THOMSON STAR OF MEET
Finishes First in Hurdles, Shot
and High Jump and Sec
Ond in Discus.

IN 1914 In the grand opening or the
Bowl, and was brought forcibly to the
attention of more than 1000 lovers of
track and field sports this afternoon
when the Princeton Tigers christened
Yale's new track by winning n 1-3
points to AS 2-3
1t was the most impressive dual
meet score ever made by the sons of
Old Nassau. 1t was the nineteenth an
nual meeting between the pupils of
Johnny Mack and Keene Fitzpatrick
and Prnceton's fourth victory over the
long span.
Fitzpatrick brought along one OF the
best balanced track teams Yale ever
faced i'm a dual meet and in only one
event, the two mile, was Princeton UNI
placed. The sturdy Nassau knights oe
the cinder path and the field were
headed by S. Harrison Thomson, Prince
tons all around wonder. who entered
in six events. Between his duties on
the cinder path and his jumping. hur-
ding, shot putting and hammer and jaw
elm throwing he was the busiest man on
the field. not excepting the scorers, who
were obliged to employ all kinds of
mathematics in figuring out the conf
ties. Thomson won 151a points during
the afternoon
The national amateur champion won
the high hurdles and the shot put. tiad
for first in the high Jump and scored
second place in the discus throw. He
also competed in the broad jump and
the hammer throw. but failed to place.
He was the outstanding figure in a ga
laxy of New Jersey athletes.
Campbell Is Beaten.
One of the surprises of the day was
the defeat of Tom Campbell OF Yale by
Johnson of Princeton in the half mile
event. Campbell. Lne of the best half
milers in the East, was saved from taxi
ing part in the Penn relays just to fig
ure in the run to-day, but the Tiger
athlete was too strong, beating Yale's
= flier by four feet.
The two mile run was all Yale's Van
derpyl. Charlie Hilles and Crosby leav-
ing the field a half mile from the tape
and finishing well punched. Curtis of
Princeton hung on we'll for mile and
a half. but the pace was too fast and
he trailed home poor fourth.
The 100 yard dash went to Rusnak of
Yale, who beat McKim of Princeton
by yard. Even time was expected to
be made in this event. but the track was
bit heavy because of the rain of
Thursday and Friday Not a record
was broken, b ut there were some close
rubs.
Mckim beat Feldman of Yale by q
foot in the 220, the Princetonian running
a pretty race In the quarter mile the
Tigers also showed a brilliant runner in
Capt. Bill Stevenson, who finished three
yards in front of Chapman of Yale The
time was good. 40 9-16 seconds. The
new scoring wrinkle in tenths of seconds
was tried out with success. This gets
the time of a runner doown to pretty
fine point
Yale's strength in the mile and two
mile runs helped the Blue team to pre-
sent fairly good score. Conger sprinted
too late in the mile to overcome Nal
Douglas starting his sprint 200 yards
from the finish and overtaking NJ. VIII
son of Yale at the last turn. Thomson
of Princeton was not hard pressed in
the high hurdles by Tony Human of
Yale and he won handily. In the race
over the low timbers Taylor of the
Tigers made easy work of 1t. beating his
teammates Massey and Human.
Massey would have landed second
place in 'tae high hurdles but for trip
ping over the last barrier. HUMAN and
Milliken beating him out as he lost his
stride.
Tigers Rest I'm Field Events.
Princeton's good work in field events
was shown in. the trials and bong before
the meet was over the Tigers clnched
their claim to first place. Doc Jordan.

good rub In the shotput and forced the
Tiger star to put the ball 43 feet IL

tine discus throw, beating Thomson by
inches.
In the javelin. which with the discus
