To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

There are certain events in track which, all things being equal, should certainly be won by Harvard, and--while we concede Yale nothing, there are some which will probably not fall to us. A third class, however, remains unclaimed even on paper by Harvard or alien backers, and which are free to the taker as it were. The broad jump is one of this class; the sprints are others. From their pages on the entry books all the men who placed in these last year have graduated, and their shoes are yet to be filled. If we can train up to win these events, the season is ours, and if Harvard men, even though they have little confidence in their powers now, will turn out today with a will and take advantage of Quinn's and Donovan's coaching till the trials come, a long step toward victory will have been taken--Harvard will be nearer "First."

And a word to the Freshmen on whom hang the hopes of 'Varsity teams to comes there are thirteen events to win, none to lose; yet time, and work, and training alone can lead to success.

Aside from the help which men reporting early and regularly give the team, there is the good they do themselves. Nor is health the only prize to be won at practice, for there it is that friendships are made with some of the best men among us--the others who are working for the University. PAUL, R. WITHINGTON '12.
