Aihsny College won the Field Meet rrom
q. A. G. by Oae Point.

] In a field meet full of surprises
and in which the excitement ano
interest never abated for a mo-
ment, Albany college defeated
the Agriculturists on the local
field, Friday afternoon, by the
narrow margin of one point. Il
was anybody's victory until The
| final throw in the hammer event,
next to the last on the program.
| An incident In connection with
the meet shows by what a slender
thread hung the Anal result.
Considering the great amount oi
time consumed by the field events,
an effort was made to ''pull Off
the races while these were in
progress. 1t so happened that
the pole vaulters were contesting
when the 12o-yard hurdle was
called. Albany's best vaulter
was entered for the hurdle
race, and the visitors offered
Ito concede the first two places
IN the vault 10 the farmers;
practically giving away .the1neet.
But the Agrics handed i
back, by refusing the offer
Bergman, who failed to start in
the hurdle, entered the vault and
won first place and the meet.
Albany sprung surprise in
Bergman in the short sprints.
He is probably the best per-
forer. in the state in the
1oo-yard event. But Williams
was as great a surprise to the vis-
itors In the 22o and 44o, and
Moores' jump of 20 feet, ~
inches was also revelation.
Torbet was conceded the 5o-yard
dash and Coates was looked upon
as 6rst-place man i'll. the broad
jump apd and the hurdles, but
Bergman was not reckoned with
IN the dashes and vault.
r Williams set the pace SO hot for
Bergman in the z2o-yard dash
that the latter fell after crossing
the the finish line and was too
weak to enter any more of the
races. In the 44o dash Williams
led Torbet and Coates so far
that they gave up the struggle,
Coates won the high hurdles with
ease, and broke the coast record
in the 22o hurdles. Torbet
equalled the Northwest record for
SO yards.
The entries for the Orange
were fresher and in far better.
