Jacques, Jr.. Of Harvard. They finished
In this order. with the Wolverine about five
yards behind the CorAellian. The Crimson
runpef pulled up and walked across the
line after he realised he had no chance.
About three-qaartsrs Of mile from home
and whom the white forms OF the runners
we're seen fiitting like ghosts along the
grassy fields Young. Dull and Jacques
began TO draw away from the field, and
they were then but few yards apart, with
Young showing the way. On they came
by the slope Of the hillock and across the
roadway toward the Gun Club. with Dull
treading on the heels Of the Ithaca man
and jacques pegging away couple Of yards
on. As they turned into Brokaw field
they had a straight stretch OF $50 yards
to the finish and Dull sprinted, and the
crowd shouted Dull In q walki" But
when Young saw the Miohiganite ct his
shoulder he put on steam too. and not only
held his own but began to forge ahead.
Both dug In with every ounce Of power
they could control and Young had the most
In reserve, for he successfully shook OF
Dull's plucky challenge. Many Of the old
timers present thought the Harvard man
should have persevered more on the home
stretch and though he may not have won
he surely would have been closer to the
second man. As 1t was. Harvard 8 showing
was the best in years and should satisfy
the Crimson rooter. IT was feather too

The race for team honors was a rather
one sided contest for Cornell, for she won
with total Of 20 points. the nearest being
Syracuse with 81. 1t was Harvard g lucky
day over Yale, for the Crimson secured
third place by a point from the Blue. the
score being Harvard 80. Yale 90. Michigan

score. as the institution had no member
