...yard hurdles were run in four heats with two men qualifying in each. Rand of Harvard and Howe of Yale met in the first heat, but were not pressed by any formidable competitors. Neither man exerted himself and Howe won in 25 1-5 seconds. The second heat produced more competition. Gardner of Harvard, Craig of Michigan, Mayhew of Brown, and Robbins of Yale were the contestants. At the next to the last hurdle Robbins fell, leaving the race to Gardner and Craig. The former won in 24 1-5 seconds. Hartranft of Pennsylvania won the third heat...
Foster of Harvard and Dawbarn of Princeton were both winners of their heats in the 220-yard dash. The latter made the best time, but was more closely pressed. Foster had and easy win from Gamble of Princeton, Newll of Pennsylvania, and McArthur of Cornell, in 22 1-5 seconds. Minds of Pennsylvania and Hawley of Dartmouth were closely matched for second in Dawbarn's heat, which was won in 21 4-5 seconds. Watson of Harvard won his way to the semi-finals by taking fourth. Cary of Yale did not start and is definitely out of the meet...
...final result of the shot-put is still a matter of considerable doubt. Krueger of Swarthmore was unable to make his best put in competition and unless he does considerably better today he is likely to lose to Little of Harvard and Horner of Michigan who were second and third yesterday.

Talbott of Cornell made the best distance in the hammer-throw with 150 feet, 2 1-2 inches. He is practically sure of first place and will undoubtedly increase his distance today. Horr of Syracuse, with 144 feet, 10 inches, is assured of second place. In spite of Cooney's failure to qualify, Yale still has a chance for points with Andrus and Goebel. Cornell may take a point with Sullivan, who threw 135 feet, 8 1-4 inches...
...Brown made the best jump, with Nixon of Cornell an inch behind. Babcock of Columbia was a quarter of an inch behind Nixon, and Cook of Cornell a quarter of an inch behind Babcock. Kilpatrick, although he finished fifth yesterday, is still a prominent candidate for first or second place. Cook has a lame ankle and may not be able to improve his mark to any great extent...
