...after the semi-final heats of the 100-yard dash and the 120-yard hurdles the contestants lined up for the one-mile run. Harvard was not represented, as it had been decided to enter Jaques in the two-mile instead. Consequently all eyes were turned upon Paull, of Pennsylvania, and McGee, of Princeton, as the most likely winners. For the first quarter Paull allowed his team-mate Tyson to set the pace. With McGee and Laird of Princeton and Coney of Yale he followed just behind the pace-maker. At the end of the first lap, however, Paull stepped...
...only a new I. C. A. A. A. A. and collegiate record, but is the best amateur performance ever made in America. The former record was 9 minutes, 34 4.5 seconds, made by Rowe of Michigan in 1907. Almost as wonderful was the time made by Paull of Pennsylvania in the one-mile run. He set a new I. C. A. A. A. A. and collegiate mark by running the distance in 4 minutes, 17 4-5 seconds, breaking the record made by Haskins of Pennsylvania two years ago by 2 4-5 seconds. The other new record was made...
...second semi-final heat of the 120-yard hurdles came very near being a surprise. Howe got a bad start and ran third for most of the distance. Hartranft of Pennsylvania led all the way and won in 15 4-5 seconds. Dwight of Princeton held second place until the last hurdle, when Howe overhauled him. In the race for the tape Howe won by inches. Piper of Harvard was fourth. The first heat was somewhat similar, as Rand was behind Robbins of Yale for the first part of the race. Talcott of Cornell won the heat with Rand second...
...Craig of Michigan. He won his heat from Dawbarn of Princeton in 10 seconds, the same time made by Foster in the second heat. Kelley of Williams shut out Hawley of Dartmouth, McArthur of Cornell, and Burch of Yale by taking third in the first heat. Minds of Pennsylvania and Gamble of Princeton were the others to qualify, keeping Geary of Fordham and Blass of Cornell out of the finals. The anxiously awaited race between Foster of Harvard and Dawbarn of Princeton in the final heat resulted in an emphatic victory for the former. Dawbarn finished only fourth and Craig...
...half-mile run was another event in which the University team did not take part. Beck and Paull, the two Pennsylvania runners, had things all their own way and took the first two places. Paull seemed perfectly fresh, notwithstanding his record-breaking race in the mile earlier in the day. In all probability he could have beaten Beck and established another record, but he made no attempt to take better than second. On the final stretch he carefully gauged the distance between himself and French of Cornell, taking care to keep just out of reach. French in turn...
