Great things were expected in the quarter-mile and they happened, but not from the men they were expected from. Young of Amherst started second from the pole and secured the lead at an early stage in the race. H. W. Kelley '11 had to exert himself to keep from being boxed and swung into second position after running 150 yards. He then attempted to wrest the pole from Young, fighting for it while rounding the curve. In the meantime Sawyer of Princeton was taking his pace from Kelley and at the beginning of the straightaway passed him and started...

The second will turn out men of neither too broad...
