CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 26.--Every IN
tercollcsiate championship meeting has
It's heroes. This one also has its mar
tyre. The finals Of the ~forty-frst annual
games Of the 7. G. A. A.. A. A. in the
Harvard Stadium tomorrow afternoon
will develop plenty of acclsiN for victors'
but it is highly improbable thai n will
be more popular with the vast multitude
than were the gallant performers with
the mere handful that watched the pre-
liminaries this afternoon.
Harry worthington Of Dartmouth
smashed the intercollegiate record for the
broad Jump that had stood for seven
teen years. vet will get no official credit
for the performance because Of n tech

abou. the records made that yet were
not made.
Worthinston ieaped - feet ~ inches
in his second trial in the broad jump.
The existing record. made by A g.
kracnzlein Of Pennsylvania in 1899. was
% feet Az inches. The Dartmouth mans
remarkable work was void because he
fouled by overstepping the takeon board
an eighth Of an inch.
Murray ran ove- the high hurdles In
- seconds, one-ffth better than the rec
ord Of 4. e. shaw Of Dartmouth. made
In 1905. The trouble with Murray's
mark Is that u brisk wind blew down
the stretch from his back.
There wer. no startling performances
in the o'he events. but the general grade
OF the work was up to expectations for
the preliminary trials and heats. There
we're two heats Of 10 seconds IN the

shot, a log foot hurl Of the hammer and
SIX men cleared the bar at ~ feet 4
