First of all, it seems a great pity that the western trip of the musical clubs had to be abandoned. Coming from the west myself, I can remember the mild sensation caused in more than one family circle by the posters announcing the approach of the "Harvard University Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs." It is astonishing how little is known about Harvard in anything but a general way throughout the middle states. So it was that a single concert, heralded long be fore its arrival, did much to decide in the minds of many the important question of where...
...team was slow at the times when a little fast work was especially needed. The handling of punts was very accurate, the backs making no fumbles and usually succeeding in getting a good start before being downed. The most exciting feature of the game was Amherst's near approach to scoring at the end of the first half, when Morse's fifty yard run on a blocked kick took the ball to Harvard's five yard line. Kendall's plunging through the tackles and his running was the best he has done thus far. J. Lawrence and Blagden were successful...
Princeton's nearest approach to scoring was in the first inning, when with one out, Kafer singled, stole second, and went to third on Pearson's out. Meier ended the inning by striking out. In the second inning Coolidge's error and Burke's stolen base gave Princeton a man on second with only one out, but Green struck out and Hutchinson was retired at first. Princeton did not reach second again until the ninth inning, when Stillman hit Steinwender and gave Meier a base on balls. There were two outs, however, and when Wendell caught Hillebrand...

Hoyt of Harvard has not been able this year to approach his old time form, and Prouty is suffering from a lame ankle. The latter may, however, secure a place, as his work has improved great over that of last year...
...same radius. This radius is so short that the sudden pronounced change from straight-away to turn exerts a detrimental effect upon the gait and speed of the runner. In the new track this difficulty has been removed by the introduction of a gradual transition curve in the approach at either end. This transition curve is in three tangent area, each twenty feet in length. The radius of the first is three hundred and eighty two feet, thus making the departure from the straight-away very gradual. In the second, the radius is shortened to one hundred and ninety...
