the American intercollegiate record.
The shot-putting further increased Ysle's
score, as A. +. Mailing, the Oxford cham
pion had not the ghost of = chance against
such Il pair of experts as Hickok and
Brown.
Then came the crucial test. With two
events remaining Yale scored three wins TO
Oxford's four and the American colony
could not figure anyone but Woodruff, the
winner of the $50 yard run. Goodthing
was hopelessly beaten and the Oxford pair,
w. II. Greenhow of Exeter, +. w. Rath-
bone of New, had the finish between them.
This gave Oxford the fifth win and settled
the question at issue.
Sheldon was again a tower of strength in
the high jump. He went within the most
tantalizing margin of winning, without
actually doing the trick. L. ID. Swanwick,
the English intercollegiate champion, was
said TO fear no one but +. A. Cady, but the
latter was in difficulties, after clearing 3
feet 3 1 inches. Sheldon got an inch
higher, and there he and Swanwick stuck.
Extra jumps failed TO solve the problem,
and as oxfords win of the half mile had
taken away Yale's last chance, il was al
lowed to stand.
Cady started splendidly in the hurdles,
but fell earlier in the race than first re-
ported. Hatch led up TO the last hurdle,
where Oakley shot past. Hldyard
started on making mis-
sion for Greenhow in the mile,
Morgan saw through the game and stuck to
the "frst string" Greenhow left him at
the half and won in romp amidst cheering
from the Britishers.
Sheldon turned out for the jumps wear
ing plaster on his left knee. Ills per-
formsnce under the circumstances was
highly creditsble. Hatch was not at his
best and failed TO take off, with any
| success.
The quarter mile was one of the star
events of the day. Jordan led for a fur
long, when Sanford raced raced past and
went for the top corner at sprinting speed.
Jordan used his knowledge of the track 10
advantage and nursed himself to the stretch
and gradually wore down the Yale man.
The winner all but dropped in G. N. Jack
sons arms after crossing the line.
The competitors showed the effect of the
thorough training they have undergone and
were as frisky AS kittens. The men have
evidently taken excellent care of them.
selves and their grand physique was the
subject of general comment.
