...Meredith, famed middle-distance runner of a decade ago, surveyed a cinder track that stretched away, a curving, gun-metal line, from where he sat in the grandstand at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. On that track, in the course of the afternoon, he saw the runners of the University of Southern California win the 120-yd. hurdles, the 220-yd. hurdles, the discus throw, the Intercollegiate Track and Field Championship, with Princeton second, Yale third. He saw two runners-Tierney of Holy Cross, Marsters of Georgetown-each miss by just half a second his famed intercollegiate records for the quarter...
Worcester, June 4.--R. T. Jones '24, national open golf champion in 1923 and runner-up in the tournament last year, tied for first place with McFarlane with a score for the 72 holes of 291 in the last round of the national open played on the links of the Worcester Country Club this afternoon...
...half-mile was won last year by Watters, who also captured the 1924 Intercollegiate title. Last week this runner came in fourth, covering the distance in 1 minute 55 3-10 esconds, but still nearly two seconds behind the winner, Marsters of Georgetown. Both Haggerty and Barker can run the half in under 1 minute 58 seconds, whereas Gibson, the best Eli half-miler, usually breaks the tape in a fraction over 1 minute 58 seconds. When pressed Gibson may show something better, but the chances look good for a Crimson cleanup in the half...
...difficult job on his hands with Norton. The Yale sprinter won two firsts in the dual meet last year, and the Elis expect him to repeat that performance this spring. Lundell and Miller are distinctly obstacles to be considered in the way of this champion. Peck is another Crimson runner who should give Norton opposition. Both Peck and Lundell ran the 220 in 22 seconds flat against Princeton, equalling the dual meet record. It is true that Norton is in the habit of sprinting the 220 in something like 21 2-10 seconds, and it is also true that...
...fourth inning. Ray got a hit to center, and stole second while Daker was striking out. With two down, it seemed that Toulmin had pitched himself out of a bad hole, but he reversed his luck on the next play when he foozled Tobin's toss to catch the runner at first, and two runs scored. Captain Hammond followed this with his only error of the game and when Toulmin passed Moulton, the bases were filled. The Crimson hurler rose to the occasion, however, and struck out Hamilton, his rival on the mound...
