cross country champions of Yale Uni
versity, showed a pretty piece Of run
ming last night, decisively defeating
five other rivals in the Jasper three
quarter, the feature race Of the IN
nual indoor games Of Manhattan Col
lcCc. Moving 20 the front shortly
after the first lap. the Eli athlete
blazed the trail 10 the finish, winning
as he pleased by fifteen yards. HIS
time of 1907 3-5 proved only three
fiths of a second behind the best m
door mark for the distance, made by
Mike Duscoll m the 18th Regimen
mory al Buffalo several years ago.
Coming home in second place, Tor
his first defeat in his many indoor spe-
cial races during the present season,
was Dave Caldwell. the Boston Athletic
Association champion The distance
appeared to be a trine long for Cald-
well, though he failed TO run a heady
race. allowing Overton TO get away TO
q big lead. At the distance the Yale
student appears 20 have no equal IN
the East. Sydney /. Leslie, the Long
Island Athletic Club runner, ran an
into third place on the last lap.
The three other starters were Nike
Devanney, OF the Millrose A. A.; James

were never serious contenders, and
dropped out.

letic Club. defeated the gritty Charles
Pores, representing the Millrosc Ath-
letic Association, in nip-and-tuck
fight on the final Jap OF the three-mlle

making during the last mile. When the
final bell was sounded lIeydet sprintcd
after the leader who was some ten
yards in advance OF him. They came
together ar the head OF the back stretch.
and I'm a ride-for-stride finish Heydet
moved u front fifteen yards from the
tape, 10 win By three yards.

leg on the Victor T. Ritter trophy in
winning the one-mile interscholastic
relay race. Eliot Balestier. the Morris
anchor. who mas no peer IN the middle
distance races iu the local ranks. made
The victory possible. On the final relay
