HARVARD THE VICTOR.
Won over Yale In the Dual Athletic
Games at New Haven,


NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 1S-Har-
ward won decided victory over Yale
this afternoon in the annual dual athlet-
ic games, and as result comes into per-
manent possession OF the long fought for
trophy cup, having won the games five
times to Yale'S three. Harvard won to-
day by superior form. Despite the heavy
track and the incienent weather condi-
tons, the time. on the whole was good,
and the competition throughout q credit
tc both teams as well as to the individual
contestants. Yale, on the whole was SUI
perior on the sprints, but was at a loss
for winning men in the field events. This
disparity was pronounced, and the Yale
contestants were not to be classed with
their opponents. In the pole vault Har-
ward thought it best to default to Yale
for the reason that the hour was late
when it was called, because Harvard's
victory was assured without the possible
one or two poins which her men might
have gained by fighting it out to the end.
There were about 90 spectators on the
bleachers when the games began with the
preliminary heats in the short dashes
Throughout the games showers made
conditions disagreeable, but at no time
were the games DELAYED by tho rain. Ex-
cept in the long drawn out field events,
the atmospheric conditions did not APP
formances of Beardman, the young Yale
Freshman, became remarkable when con-
sidered in the light Of these conditions.
III the 220 yards fiat came down the last
twenty-five yards fully four yards behind
Quinlan, the Harvard 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
40 yard dash he and Burke fought the
entire last lap The crowd fairly went
wild as the two sDrinters tore up the
track, both sprinting In the finest form,
and followed by other mon who would
have been considered as doing good work
under the conditions.
Harvards victory was assured by the
outcome of the go yard hurdles and the
high jump.
The prettiest exhibition of pure sand
and nerve was the running high jump.
Yale was outclasSed except with respect
tc Waller. The rough rider did not be-
gin to gain form until about week ago,
but he had worked so hard that he was
all but ILL., However he fought beauti-
fulyl 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 Har-
ward men, was not willing to toss for it.
so the jumping proceeded, and for two
trials, unsuccessful in each case, both
men jumped. Waller 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 Waller won
third place. The audience eomplimented
the veteran warmly on his nerve and the
Harvard men cheered wildly Score, final:
