Harvard won first place in the shot by a put of Finlay's of forty feet. Elcock of Yale was second and Evins of Harvard third...
...hammer throwing was wonderfully good. Finlay made six throws; the first 102 feet, 6 in., the second 103 ft., 2 in., the third 105 ft., 4 1-2 in., the fourth 106 ft., 8 in., the fifth 107 ft., 5 in. This throwing beats the former American record of 108 ft., 3 in., held by Coudon of the N. Y. C. A. As this game is not practiced in England, Harvard now holds the world's record in hammer throwing without a run. Evins of Harvard took second place with a throw of 96 ft., 4 in., Elcock of Yale...
...dangerously near another Harvard event. Williams, J. C. Hammond and A. L. Reynolds were in the contest for Yale, and Bloss and J. Hale were the Harvard men. Williams' best jump was 21 ft. 1 in., and Bloss was a very good second with a jump of 21 feet. Hale took third place with...
...seconds, looking around sometimes to see the two Yale men, Van Ingen and Pearce. William of Yale took the second heat in 26 1-5 sec., with Fearing second. The final heat, which came after the half mile run, was exciting. Lee first took a lead of several feet over Williams, but when the race was nearly half over Williams began to work harder and seemed, to those spectators who were opposite the men at that spot, to be in a fair way to win the race. Lee kept his lead, however. At about the eighth hurdle either Williams struck...
...taking it for granted that Sherrill will run. He may be counted on to win the one hundred and the two-twenty yards dashes. Yale is also practically certain to win first in the high hurdles, the broad jump, and the pole vault. Williams has done twenty-one feet, ten and three-quarters inches, in the broad jump, after having run two heats in the high hurdles. Again, it is doubtful whether Harvard will take first in the mile run. To be sure, Lowell has done 4 min., 34 1-5 sec., and can be counted on to do better...
