The Freshman race was different, with Harvard getting second in the tri-meet scoring. That one wound up Princeton 26, Harvard 43, Yale 67. Encouraging note for the future was that the Yardlings outran Yale 21-40 in dual meet scoring while losing only 21-37 to Princeton.

Owen Edmunds finished 3rd behind Yale's Frank Effinger, with Captain Dave Gregory following in 4th place.
