...final hare and hound run which will be held on Monday. The squad took the regular cross country run of about five and a half miles, through Garden street, around Fresh Pond, and back by way of Brattle street. For the first few miles the pace was slow, but the break was made at the corner of Huron avenue and Brattle street, about a mile and a quarter from home. O. W. Richardson 1L. finished first, with W. G. Clerk '01, second...

This year's Harvard team has been selected from a very large squad, and has not been handicapped by having any of its best players taken on the 'Varsity squad.

This was due in part to the few games played, in part to the lack of attention from the graduate coaches, who have spent most of their time working on the 'Varsity. The past week's hard and very satisfactory practice, however, will doubtless find Yale prepared to play a strong game. Yet it is certain that the team is considerably weakened by the loss of Wilhelmi, fullback, who broke his collar-bone in the Princeton freshman game last Saturday. Although...
Throughout the whole run the pace was slow and frequent stops were made on account of the poor scent which was laid badly and partly carried away by the wind. Only about four miles were covered, though the runners were out nearly an hour. W. G. Clerk '01 was the first hound home, and was closely followed by F. B. Taylor 1L and S. H. Bush...
