At the outset of the Worcester Acad-
envy class games yesterday afternoon
enthusiasm ran high and the class yells
of seniors and juniors intermingled
with the cheers of sophomores and
freshmen in a continuous roar of en-
couragement to contestants in the
early events.
Before the program was half run,
however, the magnificent work of
Duffey, Abercrombie and Hallett
clinched the victory beyond hope for
the seniors and when the games were
over '99 was a winner with 46 points to
her credit.
The contest between 90 and 'O1 was
close throughout. The juniors We're
victorious with 80 points, '01 putting
up total of 20 and '02 winning IL
points.
A strong head wind on the stretch
was forbidding of the record work of
which the star men of the academy are
capable, and the chill of the afternoon
coupled with a touch of rain was
enough to stiffen muscles in the field
events.
The feature of the afternoon was the
running of Scheuber. In the 220 yards
dash, by magnificent squirt he raced
away from the invincible Duffey like a
deer and came down the stretch against
the wind winning by 10 feet in % is Sc
conds. In the breaking event
of the program, the 220 yards low hur-
dies, the little fellow broke away from
the bunch at the crack of the pistol and
without clipping a hurdle breasted the
tape in 25 AS seconds, smashing the
school record of % seconds created by
w. A. Hersey last year. Duffey of
course was a winner in the 100 yards
and the little chap that is hot in the
chase after the worlds records found
10 1-5 seconds hardly warmer.
The events were run off without a
hitch and in remarkably fast time by
Arthur r. Campbell field marshal. The
track has been recently surfaced and
the one-f1fth mile ring was never in
better condition for fast work. The
