citing Contents. |
Perfect weather and the prospect of See
Ing some interesting contests brought about |
four hundred people to the Yale field yes
terdsy afternoon 10 witness the annual
spring games of the Yale Athletic associa-
ton. A strong wind blew down the track
and helped the sprinters, all the short
races being run with 1t, but troubled the
contestants In the longer races. Most of
the races were very close and exciting, and
there were some pretty finishes.
In the dashes the time was not as fast as
1t might have been, for Richards is lame
and Pond, who ia another fast man, 10 not
we'll and did not show up at all. Cleve-
land won both the short dsshes, and his
time in the 100 yards dash was very fast,
although It was largely due to the strong
wind that blew on his back. Sanford tool;
the quarter mile with ease. He set the
pace and was never headed or even pushed
from start to finish. The 120 yards hurdle
was pretty race, and the time, 10 sec
onds, was fast. Csdy, the winner, is one
Of the prsttisst hurdles that Yale has ever
had, and Trainer Murphy thinks that he
viii push the intercollegiate record, Is B
seconds, before he IL through college.
The mile walk was very exciting con-
test, Bnnnell, Thrall and Allison finishing
IL, hrD IN, $ho nr6ap named ThrQn
who IL Q freshman, made good showing,
and pushed Bunnsll hard, as the time, z
minutes, II seconds, shows. Morgan
had things all his own way in the mile
run, winning by about 100 yards. If he
had been at all pushed he would have
probably come close to the intercollegiate
record; rs 1t was, bis mile was the fastest
that has been run on the track at the Ysle
field in long time.
Woodruff ran q prettily judged race in
the half-mile run In fast time for Yale,
which has not had fast half-miler since
Wright left. The time of the two-mile
bicycle race was not announced, as the race
was loafng affair from start to finish and
the time was above the time allowance.
Glenny finished first with Parmalee second
and Hill third.
The pole vault ended in tie with
the bar at 10 feet 6 inches, be-
tween Kershaw and Thomas. Kershaw
spiked himself and the tie will be
vaulted of when he gets we'll. Sheldon ie
lame and so did not enter in the running
broad jump. The event was won by Wade,
'96, with . jump of 81 feet. The high
jump was won by Thompson, '97. who
cleared feet, 8 inches. AS the rules fol
the games with Harvard do not admit of q
running throw in the hammer contest, the
hammer was thrown from stand yester.
day afternoon, and big Hickok had nc
trouble In winning.

In nearly every case these records ar

IL much faster, but how much those rec

cannot be told. At all events the result
of yesterdays games are enough to Civ
the Yale men much hope for both the Ha1
ward and intercollegiate contests.
