Brown, Brayton, Cummings, Dow, Mason, O'Connell, and Potter received letters for track for the first time.

The past indoor and outdoor track seasons have been "the most successful for Harvard runners of any during the past 11 years", said Coach E. L. Farrell in a statement to the CRIMSON last night. "The team won all indoor and outdoor meets entered except the intercollegiates."
