It is a great pleasure to congratulate the Harvard athletes who made such an excellent showing at the B. A. A. games Saturday night. They succeeded in repeating the achievement of last year, when Harvard scored more points than any other athletic association; and in addition a Harvard man again established a new world's record. The number of new men who did well is especially encouraging, and the experience gained will be a great help for all new men. The work done at this meeting is the first valuable indication of what Harvard may expect from her track and field athletes in the intercollegiate athletics of the spring. The prospect in the runs, both sprints and distance, seems very good. From the large number of men in training for these events some valuable material is sure to be developed. In the other events it is hard to say much; the number of candidates is not large and no men of especial promise have shown up yet. The trainer needs a large number of men to work on in these events just as in all others, and it is unfortunate that there are not more candidates for the Mott Haven team training for other events than the runs.
