| they won the intercollegiate association s
championship cup, with a score of "a
points out of d possible 104, at Berkley
oval this afternoon Their close oppo-
nents were the Yalesians, who scored
"a 1-2 points, while Harvard and Prince
ton were close together for third honors,
the former gaining Is "a points while
the Tigers from Jersey had Is 1-2.
The bicycle scores which will wind up
the series of championship events for this
year will take place next Saturday at
Manhattan beach, but as the five races
to be then decided will only figure s
points, in the aggregate, they will have
no bearing whatever on today's result,
as Pennsylvania is too far ahead to be
interfered with.
The groundkeeper had everything in
splendid order this morning, and the
track was fast enough for record break
| ing, but stiff northwest breeze, which
blew at intervals, with velocity of from
IL to 20 miles an hour directly down the
stretch, prevented any of the track rec
| ords being broken or equalled.
Yale was the favorite for premier hon
ors, but the Pennsylvania men were very
confident and several wagers were made
in their favor. The great surprise in the
day was the downfall of worlds cham
pion Splinter, Bernard j. Wefers of
Georgetown University in the 220 yards
fiat race. Two short sprints were con-
coded to him by nearly every one con-
nected with the game, but Trainer Christ
OF Princeton made no secret of the fact
that in j. H. Colfelt the Tigers had
man who would give Wefers very tough
argument in the 220 yard dash. Wefers
won the semi-fnal and final of the 100
yard dash in splendid form ,notwithstand
ing the adverse wind and it looked as if
nothing could beat him in the longer
sprint. He romped home in the semi
final of the 220 yards race in clever style,
but Colfelt, who had reserved himself for
this event easily won the second semi
final. In the final run Wefers jumped
into the lead which he held for over half
the distance when Colfelt went after him.
The Princeton man overlook Wefers at
the reporters stand and from there to the
finish desperate race ensued between
the two. Colfelt lasted the longer and
won by about two feet. When the result
was announced the Princeton slogan rent
the air. The time 20 3-5 seconds was
very good, as the runners were very much
affected by the unfavorable wind. The
mile run created a lot of excitement and
Cregan of Princeton booked to. beat Orion
of wi Mi Tn, ho OCT ~,
these two ran away from the other run
ners, with Cregan couple Of yards in
front of Orion. As they turned into the
stretch, s.the latter collared the leader who
was firing, and passed him. Orion came
on then, running freely and won by seven
yards. The half mile race was Hollis
ter's from the crack of the pistol. He
set fearful pace and distanced his field
in the first quarter. He held his lead
throughout the second quarter, finally
winning by fifteen yards with Lane and
Grant of Pennsy .vania struggling in as
named for second and third honors The |
effort was too much for HOLSTER, who |
fell into the arms of his club mates who |
laid him down on the grass and cared |
for him. AS soon as Hollister was able to |
speak he said: "This was the hardest |
race ever ran and it will be my last"
T. E. Burke of Boston University won
the quarter by running as he pleased in
hollow fashion, by ten yards. In the |
mile walk there were five men disquali-
fed, four of them from Yale and one
from Swarthmore. Fetterman of Penn
sylvania won by fully furlong, with |
Phillips of Harvard and Zoller of Cornell, |
second and third respectively. This was
the only point scored by Cornell, as will |
be seen by the summary. The other con-
testants were close and several men tied |
in the field events which split up the
points into fractions.
