the only competitor to clear II feet inches.

tried to clear the bar at II feet II inches and
failed. Horton is d pleasant faced fellow, below

at II feet II inches yesterday, except that the
constant jumping had weakened him before the

TO PROTEST AGAINST SCHICK-
Harvard won by scoring - points. with Yale
second. with 80 points. and Princeton third, with
- points The executive committee of the as
sociation held q meeting in the afternoon
decide what should be done regarding the eligi-
bility of Schick, the Harvard runner They could
not come to any agreement The case IS a pc
cular Yale challenged Schick. declaring
that he had competed in open games last year.
Harvard denies this answering the charge that
Schick competed in games given by society
of which all those who competed had to be
members The games in question we're those of
the Diocesan League of Springfield. Mass. held
last year. \ peculiar condition confronted the
committee in that the intercollegiate rules do
not say what open games are Under the rul-
ings of the Amateur Athletic Union the con-
tests in which schick took part would be called
closed games. and consequently his intercoi-
Iegiate standing would not be affected. Cap
tain Willis of the Harvard team said that the !
protest against Schick ridiculous and re-
fused to say what Harvard would do in case |
Schick thrown out Others were not as |
guarded. and intimated that if the champion !
ship was taken away from the Crimson, Har- |
ward would resign from the Intercollegiate AS |
sociation.
HOW THE COLLEGES SCORED
As predicted. Harvard scored in most of the |
thirteen contests and Yale did as we'll. but the |
Blue captured only one first place, while Har- |
ward took three. When the points had been |
UP. FIVE for win. three for second |
two for d third and one for a fourth it was
found that Harvard had won with "a points
Yale had 80: Princeton. n; Amherst, IL, |
10; Pennsylvania, 9; California |
and Syracuse, s each, and Cornell and Column
Yale would gain two more points and Harvard |
would lose SIX which would make the official
returns: Yale, 30 points, and Harvard 2S points.
The attendance fair. really good for Berke-
ley Oval, the percentage of pretty girls being
large. There little wind, but
not enough TO either help interfere ma terially
with the runners What wind there was helped
Dufey in his lightning sprint to the tape. and
nterfered with Horton who faced II in his
record breaking performance over the pole.
That the track fast as usual is demon
strated By the fact that, fast time was made |
throughout.
DUFFEY'S REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE
