 New York, Sept. 25.-The athletes o ! resentatives of Oxford and Cambridg
 universities to-day at Berkeley Oval il
 track and field events and, as was eX
 pected, the Drawn and muscle of thu
 American colegians proved to be tot
 much for that of the visitors, the
 Americans winning six out of the nine
 events on the programme. Firsts were
 counted for points only, 50 that the
 Harvard and Yale men defeated theil
 English opponents by a score of six
 points to three. Some of the most san
 guine admirers of the American ath-
 letes anticipated this score but many
 of the more conservative Yale and Harvard adherents including Evart Jansen Wendell, Harvard '82, who was
 chairman of the committee of arrange
 ments, said that they would be satis-
 fled if the Americans won five out of
 the nine events.
 A better condition of affairs wealth
 erwise could not have been desired for
 during the greater part of the after noon the athletes were favored by
 warm sunshine and a cooling breeze which blew down the homestretch, but was not strong enough to affect the 1 flight of the runners,
 Between the American universities
 honors were equally divided, the Har- yard men winning three events and the Yale men carrying off the honors in a similar number of events.
 The Oxford representatives failed to gain point for the visiting team, the light blue of Cambridge being in front in all three contests which were won by Englishmen.
 The greatest race and closest contest of the day was the 12O yards hurdle race The issue was between Garnier of Oxford and Converse of Harvard lIblll lIt tIdCh Ol lHG plStOl op lo tilS eighth hurdle they were abreast, sev- eral yards in front of Allcock of Cam bridge and Clapp of Yale. Going over the last hurdle Converse gained couple of inches and as he threw his hands up at the tape he was barely six inches in front of Garnier, the time be- ing IS 3-5 seconds. Clapp's showing was disappointment to many who be- lieved that the Yale hurdler would have been a contestant at the tape but he finished couple of feet behind All cock, who ran third, nearly three yards behind the winner.
 Hargrave of Yale made superhu- man effort towards the finish of the 100 yards dash which he won iE 10 2-5 seconds. Haight of Harvard, who was on the inside, led for nearly fifty yards, when he was passed by Hind of Cam bridge, who was next to him. Har- grave was equal to the occasion and with a wonderful squirt assumed the lead and won about award.
 In the one-half mile run F'ranchot of Yale won the toss for pole position but as Workman of Cambridge wished to try for a record, the Yale man conced- ed the position Workman Is certainly a great runner but he was unable to break the record of 1:53 2-5 established by c. H. Fitzpatrick six years ago in the international games at Manhattan. Workman won very handily with Cleave of Oxford second in 1:55 3-5, just | ? 1-5 seconds behind the record.
 Rust of Harvard won the quarter mile run in fifty seconds with Board- | man of Yale as his closest competitor, | neither of their English competitors be- | ing able to get on even terms with | them at any stage of the race.
 In the one mile run Cawthra, Cock shott and Gregson, all of Cambridge, made the running, and held the lead between them into the last lap Knowles of Harvard tfren made his ef- fort but the best he could do was to pass Cawthra who immediately drop ped back Clark of Harvard coming up nto fourth place. They ran in this or fer into the stretch, with Cockshott 25 yards ahead. So far as the American 'unners were concerned they never had l, gohst of a chance, for Cockshott won i ,asily. while Gregson, his mate, finish ,d five yards in front of Knowles who made plucky effort.
 In the two mile run Workman and IacNaughton, of Cambridge, and Dawson of Oxford, cut out the run ling, with Mills and Swan of Harvard, md Feel, of Yale, running as named. There was no change in these positions turing the first mile, but in the second nile McNaughton and Feel were out of f. Workman had been running well within his powers and at all stages of he race he appeared a certain winner. faltering he won by at least ! 0 yards. Mills and Swan fought it out or second honors with Dawson fourth, hree yards back. In the field events the Americans had | all their own way. May. of Oxford, ' aused a good deal of surprise by his xhibiton with the 16 pound hammer. With good tutor he will probably de- l elop as a first-class man in this ( ranch of sport. He has an easy car but lacks speed. He uses only ! t ne turn but should he learn to do a f ouble turn before sending the hammer t n it's way he should do fully twenty s ve feet better. His first throw was f g feet, two inches, but his second at ,mpt was a wonderful improvement IT he threw the hammer 12S feet, three lches, gaining second place to w. A. oal of Harvard, who won with row of 136 feet, eight inches. G. :, nf voIo 1,1 tD |
