...spite of the loss of seven valuable point winners from last year's team, the prospects for this season are, on the whole, encouraging. The success or failure of the team in the important meets will depend largely upon the regularity of work and training of the men who ought to win second and third places.

Auburn street, and back to the Yard again, cheering the football team. The meeting broke up in front of University Hall after cheers had been given for every member of the team and the coaches.
