...supremacy for the academic year 1910-1911. This is the first time since Cornell has entered intercollegiate athletics that she has acquired this position. By winning the championship in five separate sports the Ithacans have beaten the total of 4 1-2 made by Yale, and exceeded anything ever done in this country. Counting each sport as one pint the scores of the first eight institutions follow: Cornell 5, Yale 4 1-2, Harvard 2, Princeton 2, Columbia 1, Pennsylvania 1, Haverford 1, and the Navy 1. Sport.

...following day, Beachey took nearly all the prizes and accomplished one of the most remarkable feats that has been done at any meet this year, by beating, in his Curtis biplane, one of the fastest Bleriot monoplanes, over the Boston Light course. Ovington took second place. A wind of 28 miles an hour was blowing, and on account of this Beachey was the only aviator willing to risk the flight to the Blue Hills observatory and back for the $1,000 prize. He encountered many difficulties on the trip but accomplished it safely in 20 minutes, 22 seconds...
...course of two miles. Immediately following this race the University fours will race over the upper two miles of the course, starting at the Navy Yard and finishing opposite Red Top.

If either crew is disabled...
...half-mile in which the Freshmen were rowing. After the Freshmen dropped out the work became a little ragged but improved greatly when the stroke was quickened a half-mile from the finish. The showing made by the Freshman crew was particularly encouraging considering the poor work they had done previous to their arrival here. E. Curtis at stroke is a great improvement as he has very good rythm and can drive his men well. In the morning both eights were sent over a fast half-mile and the fours were given short sprints. The University four is showing good...
...best work has been done this spring in the two-mile event, in which he holds the College record. This performance came in the spring handicap games, when he covered the distance in 9 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds, breaking the former record by 12 seconds. Against Dartmouth and Yale he had little trouble in carrying off first honors, and in the intercollegiate games he took fourth place in a record-breaking...
