...Freshman four rowed a close race with the Middlesex four Saturday morning winning only by one foot. The boats were even down the half-mile course, the Freshmen rowing a somewhat higher stroke than the schoolboys from start to finish. After this race the second Freshman boat defeated the Middlesex second crew by five lengths...
...result, the competition in every event was the keenest that has been seen for years. In no race or field event was the victory one sided. Two records were broken and 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...
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.

Speiden, of Cornell, and Madeira, of Pennsylvania, are the two leading competitors in the mile run with the odds favoring the latter, although both have made 4 minutes, 19 4-5 seconds. Marceau, of Dartmouth, should be a close third, while Wood, of California, Poucher, of Yale and McKenzie, of Princeton, will fight it out for the last two places. There is little danger of J. P. Jones's record being broken in this race tomorrow, but the men are so evenly matched that an unusually fast time will result...
Another Pennsylvania man, McCurdy, is the favorite for the two-mile run, and should repeat his victory of last year. McCurdy has made 9 minute. 35 seconds this spring, several seconds better than anyone else. Hoffmire, of Cornell and R. St. B. Boyd '14 are expected to engage in a duel for second place. Boyd has done excellent work in practice since the Yale meet, when he beat Hoffmire's time in the Cornell meet by 5 seconds, and should not only take second place, but should give McCurdy a hard fight. the winners of fourth and fifth places should...
