NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. May 1s.-The first
annual Yale-Princeton track and field contest
was held at the Yale field to-day. Yale won
handily by the score Of 81 to g. making the
most crushing defeat administered by any
team since the first Yale-Harvard meet. 1t

record to go down was that held b,' Hickok
Yales great weight-thrower. Harry Cross
Yale's present champion. threw the sixteen
pound hammer $50 feet inches, thus break
ing the record. The biggest surprise Of the
day was the showing made by r. Garrett,
captain Of the Princeton team. This con-
queror at the Olympian games was shut out
in putting the sixteen-pound shot and only
won third place in the broad jump.
The feature of the day was the running
of Hinckley. of Yale. in the half mile, who
won in POI from Bryant. of Princeton. Con-
trary to the expectation of the sons OF old
Nassau. her athletes made a poor showing
In the running, only meeting with success in
the 440-yard run and the 220-yard dash. Bur
blue by. winning from Derr. of Princeton,
doing 100 yards in 10 1-5 seconds. The most
interesting race OF the day was the bicycle
