...Yale freshmen last Tuesday at New Haven, when Yale was defeated 6 to 4. The Cornell team has played very erratic ball throughout the season, due in part to the fact that its opponents have been extremely weak. In the last four games the Cornell freshmen have beaten the Pennsylvania freshmen 10 to 9, Cascadilla School 17 to 1, Ithaca High School 22 to 5, and Stiles School 13 to 1. Their fielding is much stronger than their batting, and the team is exceptionally fast on the bases...
...result of the preliminary trials held in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, Harvard's chances appear brighter than before. Yale on the whole fared worse than was expected, but Cornell and Pennsylvania showed signs of strength that may make the final result dangerously close. The University led in the number of men qualifying for the finals with 15; Yale and Cornell tied for second with 12 each; Pennsylvania had 8 men and Princeton 7. The other colleges to qualify were Dartmouth with 3, Michigan, Columbia, and Syracuse, 2 each, and Swarthmore, Brown, and Haverford, 1 each. In addition to this Harvard...
...cleared the bar at 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, thereby creating a new intercollegiate record. The men who now hold the record are J. L. Barr '09, C. S. Campbell and F. T. Neison, both of Yale, E. T. Cook of Cornell, J. F. Pickles of Pennsylvania, and C. Vezin, Jr., of Princeton. If the weather is good today, this record will undoubtedly be beaten again. The distances in the broad jump were surprisingly poor, but this may be partially accounted for by the heavy take-off. Considerable change in the positions as they stand at present will probably...
...trial heats in the 880-yard run were the first events to be run off yesterday. Beck of Pennsylvania won the first heat in the remarkable time of 1 minute, 56 4-5 seconds. French of Cornell ran a carefully planned race and finished just ahead of Kirjassoff of Yale for second place. Warren of Harvard was close to Kirjassoff at the finish, but could not quite overtake him. Pennsylvania again showed up strongly in the second heat, which was won by Paull in 1 minute, 58 4-5 seconds. Whiteley of Princeton led a great part...
...better form than at any time previously this year. Dwight of Princeton easily took first from Welch of Syracuse in the second heat. Besse of Harvard was a good third. Howe of Yale won the third heat in 15 3-5 seconds, with Piper of Harvard second. Hartranft of Pennsylvania made the same time in the fourth heat. He was closely pressed by Robbins of Yale, who took second. The fifth heat was a walk-over for Talcott of Cornell as Roscoe of Stevens was the only other competitor. In order to reduce the field to eight...
