TWO NEW RECORDS
AND ONE EQUALED
Cornell Wins Meet-New Marks by
oler Of Yale in High Jump and
Bailey CT Maine in Hammer.

Although the wonderful track team
OF Cornell won only one first place
and got into a triple tie for another
in the 10th annual games Of the Inter
collegiate Association of Amateur
Athletes At Franklin field, Philadel-
phia Saturday, the team won first
place with 4512 points. Harvard was
second with 26, beating Yale by one
point. Princeton and Pennsy' vania
tied for fourth place with Fl points
each. Dartmouth and Michigan were
in a tie for fifth place with IA points
each. Columbia was sixth with 10,
Maine seventh with nine, Penn State
eighth with six, Johns Hopkins ninth
with IL and Technology and Bow
doin last with one each.
Two new records were established
and one equalled. Wesley NJ. Oler of
Yale cleared 6 feet AZ inches in the
running high jump after great leap
ing duel with Alva W. Richards of Cor
nell, the winner of the Olympic games
jump at Stockholm in 1912.
Oler's feat displaced the association
record Of 6 feet 3H inches made by
Y. Mohit of Pennsylvania eight years
ago, and the collegiate record of six
feet four inches made by w. B. Page
J.
winning second place with g feet 312
inches, also surpassed Moffitt Is record.
70 ii. p. Bailey Of the university of
Maine, a new member of the associa-
ton, went the honor of breaking the
second record. Names husky collie
gian sent the l6-pound hammer 16j
feet p inch, in his preliminary trial
Friday, winning first place and adding
70 70 FOL a 4
by John r. Dewitt. the famous
Princeton football player, in 1902.
The individual championships were
fairly well distributed. Smith, the
Wolverines sprinter, accounted for the
spriuts; Meredith Of Pennsylvania, the
40 and sSO-yards runs; r. B. Fergu-
son Of Pennsylvania, the l20-yards hur-
die. A. w. Stewart of Princeton, the
22oyards hurdles; |. d. Mackenzie OF
Princeton, the mile; ID. #. Potter OF
Cornell, the two-mile; ii. p. Bailey OF
Maine, the hammer throw; l.. \. Whit
ucv of Dartmouth, shot put; H. T
-Worthington of Dartmouth, broad
jump; w. NJ Oler of Yale, high jump,
while l.. Carter of Yale, NJ. l.. Greeley
of Harvard and F. K Foss of Cornell
all tied for first in the pole vault at 1.
feet even.
Far more sensational than the break
ing Of the records was the marvellous
running of Ted Meredith of Pennsyl
vania in the quarter and half mile runs
lie took both Of these events, showing
dazzling class when he won the 440 i
IS seconds fat, within a fifth of a see
ond of the world s amateur record, he'll
10y Maxey Long, and equaling the in
tercollegiate mark set by Reidpath o
Syracuse, 1912, for track with on
turn.
Later in the day Meredith agai
came out to win the half in I'm >
2-5s. one second only under the inter
collegiate record, held by Dave Gale
well Of Cornell, and the American co
lcgiatc record, jointly held by Gale
well and Fitzpatrick of Union colleg,
Meredith s feat of winning these tw
guelling races at the intercollegiate
has not been accomplished within tn
memory of the present generation. NJ
for 81 years has the same runner bee
able to accomplish what Meredith SUI
eeeded in accomplishing.
1t was back in 1884 that William !
Goodwin of Harvard won both tt
quarter and half-mile runs, the gret
Harvard runner, however, also takin
both in 1888 and in 1882.
