Today's cross-country meet at Syracuse marks the first intercollegiate race held in this country since the war. Besides the University, seven colleges have entered teams: Dartmouth, Yale, Princeton, Colgate, Columbia, Cornell and M. I. T. The race this afternoon is of particular interest in that it will give some indication of the relative strength of the University and Cornell, who will run a dual race next Saturday...
Taking into consideration the fact that the University is running without two of its best men, D. F. O'Connell '21 and C. E. Dexter '22, it is difficult to predict the result of today's race. Cornell has only one man of prominence, McDermott, who ran here three years ago and tied with George King 1 G. B., who was at that time captain of the harriers.

Many crew regatta programs are pasted throughout the scrap-book. One is of particular interest as it tells of the race in which crimson was first taken as the Harvard color. In another place a long clipping from the Transcript tells of the visit to this country of "Albert of Belgium," now King Albert, and of the "chaste reception" accorded him by the University...
...Tuesday the other Freshman crews will meet, and there will also be a race between the third Thayer and Eliot eights. The individual oarsmen in singles, comps, and wherries will monopolize all of Wednesday's program. The entries for these singles races are still open, and men wishing to sign up must see one of the managers as soon as possible. Thursday's races are between the other club crews, including that between the first Thayer and Eliot eights...
