Teams from Harvard, Clark College, Holy Cross, Northeastern, Springfield, and New Hampshire will compete for the cup offered first last year by Dennis O'Connell '21, former Harvard track captain.

Her archaic, flat-footed figure, her tremendous and sagging muscles, her heavy Buddhistic countenance roused a deafening discussion. She was called grotesque, horrible.
