...high and broad jumps Yale will have its innings to make up for the distance races. Deacon of Yale tied for fourth place in the Intercollegiates with a 6 foot 1 inch jump. But two weeks before in the dual meet with Princeton he cleared 6 feet 3 inches, equalling the meet record. Jones is Harvard's leading entry. Against Princeton he jumped 5 feet 8 3-4 inches, which is about his average height...
...Georgetown-each miss by just half a second his famed intercollegiate records for the quarter, for the half mile, respectively. Together with 7,000 other spectators, he was entertained, that afternoon, by one dramatic event.

Instead of the ratio between Harvard and Yale being 12 to one in these events as in the Intercollegiates, it will be something like...
...quarter the Blue team scored two men. Captain Gage came in second and Paulsen fourth. In the two-mile run another Eli, Briggs, was fourth, behind Tibbetts of Harvard, Barclay of Penn State, and Loucks of Syracuse.
