Stanford and Southern California lived up to expectations leading the field in the number of men qualified, the former with 14 and the latter with 10. Although Stanford enters today's competition still a heavy favorite to carry off championship honors, the most surprising upset of the first day occurred to one of the Californians best runners. Emerson Spencer, generally picked to depose Cecil Cooke, giant Syracuse negro, from his place as the premier quarter miler in college ranks, was forced out of the meet by falling to take better than a fourth in his qualifying heat...

Dr. Barnes, in short, is a person who couples action with his unconventional convictions...

The writing of this little tribute to insanity and mental vagrancy is fairly definite proof that no such glorious prank was played on the steamship company; at least by this party, but the excitement attendant upon such an event has completely upset our mental processes and we can think of nothing better to do than reminisce and wait for that nine weeks distant moment when we too shall join that vast company which goes down to the sea and then into the ships...
