Swope of Dartmouth, whose 600-yard triumph resulted in a record of 1.16 3-5; Reid in the two miles, Maynard of Dartmouth in the high jump, Levy of Cornell in the shot-put, and French of Harvard in the broad jump. French has rounded slowly into top stride; Maynard until recently has been handicapped by a lame back, but Reid, Swope, and Levy are in prime fettle, although I'll be surprised if Reid wins both...
...left Coach Farrell without any real first-class 1000-yard material. The Latham twins and Andrews of the Green have been turning in very fast times, according to reports from Hanover, and Andrews is expected to take the event. R. P. Porter '29 is counted on to repeat his last year's performance and take second place. One of the Harvard breaks in the meet may occur in the 1000, as Porter might possibly lead the way across the finish line. The other Crimson point will be gained by either A. M. Vinton '30 or G. W. Smith...
...Green in vying with Harvard in these two races. Goacli Moakley has entered Benson, his crack long distance man, in these events, but whether he will allow him to run in both Saturday night is a question of doubt. Captain J. L. Reid '29 is counted on to repeat his double victory of last year, but it is than likely that Benson, the indoor intercollegiate two-mile champion, may nose him out in the longer race, especially if he withdraws from the mile. If he runs in both events, it is quite likely that he will capture a second place...
...repeat my statement of five years ago, at the time of negotiations preceding adoption of the first Dawes plan, and that is that I regard the questions to be settled by our committee to be business questions only. I hope they will be approached in that spirit and with a determination to get a constructive answer speedily...
...compelling are a hundred-odd pages of Joseph and His Brethren that the reader, enthusiastic, mouths them "strong," "fundamental," and "in the best tradition of English novels of the soil." But when the farmland seasons begin inevitably to recur, and the simple rustics inevitably to repeat themselves, that same reader, despondent, flutters the pages and lights upon the publisher's explanation that the work was originally planned as a short story, and later expanded to its 372 pages. Obviously ill adapted to short story, the theme of nature's dogged hold upon the lives of men is here...
