...University team showed surprising strength in the 440-yard run and the high jump. In the former event Blumer, Kelley, Merrithew, and deSelding all won their way to the finals, and in the high jump Harwood, Lawrence and Pope are left. Captain Rand showed his best form in both the hurdle races and Foster ran strongly in his heat in the 220-yard dash. Captain Rand established a new Harvard record in the 120-yard hurdles by winning his heat in 15 2-5 seconds...
Records are likely to go in the pole-vault and the hammer throw. In the latter event Talbott of Connell has consistently beaten 160 feet and recently made a throw of 167 feet and 4 inches. Cooney of Yale and Horr of Syracuse are closely matched for second place, while the fourth position should be easy for Andrus of Yale. Yale again stands out conspicuously in the pole-vault. Campbell and Nelson are both practically sure of beating the existing record of 12 feet and the new mark will probably be considerably higher. Barr of Harvard and Cook of Cornell...

Horner of Michigan is a very dangerous competitor and is expected by his team to win the event. Coy and Kilpatrick of Yale and Talbott of Cornell are closely matched for fourth...

A complicated tie for the other points is likely to result between Harwood, Pope and Lawrence of Harvard, Canfield and Reiley of Yale, Rossman of Cornell, Horrax of Williams, and Lane of Pennsylvania...

Kilpatrick of Yale will undoubtedly do better than he did two week sago and is a sure second and a possible first. Nixon of Cornell is the most likely man for third, while Harvard with Little and Long has a chance for a point...
