took the place of E. E. Sears, who ia i'll. The
| picked team were ffty-fvs pounds under
| weight. The college ug-of-war between Co.
| lumbia and Yale was won by Yale. In the
| drop Yale won it by one and one-half inchea.
| This was excellent for the Yale team, which
has never pulled together in q regular contest
before but once. The Columbia team is the
one that pulled Harvard at the intercollegiate
games.
The pole vaulting was very exciting as the
bar was raised up pretty high. One by one
the contestants dropped out until only two
were left-Leavitt of Harvard and Shearnan
of Yale. At last Shearman vaultedss over the
bar at height of feet inches amid the
cheers of his classmates. This height was
too much for the Harvard man, who after
three trials failed to vault over the bar. Then
after few minutes Shearman undertook to
vault over the bar at feet 90 inches, which
he accomplished very handily. Shearman did
excellently as he had not trained for this
meeting The cheers of Harvard, Yale and
Columbia resounded again and again as each
college cheered its representative. A few
ladies were interested spectators.
A large attendance is expected tonight,
and it is expected that about $50 will come
up from New York.
