...association records were broken: quarter-mile run, mile walk, putting the shot, running broad jump, 220-yards dash, and the running high jump. In the tug-of-war contest, Williams, Brown, Dartmouth and Worcester were represented. Dartmouth won the event over Williams by one inch. The 100-yards dash was run in four beats, owing to the great number of entries. The final heat wins won by E. Williams of Dartmouth, in 10 4-5 seconds. J. W. Mills of Worcester second. The 220-yards dash was won by J. W. Mills of Worcester, in 23 2-5 seconds. This...

Strong, J. M. Hewhitt and F. G. Colton will contest in the half-mile run. The general opinion is that Dohm of Princeton will win one of these races. In the mile run Columbla's representatives are H. F. Hornbostel and A. S. Vosburgh. Columbia men think they have an excellent chance in this race. In the mile walk T. McIlvanie...
