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...
...Yale freshmen have played ten scheduled games, of which they have lost four. They have beaten the Princeton freshmen in two hard games, the first running to eleven innings. The team is strong in fielding, but, as a rule, cannot hit when hits are needed. Brinsmade and Smith have been doing the pitching for the Yale freshman team throughout the season...

The Freshmen, on the other hand, have improved materially during the past week, making a very fair showing against Andover last Wednesday, when they were beaten, 4 to 3. The regular team will start the game for the Freshmen...
...spite of the track team's defeat at New Haven, Saturday's athletics resulted very satisfactorily for Harvard. It is never pleasant to be beaten, but considering all the attendant circumstances, one cannot help being proud of the team's remarkably creditable showing.

...three games that the Freshmen have played so far this season have resulted in victories. Somerville High was beaten, 7 to 3; English High, 5 to 0; and Exeter last Saturday by the score of 4 to 2. The Freshmen have improved greatly in batting and are playing together well. Kennedy, who played first base during the early practice, has recovered from an injury to his knee and will play his first game today. Kelley is out of the game on account of an injury and Blackall will take his place...
