HARVARD THE WINNER
Defeats Yale In the Annual Athletic
Games.

New Haven, Conn.,, May 13.-Harvard
Won a decided victory over Yale this
afternoon. in the annual dual athletic
games, and, as a result, comes into
permanent possession OF the long
fOught-fOr trophy cup, having won the
games five times to Yale'S three. Har-
ward won today by superior form. De-
spite the heavy track and the inciement
weather conditions, the time on the
whole was good.
There were about 1000 spectators on
the bleachers when the games began.
Throughout the games showers made
conditions disagreeable. The perform
ances of BOardman, the young Yale
freshman. became remarkable when
considered in the light of these condi-
tions. In the 220-yard fiat he came
down the last twenty-five yards fully
four yards behind Quintan, the Har-
ward crack, but pulled away from the
bunch and finished six inches TO the
fore, winning what seemed to be a 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 un-
der the conditions.

The prettiest exhibition of pure sand
and nerve was the high running jump.
Yale was outclassed except with re-
spect to Walter. The rough rider did
not begin to train for the games until
about d 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
declared, he set to trying for second
place.
Ferguson. one of the Harvard men,
was not willing to toss for it, so the
jumping proceeded, and for two trials,
unsuccessful in each case, both men
jumped. Walter 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 place, with the result that Wal
ter won third place. Ferguson cOmpli-
mented the veteran warmly on his
nerve, and Harvard men cheered lust
lily.
The final score was: Harvard, 5414
points; Yale, 41A.
