...Here is another example of how transportation costs affect the industry and commerce of a country. Transportation of graiff from the interior is usually by means of flat-boats and barges. One would imagine that this would be one of the cheapest forms of transportation there is, since there would be no lack of fuel charges, and the labor can be hired for a few cents a day. Yet in 1917, when wheat was selling for about eight cents a bushel at the place of production, the transportation charges from there to the United States were so great that...

...lost due to the method of passing the baton. This was especially noticeable in the triangular meet with Dartmouth and Cornell, and in the Freshman meet with Andover. The couple of yards difference which would have been made by accurate passing of the baton would have been enough to affect the result of the race. In the Andover meet the passing was so awkward that the Freshmen, although they won, nearly fell over each other...
