...Howe, of the same university, will win first and second in the mile walk. The tug-of-war will be a close struggle between Columbia and Harvard, but will probably be won by the former. Webster will doubtless win the high jump for Pennsylvania, with Lee of Harvard second. Shearman will win the polo vault. The running broad jump is an uncertain event. Shearman, '89, or Robinson, '90, ought to win, with Mapes of Columbia, second. The hammer throwing and shot-putting will probably be taken by Coxe for Pennsylvania with Bowser of the same college second in the former...
...most promising candidates for the Yale Mott Haven team went to the training table Saturday. The team will be smaller numberically this year than heretofore, and it strength will lie principally in old and experienced men. The men who went to the training table Saturday are Sherrill, '89, Shearman, '89, Harmar, '90, Robinson, '90, Weare, '90 S., Clarke, '91. Sherrill has sufficient recovered from the injury which he received at Detroit last fall to allow him to run and he has been making good time. Harmar, who is depended upon to take the mile run, is now very...
...contestants in the running high jump were J. P. Lee, '91, T. G. Shearman, Yale, D. G. Tenney, Yale, and R. G. Leavitt, '89. Tenney was the first to drop out at 5 feet 5 1-4 inches. From this point the contest was extremely interesting, for first one man and then another failed on his first trial, but cleared the bar on his second or third attempt. Lee dropped out on 5 7 1-4 inches; Shearman cleared 5 feet, 8 inches, and won, as Leavitt, whose best jump was 5 feet 7 1-4 inches, could not reach...
...next event was the pole vault, for which T. G. Shearman, Yale, and R. G. Leavitt, '89, appeared. Leavitt cleared 10 feet, 3 1-4 inches, breaking the Harvard record of 10 feet, 5-8 inches, made by Leavitt himself, April 2, 1887. Shearman vaulted 1 inch higher, thus winning the event, and also establishing a new record for Yale. The intercollegiate record for this event is only 10 feet, 3-4 inches., and was made at the meeting in 1886 by Shearman and A. Stevens, of Columbia...
