 Affair Given by First Division, Naval
 Battalion, a Great success---JacIS, the
 Yale Jumper, Meets With Accident
 and Can Never Jump Again-List of Events and Winners--Many Hand- some Prizes Awarded. ... The indoor athletic meet at the arm ory last evening under the auspices of the First division, Naval battalion, was | Q great success and it was estimated ] that when the programme started at i o'clock. there were over 5000 people in the hall. In addition to. the two gall 1 leries a long row of bleachers were ] erected. All were crowded with a large i number of interested spectators, and in addition to this hundreds stood around l the other three sides of the track, Everything was done to facilitate those. taking part in their endeavors. The Second regiment band, under the direc- 9tion of Leader Fichtl. furnished a splen- did musical programme during the eve-s ming and also furnished music for the
 dancing at the finish of the meet. The officials of the meet were all most efficient in their various positions and were led by M. c. Murphy, the Yale trainer. Everything went off without a' hitch and there was only one accident to mar the pleasures of the occasion. This occurred in the high jump contest for the Yale men, In this event Mar shall and Jack were the scratch men. When it came Jacks turn to jump he. i Ieaped into the air and easily cleared l! the pole at over five feet. As he land-s ed he fell and was carried into the Blues room, where he was attended by
 Drs. Hawkes. and Moulton, Trainer Murphy and several of the other Yale officials and sub-trainers. An inspec ton showed that the jumper had brok- 5 en the big ligament in his left leg. He was in great pain and was taken on a stretcher to the Yale infirmary. It is thought it will be some time before he, will be able to walk, and Trainer Mur- Ephy stated that the man would never be able to jump again. l William Jack is a member of the class Eof 1905 and rooms at f10S1 Chapel street. Since coming to college he has always been identified with track athletics and has been one of Yale's star high jump CTS. He has won number of honors lin all the intercollegiate meets which
 have been held in the last three years. l The track, it was stated, was slightly under measurement and this will there fore account for some of the time rec ords made although the winners in all I the events did excellent work.
