I BY Telegraph to The Tribune.

dual meets held with Harvard by the
score of IS to IS. Before the meet prac-
tcally everybody conceded the honors to
Harvard by a close margin. Johnny
Mack. of Yale. held card up his sleeve,
however. and by pla ying it at the criti-
cal moment turned the meet Yale's way.
IT was considered the most important
games to win, as Yale and Harvard were
tied two legs each on the cup for which
they are competing. Yale now has three
wins to two. and another will give per
manent possession. Yale won the last
seven-year cup.
The meet to-day saw three new records
made and two old records equalled' de-
spite the fact that IL was a cold, raw day.
Two of the new records were made by
Yale men. in the mile and half-mile.
II was the mile event which practically
decided the meet in Yale's favor. Yale
was conceded but third place in the
event when ii started.
Three Harvard runners kept the lead
for the first three laps Smith and Norris.
of Yale moved up i'm the last lap, Smith
taking the lead half way around and
forcing the pace. As the men rounded
the turn for the final hundred yards all
four sprinted. but Norris had speed in
reserve and sprinted past the three lead
ers. winning by five yards over MacLure'
Of Harvard. who led Smith Of Yale. three
Yards The time was ( minutes 20 sec
onds. four-ffths of second faster than
the old record, which had stood since 1893.
Yale's other record was i'm the half
mile. which was the best performance OF
the day. Brown. the dark horse. who
did | minute 50 seconds against Princeton
last Saturday, again proved his worth by
covering the distance in ! minute 81 go
seconds. which is three and one-fifth sec
onds faster than the old record. made in
1899. Poucher, who has just become eli
eibe, was second. and was also dark
horse Copper. of Harvard, was third
Gable of Harvard. made record BY
hurting the hammer 162 feet. which was
two feet better than Cooney, Of Yale. did
in 1899.
Tie meet hung in the balance up TO the
closing events. After the first four the
teams were tied. and then the lead varied
back and forth, but Yale came strongly
at the finish by winning the low hurdles
220-yard dash and pole vault. which wiped
out the Harvard lead and left safe mar
gin.
The star point winner OF the day was
Tommy Cornell OF Yale, who easily can't
ured both dashes. Yale was disappointed
and seriously disturbed when its star
hurdler. Potter. lost his stride in the high
hurdle and failed 10 qualify in the event
which he was expected 10 win. Shedden
fell while leading in his heat on the next
and last hurdle, and also was shut out.
Jackson and Cummings, OF Harvard
captured the first two places in the hn4l
heat. with Smith. Of Yale. close third.
Potter came back strongly in the low
hurdles and won easily by five yards IN
the fast time of % 3-5 seconds. Shedden
won second over Cummings. OF Harvard
More interest centred in the quarter
mile run thar I'm any other event. as un-
dergraduates had wagered considerable
money on the relative merits OF NilSie'
of Yale. and Barron, Of Harvard. Wilkie
covered the distance on the Yale track
i'm the spring meet i'm IS As seconds. but
to-day was beaten by Barron by three
Yards in 80 seconds The race was neck
and neck until fifty yards from the hnisi'
when Barrons superior strength ana
stride carried him into the lead. Ha'-
ward took all three places in the two
mile run easily, the only event OF the day
I'm which one college took all places.
The field events averased as expected.
Douglas. of Yale. was of form in the
high lump. taking third with only feet
l0I, inches. Through a consistent per
formance at feet Moffatt and camp OF
Harvard, tied for first place an incn
higher. This reverse TO Yale was OFFSET
in the broad jump. both Matthews and
Diggs. OF Yale. beating Gable, OF Har-
ward. who won the event last year. Gap
tain Wagner was an easy winner IN ihe
pole vault. and just failed Of new rec
ord at l2 feet Q inches.
In the final event of the day, the -
ward dash. Cornell. OF Yale, led all tne
way. winning by six yards. Second place
was q tie between Adams and Tower
both Of Harvard.
Points were divided five for first two
for second and one for third place. Yale
won eight first places. TO five for Har-
ward. six seconds 10 seven for Harvard
and five thirds TO nine.
