...yard dash in the dual meet and was the only man to get a place in the sprints in the intercollegiate games last spring, will be felt severely, as there is no man at present, able to win a second place in these events. Men who should develop into good sprinters by spring are L. Watson '10, E. V. B. Parke '08, and P. Edwards '08. Yale will have back L. B. Stevens '08, who won second place in the 220-yard dash, and R. B. Burch '09, who was third in both sprints in the last dual meet...
...point in the broad jump last year, but B. T. Stephenson, Jr., '08, and O. F. Rogers, Jr., '08, have competed in this event before and should be able to win some place. P. C. Haskell '08 and C. C.

...largest elements in turning out teams which can win an even share at least of the largest and most important games they play, is in the coaching of these teams; and it has been proved that it is as important to develop this along consistent lines as it is to develop the team. No team can hope to win which one week plays along one line and the next along another line of play. The coaching staff of this team feels the same influences over a somewhat longer period.
