 Yale Defeats Harvard in We1l-COntested
 Games.
 Cambridge, Mass, May 1S.-Harvard was beaten to-day by Yale in the fifth dual track athletic meeting. Harvard has now won three times and Yale twice. The score by points was: Yale 65; Harvard, 1T. Yale won nine first prizes, six second prizes and eight third prizes. F1rsts count five points, sec- onds 2, and thirds 1 point.
 In addition to this Yale won the re- lay race, which did not count toward the final total. The games were, on the whole, as successful as could be de- sided In spite of the weather there were fully 5000 persons present, who staid up to the final event. No less than five intercollegiate records were broken. and, in addition, one record in the Harvard Yale dual league.
 Captain Hicl1oR of the Yale team broke two records by a big margin. He threw the sixteen-pound hammer 129 feet 51a inches, the previous record held by himself was 123 feet inches. He threw the big sllot44 feet 11a inches. His previous record at that was AZ feet. In the bicycle race, D. HUI of Yale rode two miles in 5;12 3-5.
 Two Harvard men had a hand at breaking records. c. J. Paine, after winning a high jump, with an actual height of s feet 3-8 inches, had the bar put up to feet % inch, which was Just one-eigIth of an inch better than the intercollegiate record, held by R. Tearing of Harvard. He cleared the height on the first attempt. The other Harvard star was Hoyt, who won the #. R0i' 'A"' ''' u Feet anu e4Sli' 'is"'sD
 The surprises to Harvard men were in the sprints and the bicycle race. Neither Richards in the two dashes, nor Hill in the bicycle race, was sup posed to be so good as both turned out to be. Yale was surprised by Hollister in the half mile and Hoyt in the pole vault. Harvard lost all three places in the high hurdles and throwing the six teen pound hammer, and won all three in the quarter mile run. Captain Bing- ham distinguished himself in the last event by winning first place, with Mar shall and Vincent of Harvard both at his heels.
 In the half mile run the policy of the Yale management created a great deal of unfavorable comment among Har- ward supporters. Williams, one of the Harvard runners. was prevented from running at the lasbminute by the death of relative. Harvard asked to run Lalxin, who was entered for the event, but had not been drawn. As he was not so good a runner as Williams Cap tain Hickok graciousiy said Lakin could run, but, when he appeared on the mark, refused to allow his name to be put on the list. This occasioned vast amount of unpleasant talk, as Lakin, having been entered, had in right the privilege of running.
 The team race also went to Yale by a marrow margin. The Yale runners were Jordan, Pond, Wade and Gerard. The Harvard mem were Mansfield, Little, Lal1in and Bdson. Jordan got a lead on Mansfield, and Pond increased 1t to about a dozen yards. This lead Lakin to make up against Wade, and he was leading him by as many yards at the finish. Edson started off with a clean lead, but was overtaken on the last stretch by Gerard, and beaten out at the finish. The result by points: EupntS Harvard vaIa
