...part. His records appear on a special board in the meeting room of the Gymnasium, but what reader of the Illustrated would go near the Gymnasium! Kilpatrick's half-mile should scarcely be called a collegiate record. It was made in the international meet of 1895 when he ran for the New York A. C. And what bright has struck the high jump in these latter days? William Bird Page made his record of six feet, four inches more than a score of years ago. The Harvard record of six feet, two and one quarter inches was made by Fearing...
...mile was won by Beck of Pennsylvania in 1 minute, 56 3-5 seconds, 3-5 of a second behind the record held by Parsons of Yale. With better weather conditions a full second would probably have been cut off of the time in this event. Howe of Yale ran the 120-yard hurdles in 15 2-5 seconds, 1-5 of a second behind the time made by Shaw of Dartmouth last year. Talbott of Cornell was unable to reach his own mark of 167 feet, 4 inches, in the hammer-throw, but nevertheless made one of the best...
...former and the entries in the latter were scratched. It was decided to enter H. Jaques, Jr., '11 in the two-mile run and for a time it looked as if he might win it. He had two older and more experienced runners against him, however, and although he ran by far the fastest race of his life, he was out-classed and only secured third. Captain W. M. Rand '09 scored in both hurdle races, winning 3 points. He defeated Talcott of Cornell for third place in the high hurdles and took fourth in the low hurdles...
...second semi-final heat of the 120-yard hurdles came very near being a surprise. Howe got a bad start and ran third for most of the distance. Hartranft of Pennsylvania led all the way and won in 15 4-5 seconds. Dwight of Princeton held second place until the last hurdle, when Howe overhauled him. In the race for the tape Howe won by inches. Piper of Harvard was fourth. The first heat was somewhat similar, as Rand was behind Robbins of Yale for the first part of the race. Talcott of Cornell won the heat with Rand second...
Harvard qualified men in each of the three heats of the 440-yard run. In the first heat Blumer of Harvard had the 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...
