...Mott Haven team leaves for New York. For six successive years Harvard's representatives have won the cup, emblematic of the championship in inter collegiate track athletics. If we win this year the cup will be the permanent property of Harvard because it will then be impossible for any other college to win it an equal number of times. Harvard's team this year is of unusual strength; so is that of Yale. All of our men who won prizes in New York last year, except Fogg, '85, are still in the team. Besides this there are several...

Altogether, the prospect for the Mott Haven team was never so good. In all probability, Harvard can win in New York the same events as last year, and ought also to add those in which her men hold inter-collegiate records. The H. A. A. should be congratulated that its track athletes have shown themselves so worthy to protect the Mott Haven...
