...mark should stand as equalling the record, for a slight wind was blowing behind the runners. The time of the final heat was unquestionable. In the furlong final Craig equalled the second of B. J. Wefer's sprinting records, breaking the tape in 21 1-5 seconds. The intercollegiate quarter-mile record of 48 4-5 seconds, made by J. B. Taylor of Pennsylvania in Cambridge four years ago, was equalled by D. B. Young of Amherst...
...expectations in practically every event. After qualifying 14 men in the trials Friday and being considered strong in the distances, it was a great surprise to see the Red and Blue team perform so poorly. Yale did as well as was expected and Michigan by placing in the quarter mile obtained a few more points than she was conceded. Cornell on the other hand far exceeded expectations and placed men in eight of the thirteen events, taking three firsts, four seconds, a third, and tieing for another third. Yale in six events won three points, two seconds, a third...

Young of Amherst started second from the pole and secured the lead at an early stage in the race. H. W.

In the meantime Sawyer of Princeton was taking his pace from Kelley and at the beginning of the straightaway passed him and started...
...competitors in most of the events this year are unusually matched and some extremely close finishes are expected. It is hard to pick any particular events as features, inasmuch as all will undoubtedly be of the highest class, but the quarter and the mile perhaps will hold the closest attention of the spectators. While few records are likely to go, many will be closely approached. A number of last year's point winners will compete, but their chances of scoring again can hardly be based on their performances a year ago, because many new stars have been developed...
...triangular race held yesterday afternoon at Concord, a scrub four-oar from the Junior class crew was defeated by the first Middlesex crew by one length over a quarter-mile course. The second Middlesex crew came in about half a length behind the Junior crew...
