...this time it is doubtless generally known that the Freshman race between Columbia and Harvard has been given up. The action of Columbia, although to be regretted, seems to have been unavoidable. According to the statement of Captain Webb, he had not enough men (only seven, including substitutes) to fill the places in the boat, and therefore it was impossible for Columbia to row the race now. His offer, either to row next fall or to present our Freshmen with a stand of colors, is a sufficient proof of the sincerity and good feeling of Columbia. We are sorry that...
...Sayre of Columbia won the mile-walk very easily, in 7 minutes 49 seconds, Emmerich of Lehigh College second, in 7 minutes 56 seconds, and Huidekoper of Harvard third, in 7 minutes 56 1/5 seconds. In this contest, Emmerich's walk was so manifestly unfair from start to finish that it should have been ruled out at an early stage of the race. Huidekoper walked extremely well, and has had very hard luck in being ruled out at the Columbia Sports for running, and in losing the second prize in the Intercollegiate Sports; since to the incompetency of Mr. Bauermeyer...
...walk-over in the first heat of the 220-yard. Wendell won his heat easily in 25 seconds, and also the final heat in 24 2/5 seconds. Lawson of Columbia won the first heat in the 120-yard hurdle-race in 20 seconds, Cowdin of Harvard winning the second in 19 3/4 seconds, and the final heat easily in 19 2/5 seconds. The other sports worthy of mention were: Throwing the hammer, won by Larkin of Princeton by a throw of 87 feet 1 inch; the running high jump, won by Conover of Columbia by a jump of 5 feet...
Other events were: Standing high jump, Larkin, Princeton, 4 feet 6 3/4 inches; graduate mile-walk, E. J. McIlvane, University of Pennsylvania, 8 minutes 50 4/5 seconds; graduate 100-yard dash, W. Waller, Columbia, 11 1/5 seconds; half-mile run, C. H. Cogswell, Dartmouth, 2 minutes 12 seconds; two-mile walk, R. H. Sayre, Columbia, 16 minutes 49 2/5 seconds; pole aulting, J. B. Waller, Princeton, and F. H. Lee, Columbia, tied at 9 feet...
...earnestly hope that Harvard may be represented in the American Henley. It seems most practicable to enter our Crew for the eight-oared race, in which they would probably meet Princeton and Columbia. This would not interfere with our Yale race, nor would it demand much extra work on the part of the Crew. Less practicable, but still more desirable, would be the entry of a four-oar, as only with a four-oar can we meet Cornell. There are several difficulties in the way of this course which do not present themselves in the case of an eight-oared...
