In the quarter-mile, P. M. Shanks of Cambridge has a record of 50 2-5 seconds. L. J. Cornish of Oxford is a second slower.

Cambridge has three good men in the mile: F. G. Cockshott (4 min., 26 4-5 sec.), H. W. Gregson (4 min., 26 sec.), and H. A. Brown (4 min. 28 3-5 sec.)
In the two-mile, H. W. Workman of Cambridge has a record of 9 min., 53 3-5 sec. F. H. Jervis-Smith of Oxford is a close second.

In the hammer throw, the strongest men are E. E. B. May of Oxford with a record of 119 ft. 11 in., and B. C. Hartley of Cambridge, who has thrown 114 ft.
