{ CHICAGO, juno 3-The annual field
games of the Western intercollegiate as
sociation took place today at Ravens
wood field. The University of Chicago
team won a rather easy victory, a total
Of forty-six points being placed to its
credit. Notre Dame college was second
with thirty-three points, chiefly through
the efforts Of Its aptain,i ]. f. Powers
and Michigan was third with twenty
seven. The Wisconsin men failed to live
up to the expectations of their admir-
ers, scoring but fourteen points Other
colleges receiving credit marks were IL
iinois, nine; Drake university, Iowa, five;
University of Iowa. four; Grinnell college,
Iowa, three, and Northwestern universi-
ty three.
The heavy rains of last night had soft
ened the oval cinder path en- the back
stretch. but the straight-away was in
good condition, and a large crowd pre-
sented themselves to see the sport. The
prominent features of today's programme
was the beautiful work OF Powers, of
Notre Dame, in the field events. Twenty
one Of the thirty-three points chalked up
for his college were due to his work, the
brawny captain securing clean firsts in
the shot put, the discus throw, dividing
first honors in the high jump and pole
vault, and secured second place in the
broad jump.
Three Western intercollegiate records
were broken during the afternoon. Three
of these Powers placed to his credit in the
shot put and in the high jump, Louis of
Iowa college, dividing the honors with
him in that event. In the broad jump.
in which Powers secured second place,
he was only beaten out by the slender
margin of half an inch.
a fight, which for an instant threatened
to develop into battle between hun
dred or more infuriated college men, took
place at the finish of the half mile run.
Immediately after the start cries Of foul
were raised against the Michigan men,
who, it was claimed, were deliberately
pocketing Moloney, the Chicago contest
ant. The cries increased to perfect up
roar as the men came into the stretch,
but Moloney managed to get through, and
won out by a desperate squirt. AS the
Michigan men left the track and started
to their quarters one excited spectator
swung at Barrett, and in a second the
bicycle track incline and part of the field
at its edge was a mass of shouting, fight
ing men. The police, however. soon re-
stored order, and hustled the leader off
the grounds.
The heat was intense, and many of the
men, especially in the long runs. were
greatly exhausted at the finish. Mclean,
Of Michigan, who won the final of the 100
yard hurdles, fell in dead faint after
crossing the line, and did not regain con-
sciousness for fully fifteen minutes.
