...Ithaca leader, in the succeeding two preliminaries. Lundell, the second Harvard sprinter, ran a hard race to take third in the second heat in 10 1-5 seconds and qualify for today's contests. This afternoon's century is expected to be a fight all the way to the tape with Miller, Norton, and Russell possessing a slight edge. The complete reversal of form exhibited by the Bulldog star was one of the features of the first day's competition. Russell ran well within himself and appears dangerous, while Hussey can always be counted on for a place among...
...half mile, which promises to be the most bitterly fought struggle this afternoon, Watters of Harvard, Leness of M. I. T., and Martin of Dartmouth broke the tape in their respective qualifying heats. The Crimson star came out of the ruck on the home stretch to win handily in 1 minute 56 7-10 seconds just ahead of the fast coming Sober of City College of New York, and Boyden, Golden Bear half miler. In the second race, the Tech leader, Leness, won in slightly better time over McCloskey of Boston College and Richardson of Stanford. The Cardinal flash...
Where sunburned ball-tossers earn their weekly wage, at the Polo Grounds, Manhattan, there was a new spectacle last week. The team was away. Some one had come and lined the field with white tape from deep outfield to home plate, where excited people stood waving rags, towels and handkerchiefs. If you watched closely, you would suddenly see flights of shadows whiz in from the outfield. They were spidery little animals with pinpoint noses, whittled bodies, pipestem legs...
...best race of the afternoon, and upon it may hinge the outcome of the duel. Paulsen has done under 49 seconds, the new dual meet record established by Kane against Dartmouth last Saturday. The Crimson runner negotiated a wet track, in the rain to break the tape well ahead of the Green runner. Should he hit his best stride against the Blue, Harvard may well pick up two more points in the 440-yard dash, which would give the Crimson more latitude in the field events, where, according to the CRIMSON'S figures. Harvard will have...
...Miller '27 lived up to expectations and succeeded in lopping a fifth of a second from his own record in the 100 yard dash, when he led Glendenning to the tape by four feet in an even ten second performance. The Dartmouth flyer, who was expected to challenge Miller again in the furlong race pulled a tendon in the broad jump and was unable to compete. Miller, because of this, was dropped out of the 220 yard final. F. P. Kane '20 returned a double winner and a record smasher, in two beautiful races. He established a new quarter mile...
