...commenting on the comparative strength of the teams the former Crimson runner, who led his men last spring to within four points of breaking the Yale winning streak which has instead since 1922, pointed out that several of the events will probably be complete sweeps for both reams.

His leap of 23 feet 11 and one-half inches in the Dartmouth meet, although discounted by a favoring wind, is nearly one foot farther than any Yale jumper has reached this spring. The closest competition will come in this event when G. A. Lomasney '28 battles with Oldt and Brandenburg of the Blue aggregation for second or third place.

At it some 1500 delegates have met to renew the associations of yesteryear, and bring back to their respective Clubs possibly something of the spirit with which they were imbued in their undergraduate...
...times this season, the Crimson team will face the slants of a southpaw hurler. Hensil, slated to pitch for the Main Liners, has performed very creditably during the spring campaign, having won six out of seven starts. Among the nines that his teammates have defeated are Princeton, Cornell, Boston College, and Lehigh...
