Providence, R. I., moved among them, wondering if she could win an other leg on the Griswold Trophy. As the week wore on, the seasoned Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Kurd, of Philadelphia, disposed of her opponents most stoutly, coursing around often under 80. Glenna continued pensive as she brushed her own antagonists aside. Finally the two met; Glenna cracked out a scorching drive, Mrs. Hurd hooked into the fence. At the 15th, Glenna won the leg she so wanted. A newspaper ac count spoke of Miss Virginia Palmer, of Shenecossett, whom Glenna whipped 7 and 6 in the first round...

At this point, Gibbons noticeably let up in his attack when Carp seemed pleading verbally with him in the last two rounds. Unsportsmanlike. Gibbons was decidedly the favorite of the crowd. In the ninth, when Georges fell and claimed an injured leg, there was an unsportsmanlike round of booes...
...yards dashes, the Crimson and the Yale Freshmen are fairly evenly matched. Were Secrist in top form the same might be said of the 440-yards event, but a recent leg injury left him with a slight limp. Haggerty looks like a winner in the half and mile events. The hurdles should go to Yale. The shotput is the strongest Crimson event, with Miller, Kilgour, and Lundell competing for the Freshmen...
