...Harvard fell down more heavily in the track events than was expected, but rather upset calculations in the jumps. The individual honors of the day go to Captain W. A. Barron, Jr., '14, who, running the dashes in competition for only the second time, secured two firsts without being closely pushed; and to W. F. Potter, of Yale, who captured both hurdle events. J. O. Johnstone '16, in his first meet with Yale, performed unusually well, taking a first in the broad jump and second in the high jump...

Abbot, rounding third, slipped and fell, and was caught at the plate, making the third out.

Willcox, Jr., and Reed of Worcester, the leaders off of the two teams, got away to an even start, but Reed gave his team-mate, Warren, a slight lead at the end. A. O. Phinney '17 regained this, and was a bare yard ahead when he fell at the very end, and before M. C. Hobbs '17 could get away, Keith of Worcester was far ahead. Hobbs held Keith even, but when E. A. Teschner '17, the Freshman anchor man, started after Quimby...
