...surprises and showed very clearly that track athletics is a "mighty uncertain critter" to make any prophecies about. Who would have been willing to prognosticate, for example, that Corbin would get first prize in the half mile run out of the clutches of Will Wright himself? Or that Wright of Harvard would have to content himself with second place, owing to an unfortunate misunderstanding about the exact position of the finish line? Or that Stillman would beat Evins in the hammer throwing? Or that Wade of Yale would be better by a place than R. H. Davis of Harvard...
...disappointment of the afternoon - so far as Harvard was concerned - came when the quarter of mile run was won by Sanford of Yale; for Wright of Harvard, had been confidently counted upon to win the event hands down. So be would have, had it not been for the fact that the start was put near the upper turn instead of at the middle of the stretch (as was the case in some of the other runs) and in the excitement of the race, the Harvard men made their finish where they are accustomed to and then slowed down. Sanford...

...Wright of Yale cannot be expected to start in both the 440 yards dash and the half mile run. Supposing he chose the latter, Harvard has in Wright, Merrill and Pinkham a formidable trio and it is not absurd to expect them to capture all three places. Merrill and Pinkham will have a hard fight for second place with the chances somewhat in Merrill's favor. Wright of Yale will of course take first in the half mile run, while Harvard's hopes lie in Corbin for second and Batchelder for third, possibly Lakin. These two events ought to give...
...team race between the quarter mile men of the four classes occurred on Holmes field yesterday afternoon and resulted in an easy victory for the seniors. Ninety-two had the pole and the classes were arranged in order, Ninety-five being on the outside. W. H. Wright took the lead, closely followed by W. L. Thompson '93. H. M. Wheelwright '94, and H. D. Pillsbury '95. They finished in the same order. Wright's time was 50 4-5 sec. A. F. Pinkham '92 increased the lead, while S. M. Merrill '94 caught C. B. Goodrich...
