In spite of the almost unfair handicapping against them Harvard's delegates made a most creditable struggle, and the college ought...

Bemis kept the lead until the middle of the last lap, when Ware, who had been warned twice, managed to pass him by a very questionable style of heel and toe walking, and came in ahead. Ware's time was 7m. 27 3-5s. Bemis made...
