...meet with Yale at New Haven in 1909, by 12 1-5 seconds, his time for the distance being 9 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds. T. Cable '13, the other record breaker, threw the 16-pound hammer 150 feet, 7 8-10 inches. This was 13 3-10 inches better than the record of 149 feet, 6 1-2 inches, established by H. E. Kersberg '07 in the intercollegiate games in Cambridge in 1907. Both Withington and Cable will receive gold record medals...

...first half-mile the boat was very unsteady, as the men hurried their hands away and did not draw out the finish. During the last part of the race, however, the form was much improved. The turn on the catch was better and the leg drive was stronger. At the finish a stroke of 36 was easily reached. The poor showing of the Freshman eight may be explained largely by the fact that much water had been shipped while the crew was rowing down to the start, and the men were cold from the long wait. No times were given...
