    In the finals of the 100-yard dash
Yale had four men entered and Har-
vard two, and all three places went to
Yale. Graff was leading till within a
few yards of the finish, when he broke
a tendon in his leg, but still managed to
capture second place. He fell immedi-
ately after passing the tape. He is not
expected to run any more this year,
if ever again.
The mile run was prehaps the great-
est feature of the afternoon. Grant
of Harvard had a record of 4:27 2-5,
while the best Yale record was held
by Buckingham, fully five seconds
slower. Spitzer, 1900, was sent as a
sacrifice. He set up a hard pace for
two laps, and cajoled Grant into an
effort to pass him. Buckingham and
Speer, an untried Freshman, held a
steady pace, and within 100 yards of
the tape spurted past the Harvard
man, easy winners in 4:31 2-5.
In the half-mile race Hinckley of
Yale fell into a pocket of three Har-
vard men, Hollister being in the lead.
This looked dangerous for Yale until
Hollister spurted toward the finish,
and left Hinckley an opening in the
front end of the pocket to run ahead
and secure second place.
In the 220-yard dash Fisher ran a
beautiful race for Yale, taking first
place in 22 2-5 seconds, while Byers
and Chappell finished second and
third, respectively. Perkins of Yale
won both hurdle races in excellent
form, and in the bicycle race Tweedy,
Butler and Hill of Yale rode very clev-
erly, and took all three places. In the
high jump Merwin of Yale won first
place, and then continued his efforts,
the bar being raised inch by inch till
it reached the height of 6 ft. 2 1-4 in.
He failed at the next try. His per-
formance beats the Intercollegiate rec-
cord by 1 1-4 inches.
In general all the Yale men did their
very best. The Harvard men com-
plained that the track was heavier
than they had been accustomed to,
but could not explain their defeat by
this fact. Yale’s great strength
seemed to lie in the number of men
in the various events. Her team is not
composed of a few “stars,” but in-
cludes many men of very good ability.
This allowed her to capture manv
second and third places as well as
firsts. Another pleasing feature was
that many of Yale’s successful win-
ners were Seniors, who have
working hard and steadily for their
“Y” during the past three years. The

Record Inter-appointment
Games.
The Record has continued the custom
established two years ago of arranging
a series of interappointment base ball
games. Already the preliminary round
of the tournament has been completed.
Some of the games have been quite
close, although loosely played, and at-
tracted cdnsiderable interest and
caused abundant amusement. ‘There
are ten teams in all and the champion-
ship will be decided as in a tourna-
ment, each team, as soon as defeated,
withdrawing from the contest.

YALE GOLFERS WIN.
Victory in First Intercollegiate Tour-
nament.
The Intercollegiate Golf Association
held its first regular tournament on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week at the Ardsley Casino, on the
Hudson above Dobbs’ Ferry. The con-
tests consisted of two events, one for
the individual golf championship of
the colleges, the other a team cham-
pionship. The former was played on
Wednesday, being a scratch, medal
play. Twenty-two contestants entered.
Louis P. Byard, Jr.,- of Princeton,
won, covering the round. eighteen
holes in ninety-one strokes. Roderick
Terry, Jr., Yale ’98, and W. Bayard
Cutting, Jr., of Harvard, each covered —
the course in ninety-two. In this con-
test, all of the six Yale men competing
were numbered among the first nine.
The four competing colleges in the
team .championship contest were Yale,
Harvard, Columbia and Princeton. The
Yale team consisted of: Roderick Ter- —
ry, Jr., ’98; W. Rossiter Betts, ’98; Craig
Colgate, ’97S.; Walter B. Smith, ’99;.S.
Albert Smith, ’99, and John Reid, Jr.,
7°99. Counting was by holes, not by
strokes, as on the previous day. Yale
won an easy victory from Princeton,
scoring thirty-five holes to four. Co-
lumbia lost to Harvard, fifty-four to
nothing. Yale and Harvard played the
final match on Friday, Yale winning by
a score of twenty-four holes to four.
Yale’s work was consistent throughout,
Joseph H. Choate, Jr., being the only
Harvard man to score for his team.
On this occasion Roderick Terry, Jr., ’98,
Yale’s captain, established a new ama-
teur record for the eighteen holes, doing
the course in eighty-four strokes. This
is two less than the previous best rec-
ord, and seven strokes better than L.
P. Byard’s winning score on Wednes-
day, which gave him the individual in-
tercollegiate championship. The greens, .
however, were in much better condition.
and the weather much more favorable.
The credit of the contest is largely
due to the Greens Committee of the
Ardsley Casino, through whose efforts
the Intercollegiate Golf Association. was
organized in New York, last January.
The prizes are the gift of the Ardsley
Casino Club. The Ardsley Cup for the
team match is in the form of a Gre-
cian urn, nineteen inches high, and
will become the property of the college
first winning three tournaments. Each °
member of the Yale team received as
a@ souvenir, a miniature reproduction,
in solid silver, of the Cup, three inches
in height and suitably engraved.

