...rowed against Cornell last year, all of them have had considerable invaluable racing experience, and the crew averages nearly five pounds more to the man than the Cornell eight. It has repeatedly beaten the strong second University crew by many lengths, a crew which Cornell was only able to beat by a scant length even when it was rowing poorly and with one of its best men out of the boat...
...Harvard, Palmer of Dartmouth, and Canfield of Yale cleared 5 feet 10 inches, but Harwood and Lawrence of Harvard tied with Rossman of Cornell and Lane of Pennsylvania for the other two places. Lane was the first to be eliminated, and after repeated trials Harwood and Lawrence finally beat Rossman...
...yard dash promises to be a critical event from a Harvard standpoint. Princeton expects Dawbarn to win from Foster, although the latter beat him in the Pennsylvania relay games early in the season. Since then Foster has constantly improved and will be at his best today and tomorrow. Sherman of Dartmouth, who took second a year ago, is not expected to compete as he strained a tendon last week. In his absence third and fourth places should lie between Minds of Pennsylvania, Hawley of Dartmouth, and Cary of Yale. Gamble of Princeton has not been in the best of condition...
...probably not run in the two-mile, and it is not likely that Paull will be able to win from Dull of Michigan after running the mile. The latter was third two years ago when the present record was established. Taylor and Young, both or Cornell, are likely to beat McGee and perhaps Paull...

Rand will have to be at his very best to beat Dwight of Princeton and Talcott of Cornell for second. The points will probably be divided among these four, unless Robbins, of Yale has improved remarkably. In the low hurdles Gardner has an excellent chance of reversing the results of two weeks ago by winning from Howe. It is not at all unlikely that the former will win. For third and fourth places the most prominent competitors are Rand of Harvard...
