Yale Shut out in the One Mile Walk and the Running High Jump - Corbin Wins the Half Mile...
...surprises and showed very clearly that track athletics is a "mighty uncertain critter" to make any prophecies about. Who would have been willing to prognosticate, for example, that Corbin would get first prize in the half mile run out of the clutches of Will Wright himself? Or that Wright of Harvard would have to content himself with second place, owing to an unfortunate misunderstanding about the exact position of the finish line? Or that Stillman would beat Evins in the hammer throwing? Or that Wade of Yale would be better by a place than R. H. Davis of Harvard...
...even greater hope-shattering effect upon Yale men. For W. B. Wright of Yale, who was looked upon as a sure winner by Harvard as well as Yale, finished only second. Wright set a lively pace at the very start and led up to the last stretch when Corbin of Harvard, who had been running a splendidly-judged race, made the prettiest spurt of the afternoon, and crossed the line first amid the enthusiastic cheering of the Harvard delegation. For it was Harvard's winning six points, (Batchelder finishing third in this event) which put Yale behind in the total...
...following men will compose the team: J. S. Cook '92, G. F. Brown '92, O. K. Hawes '92, W. L. Thompson '93, S. M. Merrill '94, E. W. Pinkham '92, W. H. Wright '92. G. I. Batchelder '92, J. Corbin '92, C. G. Hubbell '92, H. C. Lakin '94, J. O. Nichols L. S., G. Lowell '92. G. Collamore '93, A. L. Endicott '94, C. R. Bardeen '93, J. L. Norton '95, O. W. Shead '93, G. R. Fearing '93, W. N. Duane '92, A.H. Green '92, T. E. Sherwin '94, S. H. Evins L. S., R. H. Davis...
...absurd to expect them to capture all three places. Merrill and Pinkham will have a hard fight for second place with the chances somewhat in Merrill's favor. Wright of Yale will of course take first in the half mile run, while Harvard's hopes lie in Corbin for second and Batchelder for third, possibly Lakin. These two events ought to give Harvard a fair lead over Yale...
