Captain Bingham's injury on Friday was a great disappointment as his chances in the quarter mile were very good. As it was, however, through the excellent work of Vincent and Mansfield, Harvard made as good a showing in this event as could have been expected, as Koch of California would probably have won at least third in any case...

The chances are that he will beat Hollister of Harvard, but the latter ran a wonderfully fast race in the Harvard-Yale games and has almost as good a chance to win as Kilpatrick. Orton of Pennsylvania is likely to take third place...
...very evenly matched, and include some of the fastest runners in this country. Orton ought to win the race unless he is tired out in the half mile. Jarvis of Pennsylvania and Morgan of Yale should take second and third places respectively though if Kilpatrick starts in this event he is likely to win a place...

Gary of Dartmouth has had more experience in racing than any of the other men and is probably a faster rider than Goodman of Princeton who won last year.
