something 10 do with the matter. Then the fact

10 swell the crowd
7, there IL one thing that Americans like II is
record breaking and careful study OF the entries
showed that they were not in danger. From
social and purely college point OF view the games
were huge success. but in purely athletic sense
the contests did not compare with the international
a-,ss between the New-York and London Athletic
clubs.

,,cauv no distance runners at her command, won

tests in hollow style. while Richards came to the

and 400 ward runs. Cady won the hurdles on the

men won also the 4-o-yard run. which while not
exactly a surprise. hardly conceded 10 the for

RICHARDS DID GREAT WORK
Tba. man certainly did all that the friends OF
Yale could have asked for when he won the 100 and
so) ward dashes And IL the 440-yard race were TO
be run he might do better
To ask 20 capture three OF the eie'eh
contests was a hercuiean task yet Richards almost
accomplished the feat In the 4+0-yard run Levin
was the apparent pacemaker for Fitzherbert' ana
when Richards saw that Levin the man that
he had 10 beat Levin was TOO far ahead 10 be
caught. TIE Yale man made a plucky EFFORT 10
catch the fleeing Englshman. but ne could not quite
accomplish the task.

right 10 expect better result In the hurdle race
tha, ala not seem to make any difference in the
result II was the final test on the programme
this trial would have been watched with breath
less interest. But when this race was reached Yale
scored points 10 8 for Cambridge Hatch. whose

field was admirably sheltered from the fun force
by Coogan's bluff on the west and the viaduct on
the south.
OTHER COLLEGES COULD DO 1T. TOO.
To one who has made study OF the athletic sit
uation il looks II there are other colleges in
America which could put a team in the field able
10 defeat Cambridge probably easily as Yale did
yesterday.
There was a spirit OF fairness and good fellowship
shown all around, which must have been particu-
larly gratifying TO the lovers OF fair play. The
consideration had the games taken place in Old Eng
land. Yale might DO better a year hence for me
