Each watches the other like a hawk does
its Frey. and neither Icses an opportu-
niJy TO get point of advantage in every
line OF sport.
When Harvard scored 81 points to
Iale's 80 il the May 81 Berkeley Oval
intercollegiate championship it was ex-
pcctcd that there would be contention
over certain point winner. indeed, a
protest had been entered b. Yale before
the games, and Schick, Harvards crack
sPrinteT. VINO came second TO Arthur
DUFFY n the memorable l0C-vard dash
when the Georgetown man made the new
worlds record CT 3-5 seconds.
schick cane second in the lOO and 22O-
yard dashes, and thus won six points for
Harvard He ran under protest. and it
was decided 10 take up the matter in
apecial session CT the executive com
mityee called for this week. The meet
ing was held during the past week. and
cnly four members were present. and
the vote resulted in a tie-2 to ,. Ii was
decided then TO leave the matter open
until the fall cesslon. when it will prob
ally me referred to the intercollegiate
association for settlement.
Should the decision then be adverse to
SchiCk, Harvard win lose six points and
fa!e will gain two, so that Yale viii
win the championship honors By a total
OF 50 10 Harva-d's 2S.
Yale's Ground fcf Protest.
The ground upon which Yale makes
the protest was that schick had not
been at Harvard calendar year after
having competed in set of open games
Charles Gould and Captain Hargrave, of
the Yale track team, were at the meet
ing To fight in support of the protest
They were armed with a copy OF an A
Il. L. sanction for the Springfield Dio-
cesar Association TO hold games on La
bor Day, 1900. Shick won the 100 and
-OJ yard events in these games, asserts
Yale, and as he is a freshman at Har-
Facc, AMI has not yet been at Cam
bridge calendar year, as provided by
the \. A. L. rules, Yale claims he is not
eligible 10 compete.
Harvard does not deny that Schick ran
ct these games as a member OF St
Jerome Society, OF Holyoke, but does
contend that they were closed games,
which, If established. would have saved
the point OF Yale's protest against
sehick, filed before he started at Berk-
elcy Oval.
Point We'll Taken.
The rule is coed one, and the point
IL this case Is we'll taken, and if all
college would follow up the matter as
Yale does the men who break rules in
discriminately and then expect their
college to help get them out OF scrapes
would be more careful and there would
be less cause for complaint from the
other fellows
in this respect Georgetown is in a
class by Itself, and the standing of its
men or their eligibility in any games
has never been questioned The ''blue
and gray has attended strictly to bust
ness, and every year or so turns out a
new worlds record holder.
Interscholastic Champions.
1t remained for high school boys at
PottstoWn, Pa, to make a new record
in field event. Last week Thomas L.
Sheylin broke the worlds record in the
twelve pound hammer throw with
throw OF 1877 feet inches. and on Mon
day threw the sixteen-pound hammer
! IS feet.
The same school in the same games
furnished another record breaker in Bow
nan. who cleared % feet AZ inches in
the running broad jump, making q new
intcrschoiastic record for this event.
These boys VIII have lots of induce
Inents offered them TO Join big college
teams, and If they keep up their present
rate OF setting new figures. they will
prove a good investment for any col
lege athletic association.
