...University team showed surprising strength in the 440-yard run and the high jump. In the former event Blumer, Kelley, Merrithew, and deSelding all won their way to the finals, and in the high jump Harwood, Lawrence and Pope are left. Captain Rand showed his best form in both the hurdle races and Foster ran strongly in his heat in the 220-yard dash. Captain Rand established a new Harvard record in the 120-yard hurdles by winning his heat in 15 2-5 seconds...
Foster of Harvard and Dawbarn of Princeton were both winners of their heats in the 220-yard dash. The latter made the best time, but was more closely pressed. Foster had and easy win from Gamble of Princeton, Newll of Pennsylvania, and McArthur of Cornell, in 22 1-5 seconds. Minds of Pennsylvania and Hawley of Dartmouth were closely matched for second in Dawbarn's heat, which was won in 21 4-5 seconds. Watson of Harvard won his way to the semi-finals by taking fourth. Cary of Yale did not start and is definitely out of the meet...
...final result of the shot-put is still a matter of considerable doubt. Krueger of Swarthmore was unable to make his best put in competition and unless he does considerably better today he is likely to lose to Little of Harvard and Horner of Michigan who were second and third yesterday. Talbott of Cornell seems to have a safe lead over Coy of Yale for fourth place and it is not likely that he will be able to increase his distance enough to take third...
Talbott of Cornell made the best distance in the hammer-throw with 150 feet, 2 1-2 inches. He is practically sure of first place and will undoubtedly increase his distance today. Horr of Syracuse, with 144 feet, 10 inches, is assured of second place. In spite of Cooney's failure to qualify, Yale still has a chance for points with Andrus and Goebel. Cornell may take a point with Sullivan, who threw 135 feet, 8 1-4 inches...
...five men who were retained for the broad jump were closely bunched between 21 feet 9 inches and 21 feet 6 1-2 inches. Mayhew of Brown made the best jump, with Nixon of Cornell an inch behind. Babcock of Columbia was a quarter of an inch behind Nixon, and Cook of Cornell a quarter of an inch behind Babcock. Kilpatrick, although he finished fifth yesterday, is still a prominent candidate for first or second place. Cook has a lame ankle and may not be able to improve his mark to any great extent...
