...certain that no such good showing would have been made. It is encouraging to know that both coaches and most of the men on the team will be back next year, and if a captain can be found to match Captain Rand for all around ability, next season's record should be even better than the one made this spring...
Simons led at the bat for Harvard with a three-bagger and a single; and Aronson and Dana each hit safely twice. For Cornell Ebeling duplicated Simons's record at the bat. The fielding of the home team was on the whole only mediocre, and the playing was at times listless. Harvard played championship ball and the chances taken on the bases prevented the score from being larger...
...expect a very quick sale for their June number, otherwise they would not give the place of honor to a forecast of the intercollegiate meet, which took place twenty-four hours after the appearance of the magazine. The old-timer will take more pleasure in philosophizing over the past records which follow. It is a pity that the dates are not given in the table of collegiate records. How many Harvard men of today know that Wendell Baker's quarter-mile, though run straightaway, was merely one of a series of extraordinary performances on his part. His records appear...
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...
...pole-vault was the most extraordinary event of the day. Six men cleared the bar at 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, thereby creating a new intercollegiate record. The men who now hold the record are J. L. Barr '09, C. S. Campbell and F. T. Neison, both of Yale, E. T. Cook of Cornell, J. F. Pickles of Pennsylvania, and C. Vezin, Jr., of Princeton. If the weather is good today, this record will undoubtedly be beaten again. The distances in the broad jump were surprisingly poor, but this may be partially accounted for by the heavy take...
