...last year's encounter with the Blue the sorrel-headed timbertopper won the low hurdles in 24 seconds, but fell on the tenth barrier in a stride-for-stride race with DeVoe, this year's Eli leader. In the culmination of this rivalry at New Haven last month Record won in 14 2-5 seconds, a world record mark not allowed because of favoring wind, and shortly later fought off Fates to win the low event in 23 1-10 seconds...
With the exception of second place in the quarter mile, the Crimson swept the field in the middle distance and distance runs. The feature of the afternoon on the cinderpath was Dodge's win in the quarter mile, when he finished a stride ahead of Noyes. Barrie and Foote surprised in the two-mile event, finishing ahead of Fox, with Dartmouth robbed of a possible place when Ferguson lost a shoe.

Fobes, passed by Dean of Penn, left Hallowell ten yards behind McNiff; the star miler closed the gap to a stride with a sprint over the last furlong. Cobb, only a stride behind Penn's veteran miler the entire distance, ceded second place to Martin of Cornell on the last lap. Sutermeister, in the vault, seemed unable to command his usual power...
