PENN. WINS.
The Events of the Intercollegiate Re-
ported in Detail.
oe
The University of Pennsylvania won
the Twenty-second annual Intercolle-
giate Track and Field Meet at Berke-
eley Oval on Saturday, beating out
Yale, her closest rival, by nearly 10
points.
The meet was notable for the fact
that new records were established in
three of the field events, and that
Wefers was beaten in the 220 yard run.
Winsor of Pennsylvania added two in-
inches to his record jump of 6 feet 1
inch made last year; Johnston of Yale
surpassed by seven-eights of an inch
the pole vault record of 11 feet 23-4
inches, held jointly by Hoyt of Harvard
and Bucholz of Pennsylvania; and
Woodruff of Pennsylvania threw the
hammer 71-2 inches further than the
best in the intercollegiate throw, made
by Hickok in 1895. The times in the
track events were all affected by the
stiff wind which blew directly up the
home stretch and added fractions of
a, second to times in the high hurdles,
440-yard and 229-yard runs, which
might otherwise have endangered in-
tercollegiate records for the distance.
A feature of the games was the
strong showing made by Princeton,
which college, for the first time in
years, was a prominent factor in the
Intercollegiate and came within a frac-
tion of a point of tying Harvard for
third place.
The victory of Pennsylvania was due
to the presence of star atheletes on her
team, rather than to any pronounced
superiority in the all-around develop-
ment of the team itself. Yale lost ex-
pected points in the shot and hammer
events, particularly, and in the mile
walk, in which all four of her repre-
sentatives were disqualified in succes-
sion by the judges of walking, Mr.
Dimse. Mr. C. H. Sherrill, Yale ’89,
protested the event on the grounds that
the judge had not warned the Yale
men sufficiently. The matter was re-
ferred to the Executive Committee of
the Association for future considera-~-
tion.
Below is given a summary of the
different events of Saturday, the pre-
liminaries having been disposed of on
Friday. The bicycle races, which form
a part of tht Intercollegiate, will not
occur until Saturday next, but the
eight points which hinge on this event
are not sufficient to permit by any possi-
bility a reversal of the verdict in the
other events.
ONE HUNDRED YARDS RUN.
Semi-final round. First heat won by B.
J. Wefers, ’98, Georgetown; R. D. Hoff-
man, ’99, Pennsylvania, second; F. W.
Jarvis, Princeton, 1900, third. Time, 103-5
seconds. Second heat won by C. D. Wnhit-

tercoliegiate record for the distance, 9 4-5
seconds, made by Wefers last year.
Wefers, Hotfman and Jarvis, the
three sprinters who, from their show-
ing in the preliminaries, were thought
to be the most likely winners, met in
the first heat and finished in the order
named about two feet apart. Byers,
of Yale, who had qualified in the pre-
liminaries, was also in this heat but
could get not better than fourth place.
In the second heat Whittemore of Sy-
racuse, who has a record of 10 seconds,
and Fisher of Yale, ran what was al-
most a dead heat, the former winning
by a few inches. Redpath of Harvard
was third. In the finals Wefers won
by four feet from Fisher, who reversed
the order of the previous heat by beat-
ing out Whittemore for second place
by a narrow margin.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY YARDS
HURDLES.

Harvard, second; Van Buren, _ Yale,
third. Time, 16 seconds. Intercollegiate
record, 154-5 seconds, held jointly by
Williams, Yale, and Chase, Dartmouth.
Perkins and Van Buren ran like a
teana in the first heat, until the last
three hurdles, when the former drew
away from his team-mate. In the
second heat Thompson and Van Ingen
got off to-gether ahead of the others
but Fox of Harvard came up swiftly
and beat Van Ingen out for second
place at he tape, Thompson getting
first. The final was a beautiful race,
all four of the survivors from the pre-
liminary trials getting over the first
hurdles in line. Perkins then began
to leave his opponents with Fox in hot
pursuit. The Yale man jumped a lit-
tle too high over the ninth hurdle and
YALE- ALU MeN.
Fox drew even, but Perkins made @
beautiful finish and won by over a
foot. Van Buren finished ahead of

tercollegiate record, 49144 seconds, made
by G. B. Shattuck of Amherst, 1891.
Burke cut out ahead at the first turn
and never left the result in doubt
thereafter. He was closely followed by
Hoffman of Pennsylvania, Garvan Of
Yale keeping in third position. At the
second turn Garvan began his spurt,
passed Hoffman and ran a well judged
race to the tape, which he reached S1x
yards behind Burke and about 18 inches
ahead of Hoffman who had been gain-
ing at the finish.

vania; J. EF. Cregan, ’99, Princeton, sec-
ond; D. Grant, M. Harvard, _ third.

