close behind Hcltok In the Eng
lish games last year, and has won his
events from Harvard and other coll
leges for two years by plucky finishes
when 1t seemed almost impossible FOR
him to secure first place. His best
form Is shown In the running Jumps.
He Is surest In the broad, but has de-
veloped fine form this spring in the
high and may win that.
II is probable, though, that as j. II.
Thompson won first place for Yale in
the games mere this spring he Will rep

high jump. Sheldon Is claiming 90 feet

about feet 10 inches In the high.
The past spring he has been at work
on the hurdles, and has won places in
the intercollegiate games He is best
in the high hurdles, At England last
year he won the running broad and
tied the running high. Yale's veteran
mile runner, Joseph II. Morgan. has
never been In such superb form as at
the present time. Although he was
beaten out In England last year, he is
now running close to the 4 minutes
20 seconds, and without the handicap
placed on him last year by bad
weather in England, he Is thought to
stand fine chance TO win his event.
