...close, well-contested meet is expected. The Yale team, however, appears to have a slight advantage, as it is well-balanced and strong where the Freshmen are weak. The track events should be very evenly contested, but in the field events the Yale team is decidedly superior. Since the institution of dual freshman meets two years ago, Harvard and Yale have each won once...
...placed next the wall on the Boston side, the second Freshman crew next, then the Seniors, Juniors, and the third Freshman crew in order. All the crews obtained a good start except the Seniors, who were not ready. After the first few strokes the second Freshman crew had a slight lead over the others, but half-way between the start and Harvard Bridge all the boats were absolutely even. Before reaching the bridge the second and third Freshman eights began to draw away a little, and as the crews swept under the arches, the third Freshman crew...
...only able to win by half a length, the work of both crews being very ragged. At the finish of the first mile the Freshman crew took up the race and rowed to the bathing beach. Before reaching the Cottage Farm Bridge the University crew had a slight lead. Here the Freshmen lost a length through having the outside course, but this loss was almost made up by a spurt before reaching the bathing beach. The Freshmen showed the best from they have so far this season, and finished only half a length behind. The University crew covered the rest...
...Cambridge, 4 to 3. Two years ago Harvard won both games. The first was a spectacular 10-inning game, with the score 1 to 0; the score of the second game was 2 to 1. Neither Briggs nor Harvey will be in the game today. The former has a slight attack of tonsillitis, and the latter has not entirely recovered from a strain in the leg, received early in the week. Brown will go to first base, and Crocker will play in centre field. Captain Currier received an injury to his finger in the Andover game, but will probably...
...annual consolation games held in the Stadium yesterday there were several good performances. The quarter-mile was the best race of the afternoon, S. C. Simons '11 winning by a slight margin in the creditable time of 52 4-5 seconds. The mile was another well-contested race, in which H. Guild '10 just beat out C. P. Howard '09 in the home stretch. In the two-mile, H. Y. Masten '10 established a lead at the outset, which he maintained throughout, winning in rather slow time. The performances in the field events were poor...
