Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-05-12

his most formidable Yale competitor, is
 credited with 26 2-5 seconds for this event.
 Harvard s star sprinter is S. M Merrill,
 who is doing the 100 yards dash in 10 2-5
 seconds and the 220 yards dash in g 1-5
 seconds, which is two-fifths of second bet
 ter than Richards winning time in the 22O
 last year. Next to Merrill is P. da S. Pra-
 do, a young Cuban, who is showing very fast trials.
 Marshall, Hollister and Bingham are all
 fast in the quarter mile run, and Hill, Vim
 cent and Lakin will be depended upon to
 look after Harvard's interests in the half
 mile. E. B. Bloss, who has won the broad
 jump for Harvard for the past two years,
 will probably secure the event again this
 season. Without extending himself he is
 clearing over 22 feet, and his winning jump
 last year was 9 feet 95s inches.
 While Harvard has no hammer throwel who can hope to hold his own against
 Hickok of Yale, Robert Acton recently sent
 the hammer flying over 104 feet inches
 and may secure at least second place in the competition. As a shot butter he has a
 mark of 39 feet inches and may also cap
 ture second place for Harvard.
 Fearing, who won the running high
 jump for Harvard for four years past, has
 left college, but w. T.. Putnam, c. J. Paine,
 
 10 inches and possibly more, and Harvard will doubtless capture this event. Wheel
 wright will try for the pole vault, Elliott
 the two mile bicycle race Coolidge the mile
 run and Phillips the mile walk.
 Pennsylvania has an unusually strong team this year. The bright, particular ath- letic star of the aggregation is George w. Orton of Toronto, who is champion one mile runner of the United States and cham -.sa .l, l The mile run at the Mott Haven games will consequently be a gift for him. Orton was | 8 sickly boy, but distance running and as l sociation football have made him strong, l healthy, we'll developed young man, who has twice demonstrated that he is the great | est mile runner on this side of the Atlantic. l Orton has beaten E. c. Carter, T. P. Con- neff, Ernest Hjertberg and Willie Day, four l of the phenomenal runners of America. He | is 20 years of age, feet inches tall and weighs 120 pounds
 Another great Quaker is c. T. Buchholtz, | the pole vaulter sprintcr, broad jumper
 and running high jumper. He is champion | pole vaulter of America, holds the intercol- | legiate record of 10 feet 101s inch and will | undoubtedly win this event at the oval. | Ramsdell expects to make it lively for | Bloss in the broad jump and is doing over | 21 feet. Coates and Osgood are very swift | wheelmen and will make strong bid for | first places in the two mile bicycle race. Ramsdell and Cuchholtz will probably do | sood work in the sprints, and all in all l Pennsylvania expects to win at least 25 l points in the Mott Haven games. Princeton's team this year is not particu- | larly strong, and Cornell, Brown, Columbia | and Wesleyan rarely make any showing | worth mentioning in the Mott Haven events. The great Strll oOl le this year will be between Yale, Harvard and the University of Penn | sylvania.
 There are If events in the competition, | and as points are credited for first place, | 9 for second and 1 for third each event | yields 8 points. The total number that may
 be scored in the contest is 112, and the col | lege winning the greatest number of points out of a possible 112 is declared victor EARLE II. EATON.
