8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
The annual fall handicap track games were held in the Stadium yesterday afternoon. The weather was favorable, but the track was heavy. The men were well handicapped, and closely bunched at the finish, especially in the three longer runs. No records were broken, the track events being run in only average times.
Several new men showed good ability and promise of development. R. C. Foster '11 did the 100-yard dash in 10 and 2-5 seconds, good time considering the condition of the track. H. Jaques, Jr., '11 ran the half-mile in 2 minutes, 3 and 1-5 seconds, in very pretty form, without being pushed hard. The most closely contested event was the one-mile run, in which six men finished almost in a line.
The 220-yard hurdles and dash and the pole vault were not finished on account of darkness. The finals in the hurdles and dash will be run off today at 4 o'clock, and the pole vault will be finished at 2.30 o'clock.
Following is the summary of events:
