...both eights was lowered to 36, with Cornell leading and at the half-mile mark Cornell was still half a length ahead. In the next half-mile Cornell kept gaining slightly, and as the crews passed by the mile mark, Cornell was one length ahead. For the next three-quarters of a mile the race was very exciting and close, neither crew being able to gain more than a few feet. Entering upon the last quarter-mile of the race Cornell raised the stroke slightly, but Harvard's work seemed rather heavy and sluggish. At the finish Cornell...
...five men who were retained for the broad jump were closely bunched between 21 feet 9 inches and 21 feet 6 1-2 inches. Mayhew of Brown made the best jump, with Nixon of Cornell an inch behind. Babcock of Columbia was a quarter of an inch behind Nixon, and Cook of Cornell a quarter of an inch behind Babcock. Kilpatrick, although he finished fifth yesterday, is still a prominent candidate for first or second place. Cook has a lame ankle and may not be able to improve his mark to any great extent...
...never headed. Trump rowed in a compromise, which gave him an advantage over the others who were all in single scills as it was much better suited to the rough water. S.

Pennsylvania finished about two lengths behind Harvard. In the second race, which was rowed at 6.30 o'clock, the second University crew...
...when half the distance had been covered. A half-mile from the finish Cornell had increased its lead by half a length, and Pennsylvania was about two lengths behind Harvard. From this point on the second University crew sprinted but was only able to cut down the lead a quarter of a length. Pennsylvania finished two lengths behind Harvard. The work of the crew in this first race was listless, there was a marked tendency at times to hang at the catch, and when the crew was passed by Cornell in the early part of the race...
