Eastern colleges had small consolation, except that Hallowell of Harvard won a great mile race, Harvard's red-headed hurdler, Eugene Record, won the 120-yd. high hurdles, and Joe McCluskey of Fordham won the two-mile run after falling down and rolling in the cinders on the first turn.

Hope is now, however, still entertained at New Haven that the star hurdler will be able to enter competition next Saturday against Harvard; if he does this and gets through without physical mishap, he should make a successful bid to defend his championship next week...
...competition, donated by W. F. Garcelon '95, consists of six miniature hurdles which are awarded to six men for proficiency in the hurdles. The races are of varying distances, with both low and high hurdle competition; and they are being run off as the weather permits. Garcelon was a hurdler in college, winning a track "H" in a meet with Yale in 1893, when he was clocked at 26 2-5 seconds in the 220-yard hurdles...
