Merrihew has made the fastest time of the year in the 440-yard run and is looked upon as the probable winner. Hitchcock of Cornell is a fast runner and may be stronger than Merrihew for tomorrow's race. LaMontagne of Yale has been rapidly regaining his form and may show enough improvement to be among the foremost.

Warren and Guild of Harvard are strong runners and if they qualify this afternoon may be able to take a place tomorrow...

...game on Saturday was slow and uninteresting, and at no time was the Harvard goal threatened. Voshell and Foster played the fastest game for the Freshmen and it was only due to the good defensive work of Palmer, the Columbia goal, that Harvard was prevented from scoring more times...
