...sprints are not promising from a Crimson point of view. Comins, the Eli crack runner, is capable of 10 1-5 seconds in the shorter dash, and 22 seconds in the 220-yard event. This is better than any of the Crimson entries have shown up to the present time. Murphy should win second place in the 100-yard event, with Field and de Rham batting for third place with Page, another Eli who has done good time.

...hard-fought contest at Soldiers Field on Saturday, the Freshman lacrosse team met defeat at the hands of the crack Boston Lacrosse Club team by a score of 9 to 4.

The latter recently overwhelmed the Technology Freshmen, taking ten places in the 14 events. Wolfe, who broke the school 12-pound hammer record in the meet by hurling the ball 167 feet 2 inches, and Allen, who was timed in 2 minutes 3 seconds for the 880-yard run, are two certain point-winners for the Blue team...
...University gym team went down to a 30-24 defeat at the hands of the crack Dartmouth aggregation Saturday afternoon in the Hemenway Gymnasium. Though the Crimson outpointed its opponents in three of the six events, it could not make up for the shut-out in the tumbling...
