HAMLINE THE WINNER

Over the Y. Nj. G. A. Seniors. 1.-The
Athletic Exhibition a Success.
The fifth annual gymnastic and all
round athletic exhibition under the
auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. of st. Paul,
ended last night with the fullest NEED
of praise for the management and par
ticlpantS. There was some dlssatIs-
faction but not more than is usual on
such occasions, and it was the result of
teams being overmatched in some of
the contests. The programme was over
long but was decidedly interesting in
some features. The Hamline university
boys went away delighted with
a victory over the Y. NJ. c. A.
seniors tug Of war team.
The Y. M. G. A. senior team, composed
of j. I'll. Selleck, anchor, w. Thompson.
3: l.. Mabon, 2; A. ID. Adams, 1, has
held the championship in tug of war
contests for several years. and they
were disappointed at being defeated
last night by the Hamline university
team, composed of Wallace, anchor;
Sheldon, 2; A. ii. Tasker, 3; r. Title
ton, 3. Selleck, anchor for the Y NJ.
G. A. team, hurt himself Thursday
night in the contest and was forbidden
by his physician TO pull last night, but
the team decided at the last not to put
a man on in his place, but to
allow him to change places with
Thompson. Selleck took a place
on the rope but did not exert himself.
Obiecti on was made to the Hamline
term changing anchors, but the object
ion was oyerruled by the judges. Ham
line won the drop by one and half
inches; the lead was increased to three
Tak.f,n ut 4l,ra i ,NE+ = h.
The Y. NJ. G. A. team diminished this
advantage gradually until the end when
the university boys had one and a quar-
ter inches the best of the pull. The Y.
M. G. A. team insisted that they would
have won the contest if their anchor
had been in condition, and said they
were left with but three able bodied
men.
The wrestling match between Lutes
and Cook. of Duluth, was fine exhibit
tiOn of skill, and was heartily applaud
ed. There were two bouts of one fall
each, Greco-Roman and catch catch
can. Lutes won the first fall in ~ min.
The second bout resulted in favor of
Cook in round lasting 4 min. and 50
sec. The quarter-mile dash by Cleve-
land Smith and Mcclure was won by
Smith. The quarter-mile dash by
was won by Wisnom in SO sec.
Smith and Wisnom ran a quarter mile
for the championship. Smith claimed
a foul and was awarded the race. Wis
nom was apparently the best runner
and denied fouling Smith, but said the
latter saw he was beaten and claimed
foul. Frank Glover gave an exhibition
at punching the bag.
The tumbling by the Hilton brothers,
of Minneapolis; the Hanson brothers,
Tubertson and Maxwell, and the
Maule brothers, was good for
amateurs. The tug of war be-
tween the 7. NJ. c. A. lightweights
and Hamline university lightweights
was won by the former by two and
half inches. The high jump was won
Cleveland third. They each cleared the
bar at height of fifty-eight inches. In
the broad Jump Ernst was the victor,
having jumped sixteen feet and three
inches. Cleveland jumped Is feet IL
Inches, Jefferson Is feet inches, Wis
nom Is feet inch, and Egan IA feet
inches. Egan won in the hop, step and
Jump contest, having cleared 81 feet l
inch; Ernst was next with So feet
6 inches, Cleveland third with 80
feet 4 inches to his credit,
