...varsity nine played Williams a game Saturday which was a sharp contrast to the last game between the two nines when Harvard won 16 to 1. The game was very close and exciting, and Harvard did not get the winning run until the last half of the ninth inning. Both Highlands and Howe pitched good, steady games, only a few scattered hits being made off each of them. The fielding of both nines was very loose, not one of the runs being earned...
...Last year although Harvard felt confident of winning, a change of our first place would have reversed the final result; this year when our chances were considered far more doubtful, the score of 67 to 45, surpassed all expectations. During the greater part of the games, however, the extremely close score, now with Harvard and now with Yale ahead, kept the interest of the spectators up to the highest pitch. It was not until the final heat in the 220 yards dash which Merrill, after taking first in the quarter mile, won by the most brilliant running of the afternoon...
...heat between Sayer and Jones was a surprise. Time 10 4-5. Baker, Lefurgey and Whittren of Harvard, Richards and Anderson of Yale made up the second heat.

It was won by Lefurgey in 10 3-5 sec. with Richards second and Sayer third...
...Davis and Holmes represented Harvard in the first heat of the two mile bicycle race, while Brewster and Parmelee rode for Yale.

In the second heat were Glenny and Alling of Yale, and Pratt of Harvard. On the last curve of the sixth lap Glenny and Pratt...
From beginning to end the mile walk was a most interesting race. From the reports of the time by Wight of Yale, it was expected that the race between him and Endicott would be very close but as the most of the spectators could not tell which was Wight, the positions of the men at the end of the first lap caused some doubt as to the final result. The men who started were Endicott, Bardeen and C. W. Norton for Harvard, Wight, F. S. Bunnell, S. H. Bunnell and Hoyt for Yale. The race on Yale's part...
