...fell to Cuyler of Yale in 4 min. 40 7/8 sec., Thorndike, '81, Harvard, running a plucky race for second place. The first half of the distance was covered by Thorndike in 2 min. 9 sec., but he could not hold the pace and tired on the last lap. Soren won the standing high jump with a record of 4 ft. 6 3/4 in., jumping 4 ft. 10 in afterward as an exhibition jump.

Herrick, who covered the distance in 8 min. 18 sec., Hoyt dropping out on the first lap, and Luce distanced. The 100-yard dash for Sophomores was secured by Wendell in 10 5/8 sec., Perrin a good second, and Haupt about 5 yards in the rear. The sports closed with a walk over for Haupt in the hurdle race, after which the spectators dispersed to speculate...
