...opposed them. The feat of Captain W. J. Bingham was a remarkable one, for he raced the best middle-distance runners in the country. He was hard pressed by Higgins of Holy Cross and Caldwell of the B. A. A., but managed to out-sprint them in the last lap. The time was exceptionally fast, 1 minute 14 2-5 seconds...
...intense competition. The runners who will make the trip are: Captain W. J. Bingham '16, A. Biddle '16, J. Coggeshall '18, H. W. Minot '17, T. R. Pennypacker '16, E. A. Teschner '17, and W. Willcox, Jr. '17. The University will probably enter two races, the one or two-lap event and the medley. In the medley relay there will be four runners on each team, the first man running 2, the second 4, the third 6, and the last man 8 laps. At the shorter distance Pennsylvania will be the University's strongest opponent, as that quartet has been...
...lap and 3-lap relay teams will be chosen from the present short distance relay team. Teschner has been the leading-off man for the 390 distance so far this winter. He was slow in rounding into shape, but his ability in the race against Cornell and lately against the B. A. A. has shown that he is now at the top of his form. His racing experience and fast starting make him a valuable man for the important first position as he gets a lead over his opponent as a rule at the first corner, which he can maintain...
...lap relay will be picked from Bingham, Biddle, Minot, Coggeshall, and Donahue. Minot has been running well this winter and recently won the 300-yard race at Hartford, and performed exceptionally well in the race against Yale at the B.A.A. games. Biddle has displayed ability at the middle distance which makes him a dangerous opponent. Coggehell was captain of the Freshman team first year and although it is his first variety season he has already shown that he is a dependable half and one miler. He has a long easy stride, uses good judgment, and has a beautiful spurt...
...relay race was a fiasco, due to Willcox's tumbles, as a fair estimate could be gained as to how fast the Harvard quartet is travelling at the present time. In its other races it has won handily, only being beaten by the speedy Pennsylvania team. The 2-lap and 3-lap relays should turn out to be the closest and most interesting races. At present the University and the Pennsylvania quartet are the favorites, but Cornell will put up stiff opposition. The 6-lap and medley relays should also be good races. The University will have a tough fight...
