...first official time trial of the first University crew was made yesterday, when under ideal weather conditions with an ebb tide of about two hours and a following wind of ten knots, four miles were covered in 19 minutes, 43 seconds, which beats the Yale time by over a minute. The second University paced Crew A over the first two miles and nosed out a victory, but C. C. Lund '16 was saving his men for the last half, as the Freshmen were waiting to give them a race over the last lap. The 1919 boat was going along...

...marks were 10 seconds and 22 seconds respectively. W. A. Savage, of Bowdoin, cleared the barriers in the 220-yard low hurdles in 24 2-5 seconds, lowering the former time by one-fifth of a second. The fourth record, which was not allowed on account of a favoring wind, was made in the broad-jump by H. T. Worthington, of Dartmouth, who leaped 24 feet 3 inches, surpassing his own previous record of 23 feet 10 1-4 inches...
