...first-place winners for Yale in today's meet. Londan won the Olympics last year in the high-jump, and barring accident should be able to outleap any man on the Princeton squad. Martin and Hannon will also help the Elis in repeating lst year's performance of a clean sweep in the high-jump. Cowles in the broad-jump is pitted against Lourie, who won the event in the dual meet last year. But the latter this season has fallen behind his rival and must improved by at post a foot to defeat him tomorrow. Goodwin should place third...
...results of the two-mile race in the first meet, in which Penn State scored a clean sweep, were a disappointment to Coach Bingham, and in order to strengthen this event Captain O'Connell was shifted from the mile in the University of Pennsylvania meet. The change did not have the desired effect, since the mile was considerably weakened, and the longer distance impaired Captain O'Connell's ability to make a strong enough sprint at the finish. It is unlikely that this experiment will be tried again, and during the next few weeks the coaches will spend a good...
Harvard defeated Oglethorpe 5-2 in their battle at Ponce de Leon Park yesterday afternoon, but it did something else.

Murphy '22 caught well, and featured at the bat with two doubles. A. J. Conlon '22 was the most consistent hitter, getting three clean drives out of four times at bat, while his bare-handed stop of a hard grounder, was, together with Owen's reach for a high throw, the shining point in the game...
...Finnegan's error. The Crimson failed to seize its chance, however. Buell's grounder to short forced Thayer at the plate, and the next two men filed out. The second tally came in the fourth, as a result of a pretty triple by A. B. Blair '21 and a clean single by George Owen...
