...only what is good for him without a training table. It is obvious, however, that his chances of keeping a wholesome diet are greater when his food is specially prepared than when he merely eats around Cambridge. Furthermore, while track men do not need team work in the same sense as baseball and crew, they will benefit by the moral effect of being thrown together. To be successful they should talk track, eat track, and live track. Our team has an excellent opportunity of winning the intercollegiate meet. Any step that may hurt those chances is poor economy...
Fortunately it is true that as far as ability is concerned there is little wrong with the track team. But ability is not all. Training, especially that of diet, is more essential in the development of point-winners among the track and field representatives than in either of the other two spring athletics. Although the individual athletes have developed steadily throughout the season, there has been but little advance made in arousing that element most necessary to success in all sports, and so difficult to attain in the case of track: team spirit.

Backyard gardens supply part of the demand for supplementary foods, but they do not relieve the crying need for staples. Appeals to the actual farmers only create irritation, since, with the labor and equipment available, they have always produced to the limit of their capacity in times of peace as in time...
...boats are coming! At least so the Kaiser has informed the world. Thired of his meagre diet of English and French ships, the War Lord looks for new cannon-food, new worlds to conquer. To pursue the elusive Fall River liners is Wilhelm's latest ambition; to shell Revere would terrorize the Americans,--would soon end the war. It is indeed a rosy picture with which to lure on the terrible Teuton...
