...himself justice at the finish. He rode a plucky race and deserves great credit. The tug-of-war was easily won by Princeton, whose team pulled in capital form. Their new patent belt also had much to do with their victory. F. W. Dalrymple, '83, Lehigh, won the pole vault with a jump of 8 ft. 9 in.; O. Harriman, '83, Princeton, taking second place. The Hurdle was won by R. T. Morrow, '81, Lehigh, in 18 1/8 sec., W. P. Trowbridge, S. S., Yale, second by 4 inches. Mitchell, Harvard, '83, was third in his trial heat. The games...
...shall hope to see that our athletes appreciate the necessity of hard and faithful work if they desire to retain at Harvard the cup won by our last year's Mott Haven team. We have as yet no representatives at all for the hurdles, half-mile run, pole leaping, hammer, shot, or running broad jump, and any men who may have an idea of trying for any of these events would do well to begin as soon as possible, for they all require a great deal of practice, and the time for the Mott Haven games is rapidly drawing near...

In the sports with Yale we shall probably want at least two representatives in each event, and possibly more; and it must be remembered that all of the above are events in which much careful practice is absolutely necessary. To this list of events, for which we have absolutely no representatives at present, let us add the Hurdles, the 1/2-Mile Run, and the Tug of War. For this latter event, in which we are totally unskilled...
