NOT AN IDEAL DAY.
Harvard's Second Team De-

Dash the Event.

The day chosen for the Worcester
Polytechnic Athletic association class
championship games was not an ideal
one by any means as far as weather
conditions went, the air being raw and
penetrating and rain falling at inter
walls.
The games of themselves were not
very startling, and the records made
in previous years were not disturbed.
The class games were won by the
class of 100, with IS points to the good,
while the class of 'O2 got 81 points and
the class of 'O1 made but % points. In
the base ball game, Harvard's second
team defeated the Tech team by a
score of 9 to 3. The attendance was
about 200.
The first event to be run off was the
120-yard hurdles, which was won by
the juniors, their representative,
Wood, winning with six yards to spare,
time being 10 3-5 seconds, with Walsh
and Jacobs of the freshmen trailing
in behind. The first place in the mile
run also went to the juniors, Allen, 700,
winning in minutes and II % seconds.
He had a cinch, Holmes and Harding
of '02 not being dangerous, they finish
ing in the order named.
The 100-yard dash was the most in
teresting of the whole list of events,
and was won by Loft, OF, only after
one of the hardest races of the day.
He made good time considering the
condition of the track, doing the CEN
tury in II 2-5 seconds. Jordan of the
same class gave Loft a run for his
money being beaten out at the tape,
with Walsh of the freshmen a close
third.
The freshmen again went to the fore,
Rogers capturing the mile run, the time
being minutes and % seconds. Spen-
Ger and Holmes, '02, the other two, en-
tered, winning in that order Holmes
took the lead and kept it until the last
lap, when he fell behind so yards, al
lowing Spencer of his class to fight it
out with Rogers.
The 220-yard hurdles was run off in

cobs, 90, and Hall, '02, competed, and
Woods won, with Hall second. In the
second heat the contestants were
Walsh, 90; Gray, o. and Burr, '02;
Burr won with Walsh second. In the
finals, Wood, Walsh, Burr and Hall
competed Wood was easily winner, but
in clearing the last hurdle he caught
and was thrown heavily to the ground
and in trying to regain his feet he
spiked himself badly in the calf CT his
leg and his ankle. He arose and fin
ished gamely but not before Burr had
finished ahead of him, Hall taking third
place and Walsh last. Burr's time was
80 2-5 seconds.
