Outing.

Outing for June has several articles which are well worth the perusal of all Harvard men interested in athletics. All Mott Haven men or those who have been candidates for the Mott Haven team will enjoy Malcolm W. Ford's valuable paper entitled "Distance Running," a companion article to his "Sprinting" which appeared in the May Outing. In it Mr. Ford gives an excellent exposition of the best methods of training for long distance running, and the most effective ways of getting into good condition. The article is well illustrated by portraits of the most famous distance men, including Myers, Conneff, George, and W. C. Downs, H. U. '90, of the latter of whom a special account is given.

Another interesting article is one on "Scientific Tennis Strokes" by J. Parmly Paret, the first of a series of papers on the subject. In it Mr. Paret dwells at some length on the most effective ways of serving, both from a scientific and a physical standpoint and cites, as examples of particular style, Howard Taylor, Deane Miller, Billings, and Beach, pictures of all of whom in the act of serving are given.

Another good athletic paper is that on "Cricket in New England and the Longwood Club," by Will Roff, in the course of which several references are made to the Harvard Cricket Club, and a picture given of the Longwood grounds while a match is under way.

A second installment of that much heralded bit of college fiction, "Harry's Career at Yale," appears in this number and is as yet entirely without plot. We doubt very strongly whether many men would be impelled from the reading of the story to desert Harvard for Yale.
