Comparing the results Of the l c. A. A. A.

Conference Intercollegiate games at Chicago
the Fast 10 the better of. However. in con-
Aidering any question OF superiority il
must be remembered that Michigan athletes
scored heavily at Cambridge and that in
effect il is considering the strength OF the
entire country as compared with a section
Of it. Except in the final heat in the 100
yard run and in a trial heat of the high hur-
dlss. the Cambridge m eet developed better
performances.
w. W. May of Illinois ran the final heat
of the century in 0 As seconds as against 10
seconds recorded for N. j. Cartmell of Penn
sYlvania. +. Smithson Of Notre Dame ran
q heat in the high hurdles in Is l-5 seconds
and won the final In 10 2-5 seconds, j. G.
oarrels OF Michigan won the final at Cam
bridge in is lis seconds. This latter record
is not going to be allowed because Of the
wind. it is said, and the same is the case
with Smithson's performance. II that is
the case, the fast time in the 100 yard run
at Chicago probably will not go.
Going through the list of other perform
anoes. the Cambridge meet is much the
better. In the 22O yard run Cartmell Of
Pennsylvania finished first in 81 as seconds;
H. j. Huff Of Grinnell, the conference win
ner, was clicked in % seconds. John B..
Taylor OF Pennsylvania broke a record by
doing 4s As seconds in the quarter. His
western rival, N. A. Merriam of Chicago.
broke the tape in 81 seconds. Guy Haskins
OF Pennsylvania, with 1 minute 81 4-5 seconds
In the half mile, was ever so much better
than H. B. Myers Of Wisconsin. The Badger
had only to do ? minutes / second to win.
or course, Haskins's record performance
Of 4 minutes 20 3-5 seconds in the mile was
better than anything the West could show.
8. A. Lyon OF, Chicago ran in minutes 81
seconds. The last of the running events.
the two miles, was won at Cambridge by
Floyd Rowe of Michigan in 8 minutes 81 As
seconds, another new record. +. S. Jack
son OF Missouri took the distance run at the
conference meet in 10 minutes 9 seconds.
Garrels won the high hurdles in is is
second as set forth. with Smithson doing
Is 2-5 seconds Smithson Is the man who
finished 5 feet behind Kelly when the
latter ran 100 yards in Q 3-5 seconds. In the
low hurdles Garrels fairly walked in in "a
seconds. Merriam OF Chicago, the quarter
mile champion, won the low hurdles as well
10 rs 2+5 seconds.
In the field events comparisons are easier
TO establish. A bad wind hurt the Western
high jumpers. T. Mofitt of Pennsyl-
vania established a new record with g feet
81 inches. Next to him was Marshall of
Yale with 9 feet 20 inches. Gilbert Horrax
OF Williams was third with 5 feet IL inches.
HARDWOOD and Somers OF Hazard tied for
fourth place at 5 feet a4 inches. That
would have shut out the Western winner,
H. 7. Slaght Of Grinnell, who won at
Chicago. did s feet 8 inches. Three men
tied for second at 5 feet q inches.
The pole vault won with n record leap of
II feet ~ inches by Walter r. Dray of
Yale at Cambridge far surpassed the per-
formances of B. Haggard OF Drake and H.
place at II feet 4 inches. II is fair to say
that Iddings but for an injury a few days
before the meet might easily have done
IL feet g inches. Two Yale men tied at
and fourth places, so that the West would
have been shut out here, The hammer
throw was a little closer. NJ. F. Horr of
Syracuse won at Cambridge with $50 feet
NJ inches; beating H. z. Kersberg Of Har-
did 14s feet 80 inches to win at Chicago.
90 that he could have been third. A. A.
johnson of Wisconsin, who was second 10
Burroughs. did l47 feet ~ inches, which
would have put him ahead of Pew OF Cor
nell and Folwell OF Pennsylvania. third and
fourth in the /. e.. A. A. A. a. meet.
Every one Of the four men placed in
the broad jump at Cambridge did better
thar the Western rivals. The winning
leap at Chicago was made by E. NJ. jenkins
Of Illinois, 81 feet s inches, W. Knox of
Yale won the lump with ~ feet 10 inches.
with two Michigan men close up. The
fourth man did n feet S inches. The shot
put was another competition in which
the Westerners were outclassed. ". +.
Kruger of Swarthmore, who won at Cam
bridge, broke a record by doing 40 feet
81 inches. Burroughs, who won the
Western event with 43 feet ~ inches, would
not have been placed at Cambridge unless
he had boosted that TO a feet z inch, the
performance which got fourth for w. y.
White of Cornell.
