...second race was for doubles and the course was one mile. Stetson and Niles led almost to the finish but swerved from the course and Hughes and Taylor overtook and passed them, winning by five feet. Wells and Youngman finished third.

Considering that Merrill had just won the quarter mile in 51 seconds his work in the 220 was phenomenal and cannot be too highly praised. This made the score 53 for Harvard to Yale's 43 thus making our victory practically certain...
