...their first taste of real first-class competition, provided thrills galore. Ruddy, the Columbia crack long-distance man, provided the major thrill of the evening by defeating his chief rivals Clapp, of Stanford and Ault, of Michigan, in a grilling furlong swim. All three men had already put on stellar exhibitions in trial heats of the 440, and yet they battled through to a hair-breadth finish in the 220. Ruddy was the winner, followed by Clapp, while Ault fell behind in the last stages of the race...
...individual star of the meet from the prospective scoring point of view was Northwestern's captain Al Schwartz. This stellar wave-cutter tied the existing mark in the century both in his heat and in the semi-final, and he came within one-fifth of last year's record performance in the 220. He seems like a certain point scorer in both events this evening and it would not be surprising to those who saw his clean-cut, powerful stroke in the trials if he were the outstanding performer of the meet...
After its second workout of the spring season, the Harvard football squad was divided yesterday into two teams called the Mahans and the Hardwicks respectively. The former, named from E. W.

That the Ithacans roster contains a number of stellar names is undeniable for one finds men like Captain Treman, who won a third in the 600 last year, Levering who fought off Captain Reid of the Harvard team last winter to win a victory in the two mile, and Clark, star hurdler who ran close to Ben Hedges, Olympic man in the Princeton-Cornell meet last spring. It is not, however, the known performers that make Cornell a threat, but rather the unknown material in nearly every event. A hasty glance at the entry list shows that sophomores are conspicuous...
...jumpers seen in Boston for some time, with four men doing better than six feet regularly. Wickham, who weighs over 200 and Hoppenstedt tied for second last year, and are likely point winners again this season. Dartmouth, without its champion Maynard, who graduated last June, has Moody, a former stellar jumper who is capable of bettering the six foot mark. G. W. Kuehn '32 who does six feet consistently, and G. W. Brown '30 are the leading Crimson entries, and should both be able to enter into the scoring columns...
