...University team started off with a sprint at the first of the race, Fuller being in the lead at the turn up the hill. Fuller and Bancroft were still ahead at the top of the hill, closely followed by the leading Cornell runners who were well bunched. The latter kept together and gradually opened up a lead as the race advanced. Captain Twitchell came up several places, while G. A. King '18, who had been well up, was forced to drop out when seized by cramps. In the last part of the race Windnagle and Hoffmire put on added speed...
...Freshman cross-country team lost to Worcester Academy at Worcester on Saturday by a score of 24 to 31 over the Union Hill Course. Captain J. D. Hutchinson '19 led the way to the finish ahead of Worcester's star runner, Higgins, in 19 minutes, 22 3-5 seconds for the three and one-half miles.

Standish finished far in the rear. Smith's time was 5.36 which is very good for the course, though a slight following wind aided the oarsmen...
...have developed much scoring ability, being able to get only six points against the comparatively weak Bucknell eleven last week. In Glick Princeton has an excellent general and a good man both in running with the ball and also in the interference. As a punter Driggs, is far ahead of the Syracuse kickers. The Princeton line has suffered so far through lack of coaching, but this ought to improve now that Cooney has returned to take care of that department of the game. On the whole, the backfield, composed of Captain Glick, Driggs, Tibbott, and Shea, has proved...
