...colleges, both great and small, are making extensive preparations, and a large field of entries is assured. The track, as our article of yesterday explained, is a new one and has been kept in the very best of order. The number of entries and the character of the track lead one to expect not only well contested races but some very fast time.

It is a work of great delicacy, and some time...

The college clubs are as a rule far better than those of last year, and all are determined to make a hard fight for the lead. The rules of our faculty necessarily do much to handicap the nine, and the lateness of the season is another drawback. In spite of these disadvantages we feel sure that our club will make a good showing, and hope that the students will do their share by encouraging the nine by their presence...