the first quarter, but dropped out soon
after and Poynter of Yale led the field
to the half way mark which was
reached in 2 minutes 11°4-5 seconds.
Here there was a general closing up,
Cregan being ahead at the _ three-
quarter mark, with Wright of Brown,
who was making his spurt, second, and
Orton third. Then began a beautiful
struggle between Cregan and Orton for
first place. Cregan led all the way to
the back turn and neck and neck they
entered the home-stretch and spurted
for the tape. For fifty yards they ran
as if yoked to-gether, but Orton had
the most strength left and _ breasted
the tape a winner by five yards. Grant
this
of Harvard finished ten yards behind.
Cregan. Speer of Yale, who defeated
Grant in the Yale-Harvard games,
could not get better than fifth place,
although he tried hard to score.
ONE MILE WALK.
Won by W. B. Fetterman, 98, Pennsyl-
vania;*»J. D. Phillips, ’97, Harvard, sec.
ond; EK. C. Zeller, 99, Cornell, third. Time,
6 minutes, - 55 4-5 seconds. Intercollegiate
record, 6 minutes, 52 4-5 seconds, made by
Borcheling of Princeton.
Fetterman started off in the
with Butler
and Darrach of Yale were ruled off by
the judge in the first quarter. Butler
of Yale kept close to Fetterman for
two laps, when he was disqualified by
the judge who declared his style un-
fair. This left Hitchcock as the only
Yale representative on the track, and
in response to the cheers of the Yale
spectators he advanced from sixth to
fourth place. He was steadily over-
hauling the man in front of him on the
back stretch of the last lap when, ap-
parently without being warned, he was
ordered from the track by the judge,
Mr. Dimse of the Pastime A, C. Mr.
C. H. Sherrill in behalf of Yale filed
a protest but it is not likely that the
Executive Committee will take any ac-
tion in the matter, as the decision in
regard to what constitutes fair walk-
ing must in the nature of the case
rest entirely with the association’s
officials.

TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY YARDS
HURDLES.

Princeton ‘made a good fight against
Morse of Harvard in the second trial.

in the first heat while only first and
second places in the second heat ad-
mitted to the final event. This left Per-
kins the only Yale man in the finals,
He kept up his phenomenally consist-
ent form and won, from Morse of Har-—
vard over the last hurdle by a yard,
and only the wind prevented the time
from being a record. It was a beautiful
race. Bastian finished a good third
ahead of Jones.

SIXTEEN POUND HAMMER.
Won by W. G. Woodruff, ’$7, Pennsyl-
vania, with a throw of 1386 feet, 3 inches;
J. C. McCracken, ’99, Pennsylvania, sec-
ond, throw, 1388 feet, 3 inches; C.. Chad-
Wick, ’97, Yale, third; throw 129 feet, 6
inches. Previous intercollegiate record,
oie 74% inches. made by Hickok in in
Woodruff failed to excel his record
throw in the preliminary trials, but this
proved sufficient to give him first place.
Chadwick of Yale could not equal his
practice throws and was unable to se-
cure a higher relative position than he
did in the trials.
POLE VAULT.
Won by B. Johnson, 1900, Yale, with a
vault of 11 feet, 354 inches; W. W. Hoyt,
M. S., Harvard, second; vault, 11 feet,

Tyler, Princeton, tied with Clapp for-
third place in the regular competition,
but in the vault-off for the medal, Clapp
disposed of his rivals. The point how-
ever, was divided in three according to
the rules of the meet. Johnson’s vault
establishes a new intercollegiate record.
RUNNING HIGH JUMP.
Won by J. D. Windsor, Jr., ’97, Pennsyl-
vania, with a jump of 6 feet, 3 inches;
second, R. C. Merwin, 99S8., Yale; jump,
6 feet, 1 inch; -third,--le-K. Baxter, . *99,
Trinity, third; jump, 6 feet, 1 inch.
The five men who qualified in the
trials on Friday contested in the finals.
There have not been so many star high
jumpers for years as there has been
this year. While the officials were pre-
paring for the mile run the spectators
were startled by the announcement
that all five of the high jumpers had
cleared six feet. Winsor disposed of his
opponents at 6 feet 1 inch, but he con-
tinued in an attempt to beat the record.
He succeeded in surpassing by two
inches the record jump made by him-
self last year. Merwin, Yale; Morse,
Harvard; Carroll, Princeton and Bax-
ter, Trinity, tied at 6 feet in the con-
tests for the other points. Second and
third points were therefore added to-
gether and divided up between the four
colleges. In jumping off for the prizes
Merwin was the first to clear 6 feet 1
inch, thus winning second. prize, while
Baxter succeeded in disposing of the
other men in the contest for. third
medal.

THE CUP.
The old intercollegiate cup was first
competed for in 1876 and went into the
possession of Harvard in 1889, she
having won a majority of times dur-
the period of 14 years for which it was
offered. The new cup was first con-
tested for in 1890. It is the gift of the
college graduate members of the Berke-
leyAthletic Club and will be awarded
to the college winning it the majority
of times between the years 1890 and
1904. Harvard has won the cup three
times, in 1890, 1891 and 1892; Yale four
times, in 1898, 1894, 1895 and 1896, while
Saturday’s victory was the first that
Pennsylvania won in the competition
for the trophy.
