...Meredith, Penn.; W. A. Barron, Jr., Harvard, second; P. Jansen, Michigan, third; V. Wilkie, Yale, fourth; W. J. Bingham, Harvard, fifth. Time...
...several others dangerously threatened. Cornell maintained its reputation for sterling distance men by winning the half, mile, and two-mile runs, setting new records in the former and latter races. Caldwell proved to be the "dark horse" in the 880-yard run, beating both Brown of Yale and Meredith of Pennsylvania in 1 minute, 53 2-5 seconds, clipping 2-5 of a second from J. P. Jones's record made two years ago. Hoffmire continued to upset calculations when he defeated McCurdy of Pennsylvania in the two-mile run, covering the distance in 9 minutes, 23 4-5 seconds...
Harvard's 11 points were won by four men. Captain W. A. Barron, Jr., '14 secured second in the quarter-mile after a fight with Meredith of Pennsylvania, while W. J. Bingham '16 finished fifth. F. W. Capper '15 added two points in the record-breaking half, and J. Camp '15 made four more by tieing with two others in the pole-vault at 12 feet, 3 inches...
...yard run a great deal depends on the draw. If Barron is fortunate in this respect he should win the race. However, if Meredith, of Pennsylvania, decides to run in the quarter he will make a very dangerous competitor. Janson, of Michigan, should take a place unless he saves himself for the half, and Wilkie, of Yale, and W. J. Bingham '16 should both gain points with Caldwell, of Cornell, Lockwood, of Princeton, and J. C. Rock '15 as other contestants...
Undoubtedly the feature of the day will be the half-mile, with Brown, of Yale, and Meredith, of Pennsylvania, as the chief contenders. The latter, who holds the world's record of 1 minute, 52 1-2 seconds, should win this event, especially if he saves himself for it by keeping out of the quarter. Brown did 1 minute, 54 seconds two weeks ago and can undoubtedly reduce this, but hardly enough to defeat Meredith. At all events, J. P. Jones's record of 1 minute, 53 4-5 seconds, will probably be lowered, if running conditions...
