New Haven, May n.-Yale and Princeton
tied I'm their annual dual meet at Yale
Field this afternoon, each scoring 5Si2
points. The contest was sensational and
fun Of unexpected performances, both
teams failing in what was thought TO he
their strongest events and upsotting all
calculations. The meet was not decided
until the last event. Princeton. with the
broad jump undecided, was leading by So.
to 49, points, ana in order to tie Yale
needed all three places in the event The
three Yale men lived up TO the occasion
and jumped better than they ever had be-
fore. Yale took the three places and made
the score a tie.
Both teams lost chances to win. but in
the light of later events Yale probably
lost when Stewart the Blues star sprinter,
after showing winning form in his heats
in the 22O-yard dash, broke down in the
final heat while leading at the 1OO-yard
MARI by badly straining a tendon. Fiske
saved the meet for Princeton in the pole
vault. Yale was regarded as sure Of the
first two places in the event, and possibly
Of all three. Fiske, however. vaulted sew
eral inches better than his best previ-
Gus performance. and defeated Captain
Gardner. of Yale, for second place, and
tied with the Yale star, Wagner, at u feet
67s inches, Fiske outdoing himself and
Wagner and Gardner being distinctly be-
low form Farrar, of Yale, sprang a sur
prise in the 44O-yard dash by taking first
place by two yards over the Princeton
cracks. Close Snd Captain Sawyer, in the
fast time of 50 rs seconds.
Princeton cleaned up all three places in
the mile run, giving Yale another setback.
In the SS0-yard, Baker. OF Yale; was boxed
by the three Princeton runners and fell,
forcing his retirement from the race. He
was Yales best entry. Morris was a close
second TO Hayes.
Yale looked for possible first IN the 100
yard dash, but Riddell failed to place, his
team mate, Barlow, beating him for third
place, about a foot behind Harland and
Thomas, Of Princeton. in 10 10 seconds An
other surprise came when Yale, regarded
as weak in the low hurdles, took all three
places, Princeton failing even to qualify
man for the finals IN this event
Yale took first easily in the two miles.
when Marsh distanced his field. winning by
forty yards in s:57 49, A close fight for
third place followed, Bischoff defeating
Cross, Of Yale in the final sprint by few
feet.
The Els again showed unexpected
strength In the field events. HARRISON took
second place TO Bissell. OF Princeton, in
the shot putting contest, with a put two
feet better than he has customarily been
doing. The same thing happened in the
hammer throw. when Pickett, of Yale, de-
feated Speers for first place with throw
OF 1879 feet.
Yale's Garrison finish in the broad jump,
winning all three places. tied for the num-
Der Of points. The Blue took seven first
places, tied for one first, FIVE seconds and
tied for one, and four third places. Prince
ton won FIVE f1rsts, seven seconds and eight
thirds.
According TO an old agreement between
Princeton and Yale. when their two track
teams are tied for number Of points, the
team winning the greatest number or nrst
places should be awarded the cup. so the
tie meet will result in Yale's getting one
more leg on the cup by virtue OF the agree
ment
