...laps, when he was only a yard behind. M. H. Wilson, taking the place of Campbell on the Yale team, was second, and opened up a 35-yard lead over W. F. Eaton '22. J. W. Burke '23, running third man for the Crimson, instead of anchor, against E. Vander Pyl was able to make up all but five yards of this on his opponent, and J. E. Merrill '24 started the final turn close on the heels of M. K. Douglas, the star of last year's Blue Freshman team. The half-mile was too much for Merrill, whose...
Eaton and Merrill held their own with the Princeton runners, but Chute fumbled the baton, and Stevenson handed over a large lead to Conger, the Orange anchor man. Burke, running last for the University, gained 50 yards on his opponent, and pushed him hard at the end, but failed to overtake...

F. Eaton '22 will run the other long distance turn, and Richard Chute '22 and J. E. Merrill '24 will run the quarter-mile laps. Columbia, according to all accounts, has developed a strong quartet, and should give the Crimson relay men a stiff battle...
...counted upon as sure point winners for tomorrow, Captain Read who has run under the two-minute mark repeatedly in the helf-mile this spring, should be able to place in this event; while Campbell, all-round middle distance man, should of course capture first, Campbell ran anchor men on the two-mile Yale relay team at the Penn Carnival and turned in the time of 1.54, for his 100 ft. yard section. He is also capable of done the mile in close to 4 minutes, 20 seconds, Seimens and Willson are two other milers who should place...
