...ended with a meet with Northeastern College, held on March 4 in Boston, which the Crimson runners won by the overwhelming score of 53-13. The meet was arranged chiefly for the purpose of giving the men practice in running under competition, and although the competition was not very stiff it served its purpose...
This afternoon Coach Bingham will put the University track squad through its last practice before the Intercollegiates of Friday and Saturday. Yesterday the usual stiff work-out was held on Soldiers Field, the University of California runners holding their first practice in the Stadium at the same time. Thursday every University runner will rest except the milers and two-milers, who will do only light work. Preliminaries in all but the two long distance events will take place Friday afternoon. If the best mark in any of the field events is made in the preliminaries Friday instead of the finals...

The pole-vault was not included on the English program and probably will be omitted from the meet on July...
