The guards on both sides covered closely and easy shots were rare. The second half started with a rush and Andover soon pulled up on the Freshmen.

The officials of the meet then announced that to save time they would have a short race, each man to run 390 yards. This was not the Yale distance and the team was withdrawn. Cornell had a 390-yard team, one of the best in the country, and entered...
