...make a good showing in this race. The 220-yards is a doubtful race; Thibault will make a strong effort to win it. Robinson, '90, took second place last year against Rogers, of Harvard. Every man in the University who is at all good at running this distance should train for it, for the winning of this event may secure the cup for Yale...

Meanwhile, those men who are working must train all the harder, and learn from '90's crew what can be done with bad material by the hardest kind of work. The men now training...
