...University track team for the season of 1919-20. Moore has been the leading point-winner of the track squad this year, placing first in both dashes in the dual meets with M. I. T., Yale, and Princeton. In the Intercollegiates, Moore came in second in the furlong and third in the century event. Moore's best time for the shorter sprint is ten seconds flat, which he made in the semi-finals of the Intercollegiates. In the M. I. T. Meet, Moore ran the 220 in 22 and 1-5 seconds, a record which he has not equaled since...
...relay races, but in the first one the man who runs first will cover a quarter of a mile, the second man a half-mile, the third, three-quarters of a mile, and the last a mile, while in the other race the first two men will run a furlong each, the third a quarter-mile, and the fourth a half-mile. These events have been added in order to give the smaller colleges, which are frequently without good quarter-milers a chance to use the best track talent that they possess...

...Cornell of Yale proved the most successful point-getter by winning both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. In the first race he was followed by his team-mate Rudell with W.B. Adams '13 third. The furlong race was more fiercely contested. It was the last race of the day, and by securing first and second Harvard might have tied the score, or, by winning all three places might have won. Tied for second place, W. B. Adams '13 and R. Tower '15, hurled themselves headlong toward the tape after Cornell, Adams going head over heels and almost into...
Cornell of Yale seems the most probable winner in the century and furlong dashes, although Rudell, his teammate and R. Tower '15 or W. B. Adams '13 will press him hard and may win either of these races...
