Competition for ownership of the Mount Auburn Bicycling and Clambake Foundation Award will break out anew tomorrow afternoon in a boat race and baseball game between the members of the CRIMSON and Lampoon boards, it was admitted at a late hour last night. This annual feature of the spring season will be run off in a series of short jumps beginning at 16 Plympton Street at 2.30 o'clock...