Yale and the Intercollegiate.
Very general satisfaction is felt over
the manner in which the University
Athletic Team has been trained this
year. The men have been handled with
much care, and have not been over-
trained. In the Harvard games the
contestants were in excellent physical
condition, and it is expected that the
whole team will not become too fine by
May 29, when the Intercollegiate games
are held. As to the outcome of these,
it is almost impossible to predict with
any certainty. Yale could probably de-
feat any one of the competing teams
in a dual contest, but Pennsylvania
may take enough first places with their
star men to win the games. These two
Colleges are the favorites, and the
chances of the cup being brought back
to New Haven another year are very
good. Still the great victory over Har-
vard is not considered by any means
an indication of a sure victory for
the Blue in the approaching contests.
the track team, too, is of this opinion
and no relaxation in their work is no-
ticed.

New England Tennis Tourna-
ment.
The tenth annual tournament for the
. championship of New England, open to
all comers, will be held at the grounds
of the New Haven Lawn Club, Whitney
Avenue, on Tuesday, May 25, and fol-
lowing days. The New England cham-
pionship cup is now held by Mr. Arthur
E. Foote, °96. The cup will become the
property of any one winning it for
three years (not necessarily consecu-_
tive). The entrance fee is $2 in the
singles and $4 in the doubles. Entries
must be made to C. P. Dodge, 22 Col-
lege Street, on or before May 24.

In consideration of the offer made by
the University of Pennsylvania to fur-
nish a new cup to be contested for in
the Intercollegiate Tennis Association,
if the place of the tournament were
changed from New Haven to Philadel- -
phia, it is thought that this change will
be made. The entire vote of the col-
leges in the Association has not yet
been taken, but indications at present
point to a tournament at Philadelphia.

WHE KLY
BALL NINE PROGRESSES.
Work Grows Steadier—Second Victory
Over Brown.
*
The work of the baseball team for
the last week has been most satisfac-
tory. The game with Brown on Sat-
urday at Providence showed that the
team were playing well together and
put a great deal of snap into their
work. Since the Wesleyan game on
May 8, A. Goodwin, 1900, has been
catching. He is remarkably quick be-
hind the bat, and is capable of hold-
ing Greeway. It is expected that M.
L. Fearey, ’98, will resume playing
within a week, as his hand, which was
cut in the Wesyelan game, is doing
well. B. W. Farnham, ’95S., has joined
the squad, and has been playing left
field. G. Greenway, ’98S., has been
troubled with malaria during the
Spring. He left on Tuesday for Vir-
ginia, where he will be for about a
week. E. F. Hamlin, M. S., who playea
second base during the beginning of
the season, has been pitching lately,
and his work is steady. C. M. Reed,
’°97, has taken Hamlin’s place at sec-
ond base. The team for the last week
has been coached by Dr. Fred Rustin,
°95S. The prospects for the Princeton
and Harvard games seem very bright
at present.
YALE, 6; BROWN, 5. -
Yale played against Brown at Provi-
dence Saturday, May 15, and won in a
close and exciting game by the score
of 6 to 5. Up to the seventh inning
the game looked very doubtful for
Yale, but two runs were then obtained
by good batting, and the score tied.
The winning run came in the seventh
inring. The Yale team. played steady
and hard in the field, but owe their
victory chiefly to fFincke’s batting,
which consisted of two three-base hits
and one two-base hit. Camp’s two
Singles also came at timely moments.
Greenway pitched a very effective
game, allowing only five hits, and was
well supported by Goodwin behind the
