...remarkable records, the eastern marks being beaten in seven events. Ward, of Chicago, has done the 100-yard dash in 9 4-5 seconds, and the 220 in 21 3-5 seconds.

Other stars of the west are Campbell, of Chicago, in the half-mile, Myers, of De Pauw in the mile, and Stiles, of Wisconsin in the broad jump, all of whom have bettered eastern marks in their specialties...

A reader of the Advocate, however, must wish that Mr. Meeker would continue to write short stories like the one about the southern counterfeiter and the female crook in New York. Seldom does the Advocate print things so excellent as was that...
...Southern trip during Easter vacation the team showed that it was already a well-balanced and strong combination by winning all six of its matches.
