...again pushed Howe of Yale to his limit in the low hurdles, and as in the dual games was beaten only by reason of the latter's wonderful strength at the finish. J. L. Barr '10 cleared 12 feet in the pole-vault, but as both he and Nelson of Yale failed to equal Campbell's vault of 12 feet, 3 1-4 inches, the result was a tie for second. The points for second and third were divided giving Harvard 2 1-2. The University team was shutout in the hammer-throw and the broad-jump...
...record in this event has been beaten and it is hardly likely that the present mark will remain for any length of time. Of the six men who cleared 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, Friday, Campbell of Yale was the only one to reach the new mark. Nelson of Yale failed to repeat his performance of the dual meet and tied with Barr of Harvard at 12 feet. Cook of Cornell and Pickles of Pennsylvania were not so fortunate as the day before and dropped out after 11 feet, 6 inches, tieing for fourth place...

...pole-vault Barr of Harvard was the first to clear 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches. Cook of Cornell, Pickles of Pennsylvania, and Campbell of Yale followed in succession.

It took a long time to reduce the field in the high jump to five men. Pope of Harvard, Palmer of Dartmouth, and Canfield of Yale cleared 5 feet 10 inches, but Harwood and Lawrence of Harvard tied with Rossman...
...beaten 160 feet and recently made a throw of 167 feet and 4 inches. Cooney of Yale and Horr of Syracuse are closely matched for second place, while the fourth position should be easy for Andrus of Yale. Yale again stands out conspicuously in the pole-vault. Campbell and Nelson are both practically sure of beating the existing record of 12 feet and the new mark will probably be considerably higher. Barr of Harvard and Cook of Cornell have both cleared 12 feet and may be able to divide the points with the Yale vaulters...
