...provided the expected excitement, and no one could have asked for a more thrilling race, though the record-breaking time of 4:19.6 was a little to fast for red-headed At Northrop; for the race turned into a battle between Cornell's Wreck Wolch and his captain Johnny Meaden, after Northrop had shot his bolt too soon...
...Meaden has been a general favorite to repeat this year; but at the moment it looks as if Harvard's best chance to win any event was right here, for Northrop has been coming along with the two Cornell stars. Al got a fifth in the Outdoor Intercollegiates last season after he had passed the peak of his form; and previously he had doubled to win the 800 and 1500 meter races against Yale.

Meaden won a comparatively slow 880 for the Ithacans on Saturday with Cornell's other crack miler, Howard Welch, taking that event in 4:27.6. But with Northrop in there, everyone expects that the Cornell...
