...Tyng '04, on Friday afternoon, in the presence of several witnesses, made an unofficial strength test which registered 2,226.4. This is considerably better than both the Harvard record of 1,869.5, made last year by C. G. Hall 1L., and the intercollegiate record of 1,940.9, made by R. W. Allis of the University of Minnesota. The individual tests registered as follows: lungs, 50; legs, 780; back, 410; right forearm, 95; left forearm, 85; chest and upper arms, 806.4; total...
...soundness of the reasons which induced the adoption in 1876 of four miles as the distance. The longer race is a better test of the rowing ability of the crews, for the longer the race the more skill in rowing, and especially in crew rowing, counts, while mere individual strength is less important. To win a four mile race requires a long period of thorough and careful preparation. If the length of the race is shortened, there would be danger of a tendency towards insufficient preparation...
...medical man's point of view, is not too technical to be clear. The author advocates the plan of having medical advisers supervise the training of athletes--supplementing, though not supplanting, the work of the professional trainer. It sometimes happens that men go into university athletics which require more strength than they have, and the over-exertion and strain produces permanent physical injury. Dr. Darling believes that systematic medical examination, conjoined with the present strength tests, would aid the trainer in finding out the causes for "staleness" among athletes, might detect its approach in time to prevent it; and would...
...system as practised--a system under which one man is given the responsibility of distributing outside of and at the same time with the regular distribution, several thousand tickets according to his discretion. These tickets are given out in all parts of the field; the position depending upon the strength of the applicant's claim. Is it surprising that under the stress of such a responsibility the management finds itself unable to distribute the other tickets according to schedule, that, for instance, H. A. A. members, contrary to agreement, were assigned seats on or behind the goal lines, while ordinary...
Behind the line, Marshall, Kernan and Graydon should hold their positions. L. J. Daly '03 and D. A. Baldwin '03 seem to be the next strongest candidates for quarter, with the chances in favor of the former, whose strength on the offense and ability to drop-kick more than offset the latter's strong defensive work. T. G. Meier '04 and D. D. L. McGrew '03 are strong, but slow candidates for fullback, and R. Derby '03, J. A. Knowles '03, G. L. Jones '03, A. W. Swann '03 and O. C. Mackay '04 are reliable halfbacks. It is possible...
