Tennis was the only branch of the

they lost to Turnbull and Woosnam,

The expenses of the Japanese

partly by public subscription. The
total cost is estimated at $4,000.

The shot put was the finest eXhibi.
tion of weight throwing the world
has ever seen. Although Hartranfft
of Stanford won, Hills Of Princeton
was consistently placing the shot at
over forty-nine feet. The Princeton
ian was but half an inch behind Hart
ranffts record put of 40 feet SIS
incheS.
The discus throwing was remark
able and the record is questioned, not
because the wind was blowing with
the throw, but because it is thought
the opposing breeze tended to keep
the missile longer in the air. Hart
ranfft. Houser and Arthur all threw
the saucer more than 154 feet 6
inches.
The pole vaulters were most both
cred by the wind because the cross
bar and standards swayed badly in
the gale. owen. Sheriff.. Libby,
Scholp and Durfee many times were
blown back as they went into the
air.
Wolf of Penn ran two more races
than his opponents in the hurdles,
because, before the final, he had to
qualify in extra heats. 1t is VOLTS
first year in hurdling and in another
season he promises to be the peer of
Earl Thomson.

their rivals and as consequence the
