...final heat of the 440-yard run was the next event. Harvard's chances looked bright with four men on the line at the start. As the men neared the turn Merrihew, who had the pole, deSelding, and Kelly were in the front rank with Palmer of Haverford and Leger of Michigan. Blumer was badly boxed and had a hard time keeping on his feet. Coming around the straightaway Palmer, Leger and Merrihew had the best positions. The track was crowded, however, and in the fight for places Merrihew was thrown from his balance and fell headlong fifteen yards from...
Immediately after the semi-final heats of the 100-yard dash and the 120-yard hurdles the contestants lined up for the one-mile run. Harvard was not represented, as it had been decided to enter Jaques in the two-mile instead. Consequently all eyes were turned upon Paull, of Pennsylvania, and McGee, of Princeton, as the most likely winners. For the first quarter Paull allowed his team-mate Tyson to set the pace. With McGee and Laird of Princeton and Coney of Yale he followed just behind the pace-maker. At the end of the first lap, however, Paull...
...which 14 1-10 points were scored. With very few exceptions the Harvard men were at their best. R. C. Foster '11 won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, decisively defeating Dawbarn of Princeton, who had been mentioned as a possible winner. L. Watson '10 qualified for the finals in the 220-yard dash and added the final point to Harvard's score by taking fourth in the last event of the day. The 440-yard run was in one way a disappointment, but in another an agreeable surprise. E. K. Merrihew '10 fell...
...second semi-final heat of the 120-yard hurdles came very near being a surprise. Howe got a bad start and ran third for most of the distance. Hartranft of Pennsylvania led all the way and won in 15 4-5 seconds. Dwight of Princeton held second place until the last hurdle, when Howe overhauled him. In the race for the tape Howe won by inches. Piper of Harvard was fourth. The first heat was somewhat similar, as Rand was behind Robbins of Yale for the first part of the race. Talcott of Cornell won the heat with Rand second...
...second heat. Kelley of Williams shut out Hawley of Dartmouth, McArthur of Cornell, and Burch of Yale by taking third in the first heat. Minds of Pennsylvania and Gamble of Princeton were the others to qualify, keeping Geary of Fordham and Blass of Cornell out of the finals. The anxiously awaited race between Foster of Harvard and Dawbarn of Princeton in the final heat resulted in an emphatic victory for the former. Dawbarn finished only fourth and Craig was Foster's nearest competitor for first. Minds led for the first few yards but could not do better than third...
