Counted Crimson VIII
Win, So to 81.
DUAL MEET RECORDS GO

NEW HAVEN. May 1S.-Yalc won the
twenty-fourth annual Yale-Harvard dual
track meet here this afternoon by a
score OF Sc points to as. but Harvard
authorities have protested the meet. and
II the protest is upheld the Cambridge
men would win, SO to 81. The Crimson
protest was lodged against w. r. Roos.
who won first place in the shot put.
Harvard contends that the triangular
athletic agreement between Yale. Har-
ward and Princeton, which includes a
three year athletic limit, applies to the
dual meets. Yale's contention to-day
was that II does not. As Wilmington
won fourth place in the shot put. the
reversed score will result II the protest
is decided In Harvard's favor.
Two new dual records were estab-
lished. Wilcox Of Harvard clipped two
ifths OF n second of wilkes old record
when he beat the latter to the tape to-
day by a scant margin OF two feet In
n wonderful race. Wilcox covered the
44O yards In IS seconds fiat. eaualling
the ntercollegiaie record held by Reid
path OF Syracuse.
In the W mile run j. w. Overton
Of Yale lowered his own record OF .
minutes "a 3-5 seconds by two-ifths OF
a serOTu. lie won his race ! thSNs
dlstancing the entire field. lie covered
the final quarter in ! minute l l-5 sec
onds, which officials said was the fastest
tim for a final quarter in that event
ever run In intercollegiate sport.
Harvard's excellent showing against
the Blue was largely due to the fact That
there were men on the team who could
pick up second and third places, al
though Yale annexed eight first places,
exclusive of time. Harvard got eight
seconds and seven thirds in thirteen
events. The summaries:
