Harvard lost the relay race with Yale in the Boston Athletic Association's nineteenth annual indoor meet, at Mechanics Hall, Saturday night, owing to Van Brunt's collapse in the last lap of his relay. The 1911 team, however, decisively beat the Yale freshmen. The Sophomores won the interclass race in a close finish with the Juniors. A number of Harvard undergraduates and graduates took part in the individual events, L. W. Bangs '08 doing especially creditable work by winning the 16-pound shot...
...University relay race with Yale each man ran, six laps, a total of 780 yards per man. Van Brunt started the race for Harvard and followed closely behind Kirjassoff of Yale until the sixth lap, when his strength gave out and he fell fifty yards from the finish. It was evident early in the race that he was not in fit condition for so long a distance and that a substitute should have run in his stead. He showed great pluck, however, and after falling managed to totter to the finish, where he was relieved by Haskell. Haskell started over...
...Freshman race was a runaway for Harvard, after the first relay. Sweetser took the lead at the start and finished a scant yard ahead of Baird of Yale. On the next relay, Steinhardt increased the Harvard lead to 10 yards over Murray. In the last two relays Johnson and Foster rapidly drew away from their opponents, P. Kirjassoff and Short, and gave the race to the Harvard Freshmen by nearly half a lap. The time, 3 minutes, 16 3-5 seconds, was 3 2-5 seconds slower than that of the 1910 team last year...
...interclass race proved more exciting than the other Harvard races. Francis, Howes, and Blanchard started the race for the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, respectively. Howes took the lead at once and held it till the end of the relay, when Blanchard sprinted and enabled Hoyt to gain the first corner for the Sophomores ahead of Whitcher. Whitcher, however, sprinted on the last, lap and regained the lead for 1909. Davis for the Seniors finished some distance behind. Dana ran strongly for the Juniors and maintained his lead over Keays '10 and Macdonald '08. The last relay started with Rand slightly...
...race between the University team and Yale, the distance will be a little less than two miles, each man running six laps, or 780 yards. In the Freshman and class races, each man will run three laps, making a total distance of 1560 yards. The University team is much stronger than last year's team and should win from Yale in good time. The Freshman team is not as fast as the 1910 Freshman team, but is expected to win from the Yale freshmen...
