...Harvard's chances looked bright with four men on the line at the start. As the men neared the turn Merrihew, who had the pole, deSelding, and Kelly were in the front rank with Palmer of Haverford and Leger of Michigan. Blumer was badly boxed and had a hard time keeping on his feet. Coming around the straightaway Palmer, Leger and Merrihew had the best positions. The track was crowded, however, and in the fight for places Merrihew was thrown from his balance and fell headlong fifteen yards from the finish. At the very end of the race Blumer found...
...likely winners. For the first quarter Paull allowed his team-mate Tyson to set the pace. With McGee and Laird of Princeton and Coney of Yale he followed just behind the pace-maker. At the end of the first lap, however, Paull stepped into the lead, and from that time until the finish was never headed or even approached. For a while the two Princeton runners tried to hold the pace, but at the half mile Paull led by twenty yards, McGee was running alone in the second position, while between him and Coney were two Michigan men, Tower...
Although Harvard secured the majority of points, three other colleges had the satisfaction of setting new records. The most extraordinary performance of the day was the running of Taylor of Cornell in the two-mile. His time of 9 minutes, 27 3-5 seconds, is not only a new I. C. A. A. A. A. and collegiate record, but is the best amateur performance ever made in America. The former record was 9 minutes, 34 4.5 seconds, made by Rowe of Michigan in 1907. Almost as wonderful was the time made by Paull of Pennsylvania in the one-mile...
...beaten for fourth. The University team was unrepresented in the 880-yard and one-mile runs as no one qualified for the former and the entries in the latter were scratched. It was decided to enter H. Jaques, Jr., '11 in the two-mile run and for a time it looked as if he might win it. He had two older and more experienced runners against him, however, and although he ran by far the fastest race of his life, he was out-classed and only secured third. Captain W. M. Rand '09 scored in both hurdle races, winning...
...heats of the 100-yard dash disclosed an unexpected rival for first place in Craig of Michigan. He won his heat from Dawbarn of Princeton in 10 seconds, the same time made by Foster in the second heat. Kelley of Williams shut out Hawley of Dartmouth, McArthur of Cornell, and Burch of Yale by taking third in the first heat. Minds of Pennsylvania and Gamble of Princeton were the others to qualify, keeping Geary of Fordham and Blass of Cornell out of the finals. The anxiously awaited race between Foster of Harvard and Dawbarn of Princeton in the final heat...
