THE CRIMSON AHEAD.
Yale Defeated in Inter-
collegiate Contests.
CHICAGO IN THIRD PLACE.
New York Defeated by Brooklyn and
Cincinnati by Pittsburg.

NEw HAVEN, May II. .-.Foi the second
consecutive time since the formation of
the intercollegiate Track Athlstic Cup
association, Yale has been defeated by
Harvard. The annual meeting was hotly
contested until the final event, the high
jump, took place. At that time the score
stood Harvard 53, Yale 81. Harvard
braced beautifully and clinched her lead
by winning all three places IN the event,
making the final score 6l to 81 In favor Of
the Crimson. IL was an afternoon of sur
prises The first occurred In the 30 yard
dash. when Swayne Of Yale defeated
Allen. The second was in the 440-yard
dash, when Sanford, the Yale giant center
rush, developed a magnificent burst of
speed and tagged the Harvard runner
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 intsrcollegi.
ate 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 Scoville Of Yale ran
the best mile race Of his life, but Lowell of
Harvard overlook him at the last turn
and crowded him back. Collamors Of
Harvard was close behind Lowell Still
man and Lyman Of Yale exceeded expec-
tations In throwing the hammer and put
ting the shot. both men winning 6rst
place instead Of second, which Yale men
had calculated upon.
The Superiority Of Harvard
to Yale field records was very manifest
when C. L. Kitchel broke the running
high jump record Of the college, clear
ing 5ft. S3-sin. and was not able to
secure even third place in the event, Fear
ing, Green and Sherwin Of Harvard all ex-
ceeding his record.
Summarized, the records OF the two
colleges are: Harvard frsts, s seconds
and 10 thirds; while Yale secured z firsts,
8 seconds and 4 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 hest Yale walker, tainted dead away
on the third lap in the former event. Had
he kept on he would have probably secured
third place ut least The Davis brothers
OF Harvard attempted their famous "box-
ing trick, trying TO force Wade, Yals's
best man. to collide with Elliott, by crowd
ing him from the pole. Wade shot from
the combination like a fash. just as it was
closing in about him. Allen and Elliott
collided in the trial bicycle race. Both
were shaken mp aud bruised considerably,
but received no serious injury.
The track was heavy, owing to the raia
of Thursday night. Taking this fact into
consideration. the time and distance made
were Of the best. The betting was light.
Harvard supporters wanted even money,
and Yale asked odds Of . TO I. The num-
Der of points scored by each college was
tied three times during the games. Yale
still believes that her team will beat Har-
ward at the annual intercollegiate games
in New York on May 2s.
