...meet between the University track team and the Princeton team which is to be held on Soldiers Field tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock will be the closest in which the Crimson runners will take part this year.

Next Saturday's meet will be hard-fought. But Harvard can and must...
...testify to a team's strength, but the nines that Holy Cross has defeated are by no means third rate ones, while some of them are among the strongest contenders for eastern of southern intercollegiate championship. Among these are Princeton, Yale and Vermont. Princeton lost only by the small margin of 4-3, but Yale was swamped 14-1, and on May 7 the Purple again piled up a large score when it crushed Tufts 12-1 at Worcester...
