Yale.

Harvard Athletes Superior 10 Those o
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 21.-For the
second consecutive time since the for
nation of the intercollegiate Track
Athletic Cup Association, Yale has, been
defeated by Harvard. The annual meet
ing took place at Yale field yesterday in
the presence of 1000 spectators and was
hotly contested until the final event, the
high jump took place. At that time the
score stood Harvard 63, Yale 81.
Harvard braced beautifully and clinched
her lead by winning all three places in
the event, making the final score 81 to 81
In favor of the Crimson. IL was an after
noon OF surprises.
The first occurred in the 220 yards dash,
when Swayne of Yale, defeated Allen.
The second was in the 440 yards run when
Sanford, the Yale giant center rush, de-
veloped a magnificent burst OF speed and
tagged the Harvard runners completely
out before the home stretch was reached,
securing first place for the blue, while
only third had been expected.
Yale's adversities began in the half
mile run, when w. b. Wright, the inter-
collegiate champion and captain of the
Yale team, was poorly coached on the
first lap and lost first place to Corbin,
who spurted vigorously during the last
hundred yards and won with ease. SEQ
Vile of Yale ran the best mile race of his
life, but Lowell of Harvard overlook him
at the last turn and crowded him back.
Collamore OF Harvard was close behind
Lowell.
Stillman and Lyman of Yale exceeded
expectations in throwing the hammar
and putting the shot, both men winning
n - 81 As.k al
men had calculated upon. The superior
ity of the Harvard to the Yale field rec
ords was very manifest when G. l.. Kitch-
ell broke the running high jump record
of the college, clearing B feet, 8 3-8 inches
and was not able to secure even third
place in the event, Fearing, Green and
Sherwin OF Harvard, all exceeding his
record.
Summarized, the records of the two
colleges are: Harvards, frsts, 8 seconds
and 10 thirds; while Yale secured firsts,
6 seconds and thirds. Yale made the
most creditable showing on the track and
Harvard appeared to the best advantage
in the field events.
Yale failed to score point in the mile
walk and the running high jump. Wright
the best Yale walker, tainted dead away
ou the third lap In the former event. Had
he kept on he would have probably Sc
cured third place at least. The Davis
brothers Of Harvard, attempted their ia
nous "boxing" trick, trying to force
Wade, Yale's best man, to collide with
Elliott, by crowding him from the pole.
Wade shot from the combination like
fash just as it was closing in about him.
Allen and Elliot collided in the trial BIZ
cycle race. Both were shaken up an6
bruised considerably, but received no Sc
rious injury.
The track was heavy, owing to the rain
OF last night. Taking this fact into con-
sideration the time and distance made
were OF tho best. The betting was light
Havard supporters wanted even money
and Yale asked odds Of to I. The num-
ber of points scored by each college was
tied three times during the games. Yale
still believes that her team will beat
Harvard at the annual intercollegiate
games in New York on May Is.
