...University tennis team easily defeated Yale six matches to three at the Longwood Cricket Club, Brookline, last Saturday morning. The University team won four out of six matches in the singles, and two out of three in the doubles. Niles and Sweetser won their matches in the singles in straight sets and showed the best form of all the players. Sweetser played a very fast game with a well executed low ground drive. Nile's playing against the Yale captain N. C. Stevens was brilliant. All his shots were fast and perfectly made, and he won most of his points...
Immediately after the semi-final heats of the 100-yard dash and the 120-yard hurdles the contestants lined up for the one-mile run. Harvard was not represented, as it had been decided to enter Jaques in the two-mile instead. Consequently all eyes were turned upon Paull, of Pennsylvania, and McGee, of Princeton, as the most 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...

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...
...University team was far more evenly balanced than any of the others and scored in nine out of the 13 events. In four events two or more men won points for the team. Surprising strength was shown in the field events, in which 14 1-10 points were scored. With very few exceptions the Harvard men were at their best. R. C. Foster '11 won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, decisively defeating Dawbarn of Princeton, who had been mentioned as a possible winner. L. Watson '10 qualified for the finals in the 220-yard dash and added...
