ATHLETIC MEET AT ARMORY
NATAL RESERVES HOLD SUC-
 CESSFUL EVENTS.

College and Association Teams Do Good Work.
 The big annual indoor athletic meet under the auspices of the Second bat talion, Naval Reserves, was held last night in the Second Regiment armory on Meadow street The meet was the biggest and most successful of any of the meets ever held by the, Reserves. The armory was filled with large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators. Thir- ty-three events were run off, and many well-known athletes competed: Music was furnished during the evening by the Second Regiment band.
 The most exciting of the events were the various relay races. The Yale var sity relay team easily defeated the Wesleyan team, doing the mile in 2:S7 2-5. Yale's famous sprlnter, Eli Parsons, ran fourth on the Yale team and ran a pretty race.
 Perhaps the most hoty-contested event of the evening was the inter- scholastic one-mile relay race between the Hartford and the New Haven high schools. Phillips ran first for Hartford and got good lead over his opponent. Pillion, who finished for Hartford, also ran good race. The interscholastic one-mile run between the Hartford and New Haven schools also proved an ex- citing event. Humphrey, of Hartford, kept the lead until the last lap, when Blakeslee, of the New Haven school, by a tremendous spurt, gained the lead and, crossed the tape a few feet in front of Humphrey Blakeslees time for the mile was 5:02.
 Another amusing and exciting event was the wall-scaling contest between the First division Naval battalion, of New Haven, and the Second division, Naval battalion, of Hartford. Each di- vision had team of ten men, who sealed a twelve-foot wall, ran around the goal, rescaled the wall and ran back to the starting point. The Hartford division defeated the New Haven team, though the event was closely contested. The Hartford wall-scalers scrambled up the wall with as much agility as a band of monkeys. Their time was 32 4-5 seconds, beating the New Haven team by 1 4-5 seconds.
 This was the first meet in which To- cal athletic clubs were represented. Three local associations entered teams --the All-New Haven A. C., the Frank lin club and the Annex club The mile relay race between these three teams resulted in victory for the All-New Haven club
 The Sheffield Scientific school relay team defeated the Yale academic team with comparative ease in the one-mile relay race, but the academic team turned the tables when it came to the tWo-mile relay defeating the Sheffield team with as much ease in this event as they were defeated in the former. This two-nlile race was a pretty one to watch. The academic team ran in the following order: Borup, Weeks, Wood- ward and Williams.
 Roberts won the Yale pole vault, clearing the stick at 10 feet inches. Campell and Nelson tied for second place.
 In the shot-put Abbott won first place with an actual throw of 40 feet inch es. Riley won the Yale high jump with an actual jump of feet inches. The forty-yard dash for Yale men was won by E. R. Robbins, w. H. Parsons, jro gaining second place.
 The interscholastic forty-yar9 dash between the Hartford and New Haven high schools was an exceptionally good race Patterson, of Hartford, took first place, his time being five seconds, The second and third places were won by Connolly and Connor, both of New Haven iigh school.
