LONDON, April 2.-The annual field
and track games between teams rep
resenting the universities of Oxford
and Cambridge took place today at
the Queens club grounds. The 100
yard dash was dead heat between c..
IT. Thomas, of Jesus college, Oxford

Cambridge; G. Jordan, University col
1ege, Oxford, was third, ten inches be-
hind the leaders. w. H. PiIkington.
Trinity college, Cambridge, was last.
Time. 10 LIS seconds. Every one ex-
pected Jordan to win. He led until ten
yards from home, when, to the surprise
of all, Thomas and Carter came to the
front with a splendid burst and finished
together. GARNER cleared the hurdles
beautifully and won easily in that
event. Five yards separated Maun-
drell, the second man, and w. G. Paget-
TomlinsOn, Cambridge, who was third.
The mile run was interesting. Day.
idson, Cambridge, led nearly to the
half mile, and then gave up. A pretty
race between Hilliard, Oxford, and

yards behind Dawson, Oxford, who was
second.
Great interest was taken in the high
jump, and it was soon seen that the
jumping of Cambridge was less game
than that Of Oxford. Wimbush, Cam
bridge, retired early, and Cholmley,
Cambridge, Knocked the post over
Adair Oxford, retired, and Cholmley
made great efforts to beat Kir-
liew, but found it difficult to clear
five feet eight inches, both light
~ touching the bar. The result was a.
tie between Kirliew, Oxford and ChoIm-
ley, Cambridge.
Interest in the quarter centered
mainly in it being the second meeting
between Jordan, Oxford, and Carter

the 100 yard dash. Carter got the start
In a grand race, followed by Fitzher-
bert, Cambridge, and Jordan. A hun
dred yards from home Jordan rushed
40 the front in grand style amid eX-
cited Oxford yells. Carter was unable
to stand the pace, and finished three
yards behind FitZherbert, who was Sec
Ond
The final event, the three-mile run,
was the most exciting of the day.

leaving WilberfOrce, Oxford, Wood,
