Speaking of athletics, wouldn't it be a good idea to try and arouse a little enthusiasm in bicycling? Cambridge is near the finest roads in America and yet we haven't a rider that can hold a candle to some of the U. of P. men. To be sure our track isn't very well adapted for bicycling but it is as good, I believe, as the track on which the Mott Haven games are held, and for a better training surface there is Chestnut Hill Reservoir, and a road for a couple of miles from it towards Boston (of which road I do not know the name) nearly as good as any track. Part of this lack of interest doubtless is due to the few bicycle races that are held here. It there were given a number of open and handicap road and track races, this fall and next spring, who can doubt but that Harvard could soon show as fast riders as any other college. K. B. '91.
