HARVARD GETSC
Earns Trophy by Vic
tory in Dual
Games.
SCORE is 81 TO Al.
Despite Rain and Unfavor-
able Conditions Records
were Good.

New Haven, CT, May 1S.-Harvard
won decided victory over Yale this
afternoon in the annual dual athletic
games, and as result comes into per-
manent possession of the long fought
for trophy cup, she having won the
games five times to Yale's three.
Harvard won today by superior form
Despite the heavy track and the in
clement weather conditions, the time
IN the races was good and the COM
petition throughout was a credit to
both teams as well as to the individual
contestants.
Yale was superior in the sprints, but
was at loss for winning men in the
field events This disparity was pro-
nounced, and Yale's contestants were
not to be classed with their opponents
from Cambridge. In the pole vault,
however, Harvard thought it wise to
default to Yale for the reason that the
hour was late when it was called, and
because Harvards victory was assured
without the possible one or two points
which her men might have gained by
fighting it out to the end.
There were about one thousand spec
tators on the bleachers when the games
began with the preliminary heats in
the short dashes. Throughout the
games showers made conditions disa-
greeable, but at no time were the
games delayed by the rain. Except in
the long drawn out field events, the
atmospheric conditions did not appar-
entity hamper the athletes. The PER-
formances of Boardman, the Yale fresh
man becomes remarkable when consid-
cred in the light of these conditions. In
the 220-yard fiat he came down the last
rs yards fully four yards behind Quin-
Ian, the Harvard crack, but pulled
away from the bunch and finished six
inches to the fore, winning what seemed
to be the sure race for Harvard. In
the 440-yard dash he and Burke fought
the entire last lap. The crowd fairly
went wild as the two sprinters tore UP
the track, both sprinting in the finest
form, and followed by other men who
would have been considered as doing
good work under the conditions.
Harvards victory was assured by the
outcome of the 220 yard hurdles and
the high jump. Old followers of inter-
collegiate sport declared that for in
terest and excellence of competition,

The prettiest exhibition of pure sand
and nerve was the running high jump.
Yale was outclassed, except with re-
spect to Waller The trough rider did
not begin to train for the games until
about a week ago, and he had worked
so hard that he was all but i'll. How
ever, he fought beautifully, and When
the tie between himself and three other
jumpers, all Harvard men, was de-
clared, he set to trying for second place.
Ferguson, one of the Harvard men, was
not willing to toss for it, so the jump
ing proceeded and for two trials, I'M
successfully in each case. both men
Jumped. Waller fell twice and had to
be lifted to his feet, but insisted on
continuing until his opponent, who
alone remained, agreed to toss up for
second, with the result that Waller
won third place. Ferguson compliment
ed the veteran warmly on his nerve,
and Harvard men cheered Justify. The
