...seconds, was made by P. J. Taylor of Cornell in the Stadium two years ago. The other two new records were made in the field events. J. Horner, Jr., of Michigan, put the shot 45 feet, 7 1-8 inches, 1 5-8 inches beyond the mark made by W. F. Krueger of Swarthmore four years ago in the Stadium. H. S. Babcock of Columbia cleared the bar at 12 feet, 8 3-8 inches, in the polevault, which breaks the intercollegiate and collegiate records. The I. C. A. A. A. A. record, which was broken, was established...
...three records equalled were in the dashes, the 100, 220, and 440. R. C. Craig of Michigan won both his trial and final heats of the shorter dash in 9 4-5 seconds. The officials were doubtful whether the first mark should stand as equalling the record, for a slight wind was blowing behind the runners. The time of the final heat was unquestionable. In the furlong final Craig equalled the second of B. J. Wefer's sprinting records, breaking the tape in 21 1-5 seconds. The intercollegiate quarter-mile record of 48 4-5 seconds, made...
...yard race for the Dodge cup yesterday afternoon was won by H. W. Kelley '11. The other starters were W. B. Adams '13, K. S. Billings '12, and D. P. Ranney '12. Billings took the lead at the start, but Kelley passed him at the 50-yard mark. From here it was nip and tuck to the finish line, Kelley winning by about two feet in 22 3-5 seconds. Adams was a good third and Ranney a poor fourth. Last year the race was won by L. Watson '10, and the year before by R. C. Foster...
...MacVeagh, of Exeter, won the twentieth annual Harvard interscholastic tennis championship yesterday afternoon at Jarvis Field by defeating G. C. Caner, of St. Mark's, 9-7, 6-2, 6-4. The winner played a very severe, fast game, using an unusually well placed, high-bounding twist service and forcing the play at all times. Caner, though placing beautifully and playing in form very similar to Clothier's, gave MacVeagh many chances to rush the point and was not sufficiently aggressive. After MacVeagh had overcome a lead of 5-4 and 40-15 against him in the first...
...were defined, and if the terms of election were arranged so that the best scholars could make the society earlier in their course, there is no doubt but that the members, and through them, scholarship in general, would have greater prominence in undergraduate life. Secondly, the system of detailed marking at Harvard is not such as to encourage thinking in a broad way. It is often too much of a temptation to work for the mark alone, which of course defeats the end of true scholarship. Again, it is often said that in certain courses a man cannot know anything...
