EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON : In the account of Saturdays handicap meeting the time 8 min. 5 sec. for the mile walk is spoken of as "slow." It is not remarkably fast time, it is true ; but it is not "slow." It is better than the best Yale record (8 m. 13 sec).

Murray tried to beat the heel-and-toe record for one mile. He made the half in 3m. 2 2-5s., and finished the full distance in 6m. 36 1-2s. The best on record is Eugene R. Merrill's 6m. 32 3-5s. ; Merrill's time for half a mile is 3m. 3s., which Murray beat by a fraction of a second. On the same occasion L. E. Myers...
