The fall freshman athletic meeting is always looked forward to with much interest, not with any great expectation that records will be broken, but because it is the first time that the freshmen have occasion to show their skill in that branch of athletics which has ever been peculiarly Harvard's, We cannot impress too strongly upon the competitors the necessity of doing their very best, for the chance of places on the Mott Haven team depends largely upon the records which are made at this...
