Yale Shut Out in the 440 Yards Dash, 880 Yards Run and the Running High Jump...
...surpassed all expectations. During the greater part of the games, however, the extremely close score, now with Harvard and now with Yale ahead, kept the interest of the spectators up to the highest pitch. It was not until the final heat in the 220 yards dash which Merrill, after taking first in the quarter mile, won by the most brilliant running of the afternoon, that Harvard's victory was assured. The separate events brought many surprises. Brewster of Yale was expected to win the two mile bicycle race, in which Harvard hoped to get more than third place. The greatest...
...yards dash, the first event of the afternoon, there were two heats. In the first were Garcelon, Sayer and Thompson of Harvard, Jones and Spencer of Yale. Garcelon had been looked upon as the probable winner of the event, and the announcement of a dead heat between Sayer and Jones was a surprise. Time 10 4-5.

The 100 yards dash ought to be a close race between Garcelon of Harvard and Richards the Yale freshman, with the former a favorite, and the third point lying between Thompson and Baker. The 220 flat will be in doubt the whole of the distance with Sayer a probable winner, Bennett of Yale second and Whittren third. Merrill is counted on for first in the 440, while second will go to Bennett with Bingham a close third. Judging from...
