...yards between each hurdle, and while "knack" is still a requisite, speed and endurance is more of a factor than in the shorter distance. Last year Harvard had six out of the eight starters in the final 220-yards dash, and, with the chances as they are, can well afford to put some of these into the hurdle race. The men can get practice for the short distance race while training for the longer one. Thus entries can be made in both events, with high hopes in the one, without discouragement in the other.

...Undergraduate Executive Committee of the University Boat Club has recently circulated an urgent appeal to the members of the University for financial aid. Such an appeal we cannot afford to disregard. The committee has made a clear statement of the condition of its affairs, and everyone must see that it is a critical one.

...managed. It is small encouragement to a man practicing on any of the teams to know that after five o'clock he will find the walls of the bath-room lined four deep with shivering mortals and the hot water all gone. If the college can not afford to enlarge the bath-room-which by all means ought to be done-it should at least put in larger pipes and more faucets, and, by more boilers or some other arrangement, manage to keep warm water on hand from five to six, when all the teams are dressing...
