...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 of the way and was a good second...
...pole and ran in the front rank all the way. Seymour of Yale led until after the turn, when he was passed first by Blumer and then by Leger of Michigan and Hurlburt of Cornell. Blumer saved himself at the finish and allowed Leger to pass him for first place. The time, 50 2-5 seconds, was the fastest of the three heats. Ross of Syracuse led from the start in the second heat, with deSelding of Harvard always within a few yards. After the turn the pair drew away from all the other runners except Conger of Princeton...
...unable to make his best put in competition and unless he does considerably better today he is likely to lose to Little of Harvard and Horner of Michigan who were second and third yesterday. Talbott of Cornell seems to have a safe lead over Coy of Yale for fourth place and it is not likely that he will be able to increase his distance enough to take third...
Talbott of Cornell made the best distance in the hammer-throw with 150 feet, 2 1-2 inches. He is practically sure of first place and will undoubtedly increase his distance today. Horr of Syracuse, with 144 feet, 10 inches, is assured of second place. In spite of Cooney's failure to qualify, Yale still has a chance for points with Andrus and Goebel. Cornell may take a point with Sullivan, who threw 135 feet, 8 1-4 inches...
...pole-vault Barr of Harvard was the first to clear 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches. Cook of Cornell, Pickles of Pennsylvania, and Campbell of Yale followed in succession. After three failures Vezin of Princeton and Nelson of Yale tied for fifth place at the same height. In the jump-off Nelson won, thereby excluding Vezin from the finals. It took a long time to reduce the field in the high jump to five men. Pope of Harvard, Palmer of Dartmouth, and Canfield of Yale cleared 5 feet 10 inches, but Harwood and Lawrence of Harvard tied with Rossman...
