...Perry, '89; (anchor). The 'Varsity again won, this time by 3 1-2in. The 220-yards dash ended the track events. J. W. Merrill, '89; J. H. Slade, '90; E. B. Bodley, L. S., and E. C. Moen, '91, were the starters. Merrill had the pole, the rest starting in the order given. The men were fairly well bunched around the turn, Moen in the rear. At the 100-yards post, Bodley seemed to be leading. Moen got in some fine sprinting here, and he and Bodley breasted the tape together, tieing for the first place...

...high jump will, of course, be taken by W. B. Page, of the University of Pennsylvania, who holds the world's record of 6 feet 4 inches.
