Captain D. W. Comins of the Worcester team surprised everyone by taking first in the 40-yard dash, beating Jenkins by a scant margin. He later on ran lead-off man in the relay against J. E. Merrill, and outran him completely, handing over a quarter-lap lead to the next...
...fast pace, until on the last corner T. Durant of the schoolboys took the inside by a bit of clever running and beat Merrill to the tape by a scant few inches. The 600-yard run was marred by a couple of falls at the beginning of the second lap, when W. Tibbetts, of Worcester, leading, with Thomas Campbell of the 1924 team a few feet behind, tripped on the corner, but got up just in time to spill Campbell, who was forced to hurdle him, landing in the mud at the side of the track. Campbell picked himself...
Neither the 1000-yard run or the mile was decided until the last lap. In the 1000, C. Harris, the only Worcester entry, led most of the way with J. C. White a few yards behind, and D. A.

In the mile, Campbell Newhall '24 led for the first half of the race, with D. Coughlin on his heels all the way. At about...

Yale continued to increase her lead, so that Campbell, running anchor, started off with a lead of half a lap over Captain D. F. O'Connell '21. O'Connell started after Campbell and succeeded in decreasing his lead considerably, but Campbell opened...
