...weekly from away out in the far-off West, recently, in the exuberance of its enterprise, published a volume of "College Verses" selected from its own collumns and largely also from those of esteemed contemporaries.

Over and over again have we seen our champion runners leaving their opponents in the rear, so much that there was no interest in the race. Now if these second rate opponents had been given starts, there would have been...
