...difficult task to express in cold print our appreciation of the University track team's magnificent work on Soldiers Field last Saturday. The results of the trials on Friday made us rather optimistic, but somehow we could not quite believe that the intercollegiate championship would really be won. But from the very beginning of the afternoon on Saturday, it was apparent that Harvard was making the best showing, and most of the time a comfortable lead was maintained. In several events the University team did better than anyone would have expected, and throughout, the performances were uniformly excellent. After such...
Among other things, the victory showed that Harvard has two of the best track coaches in the country. We knew all along that Coach Quinn would develop some good men in the field events, but Coach Donovan had never been in charge of a Harvard track team before this spring.

Although we were defeated by Yale two weeks...
Yesterday's trials were most encouraging. All the members of the team showed up to good advantage, and qualified wherever they were expected to. With a warm day today, as predicted, there should be an all-around improvement, and although a definite forecast of a big track meet is practically impossible, a very cheerful view can reasonably be taken of Harvard's prospects...
