...handicaps proved to be very satisfactory, and the Athletic Association may well be congratulated on its effort. In a word the meeting was a great success. Mr. T. J. Coolidge's starting was the best ever seen here. The officers were: Referee, Dr. Sargent ; judges, Professor Byerly, Mr. R. D. Sears, and Mr. W. R. Trask. The time-keepers were Mr. Church and Mr. Lathrop, U. A. C., and Mr. C. A. Sawyer; measurers, Messrs. Baker and Storrow; scorer, Mr. R. D. Smith clerk of the course, Mr. W. Burr...
...could do any satisfactory foot-ball playing this season. To make matters worse, Camp, Knapp and Bertron, all good players, were laid up so that they could not practice, while Louis K. Hull, a valuable man, entered the law school and refused to go in the eleven. Now comes word that Hyndman, Peters and Richards are almost certain to play, and perhaps one or more of the others.

But a word to scratch men. Don't feel disappointed if you are beaten. As an old English athlete, a man who had won and lost more races than any of our college athletes have, said, "It is more honor to get beaten off scratch than to win off a start...
...frightful disaster, directs the attention of every student towards what may at any time produce a far greater calamity, namely, the lack of fire-escapes in several of the buildings in the yard. This question has been agitated yearly by the students until it has become almost a by-word, but of a sudden it may turn into a ghastly sort of joke, unless the college takes some definite action in regard to it. The clamors of the students last spring did have some little effect, apparently, on the corporation, for rousing out of their lethargy they gave...
