...seconds. The other new record was made in the polevault by Campbell of Yale who cleared 12 feet, 3 1-4 inches, thus beating the mark of 12 feet 1 1-8 inches, set by himself and five others in the preliminaries Friday. In several other events, records were closely approached. The half-mile was won by Beck of Pennsylvania in 1 minute, 56 3-5 seconds, 3-5 of a second behind the record held by Parsons of Yale. With better weather conditions a full second would probably have been cut off of the time in this event. Howe...
...University team was far more evenly balanced than any of the others and scored in nine out of the 13 events. In four events two or more men won points for the team. Surprising strength was shown in the field events, in which 14 1-10 points were scored. With very few exceptions the Harvard men were at their best. R. C. Foster '11 won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, decisively defeating Dawbarn of Princeton, who had been mentioned as a possible winner. L. Watson '10 qualified for the finals in the 220-yard dash and added...
...seconds. Hartranft of Pennsylvania won the third heat in 24 3-5 seconds with Talcott of Cornell several yards behind. Dwight of Princeton had an easy time winning from O'Connell of Pennsylvania in 25 4-5 seconds. The time in the semi-finals and finals of this event promises to be very fast, possibly better than 24 seconds...
...pole-vault was the most extraordinary event of the day. Six men cleared the bar at 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, thereby creating a new intercollegiate record. The men who now hold the record are J. L. Barr '09, C. S. Campbell and F. T. Neison, both of Yale, E. T. Cook of Cornell, J. F. Pickles of Pennsylvania, and C. Vezin, Jr., of Princeton. If the weather is good today, this record will undoubtedly be beaten again. The distances in the broad jump were surprisingly poor, but this may be partially accounted for by the heavy take...
...heats were run in the 100-yard dash as all but eleven of the entries were scratched. This event will be run today in two preliminary heats in which the first three men will qualify for the finals...
