The high jump was delayed by the
entry of Chapman Of east side in other
contests and was finished only after
! the crowd had gone from the grounds.
Then in the cold wind which chilled
both Chapman of Milwaukee and Hys-
lof of Whitewater jumped for second
place. Some difficulty arose regarding
the outcome of this contest, In jump
ing off the tie Hyslof failed to clear in
| two trials height which Chapman
had cleared In his third trial Hyslof
cleared this height and when the bar
was raised he went over while Chap
man failed. The continuance of the
trial was formally contested by the
east side coaches, who held that as
soon as one contestant cleared a height
in jumping off a tie and his opponent
failed in the following trial, the first
contestant would win the event. Action
will be taken upon this Immediately

be winner if he were given a fourth
of the five points which his school
won in in the relay race If Chapman
be declared second man in the high
! jump he will have II points, the same
as Williamson. If Waller be declared
to have won only 10 points, the watch
will be the joint property of Chapman
and Williamson
