...Byers and Burnett. In condition, both are good for 10 1-5 seconds, while neither of the Cambridge representatives at their best are better than 10 2-5 seconds. Byers last spring in the Intercollegiates was good enough to lead Crum at eighty yards, and he is now running stronger and faster than ever. The 300 and 440 yards are really Richards's best distances, and in Murphy's opinion, he can, when right, give the best now running a very hard race. Murphy thinks that he can be depended upon to do the 300 in 31 2-5 seconds...

...said to excuse the defeat. It was generally conceded that Yale had the best chance to win, but no one expected that it would be by so wide a margin, and that, too, on our own grounds. The Yale team proved beyond any question that they were stronger than Harvard's and besides winning about all the doubtful events, also took several in which it seemed reasonably sure that Harvard would be victorious...
