...between the two University crews, always a splendid race, well fought out from start to finish. This year we seem to have slightly the advantage of our opponents. To be sure, the Cornell crew broke the record on the Henley course last Saturday in the race with the Harvard second crew, but none of the men are oarsmen of much experience in a university boat. On the other hand the Harvard crew is chiefly composed of members of last year's victorious eight, and the order has remained practically unchanged throughout the season. Combine this advantage in experience with superior...
...chances appear brighter than before. Yale on the whole fared worse than was expected, but Cornell and Pennsylvania showed signs of strength that may make the final result dangerously close. The University led in the number of men qualifying for the finals with 15; Yale and Cornell tied for second with 12 each; Pennsylvania had 8 men and Princeton 7. The other colleges to qualify were Dartmouth with 3, Michigan, Columbia, and Syracuse, 2 each, and Swarthmore, Brown, and Haverford, 1 each. In addition to this Harvard, Cornell, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Williams, and Dartmouth have 1 man each entered...
...trial heats in the 880-yard run were the first events to be run off yesterday. Beck of Pennsylvania won the first heat in the remarkable time of 1 minute, 56 4-5 seconds. French of Cornell ran a carefully planned race and finished just ahead of Kirjassoff of Yale for second place. Warren of Harvard was close to Kirjassoff at the finish, but could not quite overtake him. Pennsylvania again showed up strongly in the second heat, which was won by Paull in 1 minute, 58 4-5 seconds. Whiteley of Princeton led a great part...
...first heat of the 120-yard hurdles was very encouraging, as Rand won in 15 2-5 seconds, showing better form than at any time previously this year. Dwight of Princeton easily took first from Welch of Syracuse in the second heat. Besse of Harvard was a good third. Howe of Yale won the third heat in 15 3-5 seconds, with Piper of Harvard second. Hartranft of Pennsylvania made the same time in the fourth heat. He was closely pressed by Robbins of Yale, who took second. The fifth heat was a walk-over for Talcott of Cornell...
...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 of Harvard always within a few yards. After the turn the pair drew away from all the other runners except Conger of Princeton, who at one time threatened to displace...
