There will be seven events in which Harvard men will take part, namely: a relay race with the Boston Athletic Association, each man to run 390 yards, 40-yard dash, 600-yard run, one-mile run, shot-put, high-jump, and half-mile run. The half-mile run is open only to Harvard men, and it will be the first of a series of such runs for a cup given by H. Watson '10.

...feet, 3 1-4 inches, the result was a tie for second. The points for second and third were divided giving Harvard 2 1-2. The University team was shutout in the hammer-throw and the broad-jump as no men qualified in Friday's preliminaries. In the high-jump, however, Harvard unexpectedly scored more points than in any other event. By tieing for first place with Canfield of Yale and Palmer of Dartmouth, R. G. Harwood '09, S. C.

...brief summary of the material already developed shows the team to be fairly strong in the hurdles, the middle distances, and the shot-put, high-jump and pole-vault. There are a few sprinters and broad-jumpers. A victory over Yale or a creditable showing in the intercollegiate meet can hardly be hoped for unless more and better men are developed in the dashes, the distances, and the hammer-throw. A great deal of Yale's victory and Harvard's success in the field events this year was due to the improvement in the material already at hand by means...
