...final heat of the 440-yard run was the next event. 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...
Harvard qualified men in each of the three heats of the 440-yard run. In the first heat Blumer of Harvard had the pole and ran in the front rank all the way.

Raymond then drove the ball to left field just out of Dana's reach, sending two runs over the plate. Staff followed with a hit to centre, but Harvey by a splendid throw to Brown prevented another...
...question whether a steadily and rapidly improving team can overtake and defeat a team originally composed of tried men, which has rather fallen off than otherwise during the season's training. A careful computation of the probable results seems slightly to favor Yale, but the victory will turn with the few doubtful points that hang in the balance...
