...mile and seven-eighths course, between the first and second graded crews of the Weld and Newell clubs resulted in a decisive victory for the second Newell crew with the first Weld second, and the first Newell third. The second Weld crew did not finish, as Burden at bow broke his oar just after passing Harvard Bridge; the boat shortly after filled with water. A brisk wind blowing across the course created a choppy sea causing all the eights to ship water. The time, 11 minutes and 45 seconds, was therefore as fast as could be reasonably expected...
...lead, followed by the first and second Weld crews, and the first Newell last. Before entering the bridge the second Weld gained a little, in spite of the fact that they were rowing a much slower stroke than the other eights. Just above the bridge, however, bow broke his oar, giving the first Weld second place, and the first Newell third. At the 1 1-2 mile the second Newell was almost a length of open water ahead of the first Weld and rowing well together at a 30 stroke. The first Newell was hopelessly behind, showing no drive...

...yard dash in 9 4-5 seconds and Parsons did the had mile in 2 minutes and a fraction of a second--a remarkable performance. The Princeton meet was a rather tame affair but interesting as being the first intercollegiate event since the Pennsylvania games.

De Witt was Princeton's best man, and he and Williams were the only Princeton men to get a first; Williams ran the mile in 4 minutes, 31 seconds...
...York, where it will play Columbia on South Field, Morningside Heights, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, in the first game of the inter university series. Tomorrow the team will play the Crescent Athletic Club at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The team is weakened by the loss of Hanavan, who broke a bone in his hand on Wednesday, but Lehman, whose shoulder was sprained early in the season, will again play today. Since the game with Hobart the men have improved steadily, although the defense still have a tendency to leave their opponents uncovered. On the whole both the stick-work...
