...probable that Baker, '86 will try next week to lower his last record in the 220 yards at Beacon Park...
...upon her by a university captain; and the enthusiasm of the spectators dispelled all fears that the college had no interest in the crew. Well, the crew has gone, and there will be a brief week of anxious waiting. Let us hope we shall have two more victories to record, and two more pennants to adorn the walls of the trophy room. The victories must and will come; but if they do not, it will be because the better crew is Yale's or Columbia's; not because Harvard's crew has proved unworthy of herself and the college...

Rogers and Baker were both doing fine running...

The result of this prohibition has been that interest...
Yesterday afternoon the amateur record in the two hundred and twenty yards dash was broken by Wendell Baker, '86. We extend our hearty congratulations to the representative of Harvard who has won such honor for himself and for the college, by his great success. It is gratifying to reflect that this record has been established beyond dispute. The judges and timers were gentlemen of the highest reputation, and prominent in athletic circles, so we may feel sure that this record will never be questioned. It was a beautiful race, and it was fairly won against the only antagonist, time...
