p. M. Young, the Rhodes scholar at Oxford,
won the high and the broad jumps, and on
the form he exhibited it is as well to admit
right now he would have a very poor
chance on this side of the pond. His dis
lance in the broad was 70 feet 4 inches, and
in the high s feet 81 inches.
Second to him in the broad was N. H..
Evans, another Oxonian, with a leap Of ~
feet s inches; and in the high Jump l.. N.
Doorly, also OF Oxford. was second, with
6 feet n inches. These will be second

In A.. NJ. Stevens, the ex-Yalensian, Oxford

He won in the Oxford Cambridge affair
with a throw Of ia feet D inches. which
eclipsed all the former marks, even the old
one Of 13s feet 3 inches made with unlimited
run and follow by g. H. Hales OF Cambridge
in 1870.
The Oxford-C Cambridge rules allow a
much larger circle for throwing than In
America, and the fact may affect Stevens's
throwing when he comes here. When he
has to oonfine himself to the seven foot ring
in vogue in America the pitch may not he

Cambridge is entitled to be second string to
Stevens, as he was second with a throw of
12S feet 8 inches.
