...intercollegiate run, and one must also have the good fortune to be on the winning team. If the framers of this strange device have any sense of humor they must have smiled at their work. It certainly does not cheapen the "H." One needs not only an extremely good pair of legs, but also a propitious co-operation of the planets before this fantastic coincidence happens to him. The letter might as well be withheld altogether as displayed at such a mocking distance...

By this practice it is evident that Coach Wray has Newton in view as a possible candidate for stroke of the University crew next spring, and by rowing him with Waid in the second crew once a week he can see how well the pair work together, and also better eradicate Newton's tendency to be slow with his hands and body on the recovery.

After the turn the pair drew away from all the other runners except Conger of Princeton, who at one time threatened to displace deSelding from second. Both Merrihew and Kelly of Harvard qualified in the third heat, although the latter barely held his place by tying with Palmer of Haverford for third. Merrihew ran under difficulties...
...together until a steep hill was reached, two miles from the start. Here H. H. Howland of Technology took the lead, closely followed by Jaques and Young. This order was maintained for the first three miles. On the second lap Young took the lead, hard pushed by Dull. The pair were running shoulder to shoulder when they turned into the stretch at the finish. Young with greater reserve forged ahead, winning by a scant eight yards...
