...large number of Harvard men entered for the First Regiment games tonight is encouraging to all who are interested in our success on the track and field in the Spring. It shows that the candidates for the Mott Haven team are keeping up interest in training, and that they understand the value of such experience as is to be gained from these handicap games. It is especially gratifying that many new men are among those entered as experience is what they need above +++ else. Some of the old men who are +++ yet in active training ought to be affected...

The crew men have already been at work for some time with well directed energy. They seem to understand pretty well the task which they have to accomplish. The Mott Haven men should also begin hard work at once. The places of some of the best men on last year's team, men who could always be depended upon to win points, must be filled. If the successes of last...
