...Record says, "There is a rumor that Harvard has a professional coach." The rumor, we thought, was the other way, though happily it turned out unfounded...
...glancing over the list of best records at Harvard, it seems extremely probable that, with the inducement offered in the Echo Prize Medal, several of them will be bettered at the approaching Spring Meeting; and as, however wisely the judges may decide, it would be difficult to give a correct decision as to the respective merits of a man who happened to "break" the record in the Mile Run, for example, and one who secured the Running High Jump, it would seem that dissatisfaction is likely to ensue in the awarding of the trophy. The suggestion therefore may not seem...
...rumor that Mr. L. E. Myers, the wonderful runner of the Manhattan Athletic Club in New York, is to turn professional, is, we are happy to state, entirely without foundation.

On the bar being raised once more to 5 ft. 4 in., Paine succeeded in clearing it at his second trial, while Keene again failed, and the prize was accordingly given to Paine.

The highest record here is 5 ft. 3 in., made by Mr. A. C. Denniston, '83, on Nov. 1, 1879. Owing to an unfortunate mistake, Mr. Denniston's entry failed to reach the Association in time for him to compete on Saturday as he had expected to. The meeting has been...
