...last year's team Keene and Thompson are gone, and the Hammer, Shot, Pole Jumping, and Running Broad Jump are thus left without representatives. In the sports with Yale we shall probably want at least two representatives in each event, and possibly more; and it must be remembered that all of the above are events in which much careful practice is absolutely necessary. To this list of events, for which we have absolutely no representatives at present, let us add the Hurdles, the 1/2-Mile Run, and the Tug of War. For this latter event, in which we are totally unskilled...
...Annual Sports of McGill College (Canada) Athletic Association took place on Oct. 28 last, proving highly successful. By invitation, three Harvard representatives attended the meeting, and every thing possible was done by the McGill men to make them feel welcome. The morning was devoted to events like the hammer, shot, jumping, &c., which often become tedious, owing to the large number of trials required, leaving the afternoon entirely free for the running and walking races, which called forth a much larger assemblage of spectators. Wendell, '82, succeeded in winning the 100-yards dash in 10 1/3 sec., thus bettering...
...loose that he slipped and nearly fell, giving his contestants at least six yards the advantage of him. He caught the leader, however, only about five yards from the tape, F. A. Thompsen (formerly of Harvard, '82) finishing a good second. Thompsen also took second prize in the hammer, with a record of 81 ft. 11 1/2 in.; and in the hop, step, and jump, with 40 ft. 9 in. to his credit. E. E. Merrill, the champion amateur walker of America, at one and three miles, started at scratch in the 2-mile (handicap) walk, but being over-handicapped...
...yards, 220-yards, 1/4-mile, and 1-mile runs, and the mile-walk, cannot be fairly compared with the performances at the other colleges, as the former were all made by men who had more or less handicap given them. We have omitted the records at the hammer from this table, owing to the fact that hammers of different weights were used in nearly every case, so that a fair comparison would be impossible. The standing broad-jump at Williams must have been made with weights, as otherwise it would be a best-on-record. The only event in which...
