...improving the average riding of the club, just as competition with other and better nines improves the playing of our nine. The only objection is that the spring race occurs near the time of the Mott Haven sports, and the best riders may be away at New York. Still it is unlikely that more than three men will be sent to Mott Haven, and with Davis, Dean, Norton, Bailey, '91, Bailey, '88, Merrill, Brown, Hesseltine and Darling the H. B. C. ought to be able to furnish a good road team as well as a track team. These contests would...
...article this moring on the candidates says that a number of men are anxious for the position and mean to work for it. This must be done or we shall lose another championship which although not so near our grasp as was the foot-ball, is still within the range of possibility. Harvard does not wish to add another series of defeats to the performances of the last two years, and with proper spirit she need...

...good and all, since discussion of the subject has stopped altogether. The advantages to be gained by putting such a plan into execution, makes it worth while to give the subject fair consideration.

It is true that the ground is higher than Holmes Field but this fact does not make it impossible nor even very difficult to flood the field. A low embankment either of earth or snow would be sufficient to keep the water from running off, and if the field...
...great deal of hard work must be done in order to make our Mott Haven team of this year a winning one. Although there is every prospect for as good a team as last year, still it must be borne in mind that we did not win last year; and therefore must put forth all our energies to develop and perfect the material that we have. The loss of Rogers will be very severely felt, there being no one to take his place in the 100-yards dash. A good deal of attention will be given to developing...
