...Freshman crews race on Lake Cayuga. The chief interest centres in the contest between the two University crews, always a splendid race, well fought out from start to finish. This year we seem to have slightly the advantage of our opponents. To be sure, the Cornell crew broke the record on the Henley course last Saturday in the race with the Harvard second crew, but none of the men are oarsmen of much experience in a university boat. On the other hand the Harvard crew is chiefly composed of members of last year's victorious eight, and the order...
...deSelding all won their way to the finals, and in the high jump Harwood, Lawrence and Pope are left. Captain Rand showed his best form in both the hurdle races and Foster ran strongly in his heat in the 220-yard dash. Captain Rand established a new Harvard record in the 120-yard hurdles by winning his heat in 15 2-5 seconds...
Very fast time is expected in both the distance runs. Jaques of Harvard and Paull of Pennsylvania have been unbeatable all the year and if they come together in the mile a new record is likely to result. McGee of Princeton is almost in the same class. May, Tower, and West, all of Michigan, are consistently fast runners and one of them is likely to take fourth place away from Coney of Yale. Jaques will probably not run in the two-mile, and it is not likely that Paull will be able to win from Dull of Michigan after running...
...Records are likely to go in the pole-vault and the hammer throw. In the latter event Talbott of Connell has consistently beaten 160 feet and recently made a throw of 167 feet and 4 inches. Cooney of Yale and Horr of Syracuse are closely matched for second place, while the fourth position should be easy for Andrus of Yale. Yale again stands out conspicuously in the pole-vault. Campbell and Nelson are both practically sure of beating the existing record of 12 feet and the new mark will probably be considerably higher. Barr of Harvard and Cook of Cornell...
Harvard has a possible chance for first place in the shot-put with Little, although Krueger of Swarthmore, the present record holder, is the logical man for the position. Horner of Michigan is a very dangerous competitor and is expected by his team to win the event. Coy and Kilpatrick of Yale and Talbott of Cornell are closely matched for fourth...
