...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...
...team failed to come up to expectations in practically every event. After qualifying 14 men in the trials Friday and being considered strong in the distances, it was a great surprise to see the Red and Blue team perform so poorly. Yale did as well as was expected and Michigan by placing in the quarter mile obtained a few more points than she was conceded. Cornell on the other hand far exceeded expectations and placed men in eight of the thirteen events, taking three firsts, four seconds, a third, and tieing for another third. Yale in six events won three...
...Craig of Michigan secured a poor start in the first semi-final heat of the 100-yard dash, but in a burst of speed, 25 yards from the finish, passed the rest of the field and won by a slight margin.

The second semi-final went to Minds of Pennsylvania with Thomas of Princeton and Reilly of Yale tied for second. Ross of Michigan was barely shut out from qualifying. In the final heat Craig secured another poor start, being the last...
...heat of the 220 with ease. Ford of Cornell, after being shut out on Friday in the shorter dash, came back strong and took second over Thatcher of Yale. Captain Minds of Pennsylvania won the second semifinal heat in 21 4-5 seconds. Cooke of Princeton and Ross of Michigan were the other qualifiers, shutting out Bleistein, Yale's fastest man. A new record was hoped for in the final, but Craig started poorly. He did the distance, however, in 21 1-5 seconds, equalling the record, as he did last year at Philadelphia. Ford defeated Cooke and Ross...
...meantime Sawyer of Princeton was taking his pace from Kelley and at the beginning of the straightaway passed him and started after Young. The latter rose to the occasion and exerted all his strength, running the last 100 yards in a phenomenal manner. Gamble and Haff of Michigan overtook Kelley 30 yards from the finish but were unable to catch Sawyer. Captain MacArthur of Cornell and Hough of Pennsylvania followed the Michigan men in at the finish...
