The performances of Tower in the sprints and those of Carter in the mile and two-mile were the features of the afternoon. Stone ran a very pretty race in the half, winning his event with ease after a well-timed sprint at the finish...
...second quarter, but could not oust the Cornell man from the pole. Meanwhile H. Jaques, Jr., '11 had been running easily in third place followed by Jones. At the last turn the real test came, and Jones proved equal to it. He swung wide and began to sprint, securing the lead at the beginning of the straightaway.

The time of the University team was 6 minutes, 19 1-5 seconds...
...place when he lost his stride on the last lap. The one-mile handicap proved to be an excellent contest. With the leaders constantly changing, P. Newton '11, who, with forty yards handicap was virtually scratch man, gained steadily. With one hundred yards to go he made an excellent sprint, but was unable to catch the leader, finishing three yards in the rear. Four men from the University qualified in the trial heats of the 440-yard handicap dash, the last regular event. F. H. Storms '14, with twenty-four yards allowance, took the lead in the final...
