Outlassed in Triangu-
lar Track Games.

Amherst, June 3.-The first annual
meeting of the recently organized New
England Tri-Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation, composed Of Amherst, Will
iiams and Wesleyan, was held here to-
day and resulted in an easy win for the
Williams athletes, with total of 81
points. Amherst was second with 50
points and Wesleyan a close third with
80 points.
The attendance was disappointing
less than 800 spectators being present.
The Williams team was accompanied
by delegation of nearly 100. A coach
ing party composed of 20 pretty girls
from Mt. Holyoke College, carrying
Williams flags, attracted much atten-
ton.
The day was perfect for track games
and the racing was of the highest or
der. Six of the old triangular league re-
cords were broken and one equalled.
The feature. of the day was the work
of Bray and Potter of Williams. These
two men scored between them 20 points
and established four new records. Bray
Won the half mile, mile and two mile
runs and established new marks in
the half mile and two mile run.
Paul Potter who is an eX-captain of
the Worcester high school team won
both hurdle races in perfect form Win
ming the high hurdle in the very fast
time of 16 seconds, breaking the old
record by nearly a second. He also
won the low hurdle easily in 26 As Sc
conds and then performed a feat which
proved to be the best work of the day.
Without leaving the field after his
win in the hurdles Potter went over
to the high jumping contest and start
ing after the other contestants had
several tries succeeding in clearing
feet S3s inches, breaking the old record
by over two inches. Such jump I'M
der the conditions stamps the Worces-
ter boy as one of the best high jump
ers in the New England colleges. Cur
tenius of Amherst equalled the old re-
cord in the century and made a new
mark of p 1-5 seconds in the 220 yards
dash. Cline of Wesleyan established
a new record in the running broad
jump with mark of 20 feet "a inches.
