...story is of a young aristocrat who left military service to become a government clerk that he might have more time for music. Borodin remembered him in the early days as a foppish fellow who played bits from Trovatore and Traviata but that pretty stage passed swiftly. A peasant streak came out.

The mile, and possibly the two mile, are conceded to the Crimson. The high hurdles and the high jump balance this advantage with two Yale monopolies. Eight points are granted to the Blue in both the 880 and 440 yard dates, but the same totals for the Crimson in the javelin...
