...certainty, but Aronson was so quick with his throw that the runner was obliged to stay at third. Again in the eleventh Templeton singled to left with a man on second, but the run was prevented by Dana's rapid return of the ball. Currier played a better game behind the bat than on the day before. He caught a remarkable number of foul flies, seven in all. Hicks was a little unsteady at times, but as usual finished strongly...
...mile instead. Consequently all eyes were turned upon Paull, of Pennsylvania, and McGee, of Princeton, as the most likely winners. For the first quarter Paull allowed his team-mate Tyson to set the pace. With McGee and Laird of Princeton and Coney of Yale he followed just behind the pace-maker. At the end of the first lap, however, Paull stepped into the lead, and from that time until the finish was never headed or even approached. For a while the two Princeton runners tried to hold the pace, but at the half mile Paull led by twenty yards, McGee...
...beating the mark of 12 feet 1 1-8 inches, set by himself and five others in the preliminaries Friday. In several other events, records were closely approached.

The finals found all four men in their best form. Hartranft led at first, but was passed by Howe a safe distance from the end. Rand beat out Talcott for third place...
...whom little was known. At the very start the Michigan runners took the leading positions. For the first three-quarters of a mile Hall, West and Dull, all of Michigan, ran in that order. Lightner of Yale was in fourth place, with Taylor of Cornell and Jaques several yards behind. On the fourth lap the first important change occurred when Taylor moved up into the lead. For a while Lightner of Yale took the lead, but when the final race for positions began he dropped rapidly behind. Early in the last lap Taylor began to sprint, Dull doggedly holding...
