...Columbia College athletic team has been working very hard this year and expects to make a good showing next Saturday at the intercollegiate games on the Berkeley track...
...probable that more than twenty of these will compete. Sherill '89, captain of the team, is running in fine form, and is generally considered a winner of the 100 yards dash and the 220 yards dash, although Lee and Moen of Harvard, may push him hard. Shearman, '89 has twice won the broad jump, and once the pole vault. He has improved in both these events this year, having vaulted 10 feet 5 inches recently.

Last year we lost, but this year in spite of many disadvantages we hope to see the crimson come out victorious. The lacrosse team has been hard at work, and if diligence in practice and faithfulness in training count for anything, we may certainly hope to greet our team...
