...second Freshmen in 9 minutes, 37 1-2 seconds, which is good time for secondary races.

...Harvard's 7 first, 8 second, and 9 third places. The University team does not seem to be in as good condition as last year at this time, a fact which cannot be laid to the weather or lack of competition. E. K. Merrihew '10 was not allowed to start at all; F. M. deSelding '10 ran with a sore ankle; H.

Walker of Dartmouth came in second three yards behind Crosby...
