The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-05-25

Brown qualified 10 men yesterday for
the finals of the New England interCol-
lcgiatc track meet at Worcester today.
This Is the largest number of men the
brown and white has had in the finals in
number OF years.
Yesterdays successes were particularly
gratifying az all tho Brown men did good
work, and practically all those counted
upon to qualify succeeded In so doing.
Hazard threw the hammer nearly four
feet farther than North OF Williams. who
was generally looked upon as likely TO
take first In the event. Mayhem easily
qualified in tho high and low hurdles. He
wac also a good second In the broad
jump.
The feature OF the trials was the re-
markable performance OF the hurdler OF
Dartmouth, Shaw, who ran the 190-yard
event In Is seconds fiat Had II not been
for touching the last hurdle with his toe
and overturnfng Il he wo1rld hold the
proud distinction OF champion 120-yard
hurdler OF the world, for the mark he
made fs a fifth OF a second better than
the former worlds record. held by Kranz-
lein OF PENNSYLVANIA and the N Y. A. G.
The Dartmouth mans mark will stand
as the association record, but the tipping
over OF tho hurdle prevents IL from being
accepted as anything more. Shaw was
drawn with Hubbard OF Amherst I'm each
hurdle race, and he defeated him with
ease, running wonderful races. The Dart
mouth cracks hurdling Is probably on n
par with that OF any college athlete to-
day, and his ability TO take the leaps
without I'm the slightest degree losing his
stride or speed Is remarkable.
Five men won triad heats for the brown
and white yesterday Ave moro qualified
either second third or fourth. while Hux-
ford Is one OF those left in the pole vault
With these 10 already qualified and ex-
oellent chances IN the three events which
will be added today there Is plenty OF en-
couragement for Brown men.
The situation Is strlkingly different
from last year. when after the first days
contests the victory was Dartmouths
without the slightest question.
In tho very first race yesterday the coll
ors OF old Brown flashed TO the fore, for
Prout took tho first heat OF the A0-yard
run In fine style. In the third heat Honiss
qualified in third place. Mayhem took his
heat without the least trouble in the high
hurdles. az did Shaw. The same thing
was the order In the low hurdles. but In
the 22O-yard dash Brown did not land any
thing. The half-mile run was run In two
heats, OF seven and six men each. Thur
low landed third place In the first.
In the field events Brown made a good
although not being able 10 land
n qualification In the high Jump. Sturdy
made brave attempt. but could not quite
clear the bar nj s feet ~ inches. In tho
vault Huxford was one OF the sextet TO
swing himself clear OF the crossbar at 10
feet 3ib inches. Mayhem made p feet 4A
inches In the broad jump. Read OF Am
herst bettered this by four inches.
In the weight hurllng Brown was more
in evidence than last year with Smith and
Wolcott I'm the discus. Hazard I'm the ham,
mer and Wolcott In the shot put.
Dartmouth has 10 men In the finals to-
day. while Brown and Amherst have but
10.
