VALE ALUMNI WHHEEKLY HALF-MILE RUN. Won by John Cregan, ’99, Princeton; John Bray, 1900, Williams, second; A. Grant, 1900, Harvard, third; W. I. Brennan, 1900 S., Yale, fourth. Time, I minute 58% seconds. Intercollegiate record 1.5824, made by Hollister in 18090. The result of this was never in doubt after Cregan went to the front two hundred yards from home, but Bray gave him no time to spare, finishing second with a gap of less than six feet open between him and the winner. Grant was ten yards in the rear and Brennan five yards behind him. This event had been looked upon as nearly sure for R. Grant of Pennsylvania, but for some reason he was not able to hold the pace and dropped out of the race after half the distance. I20-YARDS HURDLE. Final heat won by A. C. Kraenzlein, 1900 D., Pennsylvania; E. C. Perkins, ’98, Yale, second; J. W. Hallowell, 1901, Harvard, third; J. M. McKibbin, ’99 M., Pennsylvania, fourth. Time, 153 seconds. Previous intercollegiate rec- ord 154% seconds, held jointly by Wil- liams of Yale and Chase of Dart- mouth. Kraenzlein sustained the record which. had preceded him for extraor- dinary hurdling and in the prelimina- ries as well as the final easily ran away from the field. In the latter he beat out Captain Perkins of the Yale team, by eight feet. Hallowell was a yard be- hind with McKibbin pushing him hard for third place. The time of this event is within one-fifth of a second of the world’s record. QUARTER-MILE BICYCLE RACE. Final heat won by C. C. F. Schwarz, Columbia; Ray Dawson, Columbia, second; L. B. Dannemiller, George- town, third; J. T. Anderson, ’98, Yale, fourth. Time, 32% seconds. Anderson and Strong were the only Yale men qualifying for this bicycle sprint. The latter, though making a good fight for second place in the finals, could do no better than fourth. Danne- miller showed a great burst of speed in the last hundred yards and was only beaten by Dawson by a few inches, who in turn lapped the winner. 440-YARDS RUN. Final heat won by F. W. Jarvis, 1900, Princeton; H: G. Lee, ’99, Syracuse, second; .C.. F.. Luce, 1900, Yale, third; Be He Pishy ’o0,. (Miarvard, «feursh. Time, . 504% seconds. Intercollegiate record 49% seconds, made by Shattuck of Amherst in r8ot. Ordway and Luce were the only Yale men who qualified for this event. In the finals Luce ran a waiting race, but could not get away from the bunch on the home stretch as it was believed he could. He was beaten at the tape by Jarvis of Princeton, and Lee of Syra- cuse, by a yard. 220-YARDS HURDLE. 220-Yards Hurdle (Semi-Finals)— First heat won by J. L.. Bremer, Har- vard; second, W. G. Moore, Harvard. Time 25% seconds. Second heat won by A.°.C,::Kraenzlein, .Pennsylvania; second, I. W. ‘Hallowell; Harvard. Time 25% seconds. : Final—Won by A. C. Kraenzlein, ’99 D., Pennsylvania; second, J. L. Bremer, Harvard; third, W. G. Morse, Harvard; fourth, J. W. Hallowell; Harvard. Time 2334 seconds. Previous inter- collegiate record 243%, held by Bremer of Harvard in 1895. The work in the preliminary heats on Friday gave some idea of the racing to be expected in this event. Captain Perkins was the only Yale man in the finals and ran a pretty race until the scratch, when he was beaten oitt. Kraenzlein was never. headed, finishing eight yards in advance of Harvard’s best man, Bremer, who held the world’s record for this distance. The time, 233% lowers the world’s record an even sec- ond. | 220-YARDS RUN. Final heat won by J. W. B. Tewks- bury, 799 D., Pennsylvania; J. H. Rush, ’98, Princeton, second; R. D. Hoffman, ‘99 D., Pennsylvania, third; E. J. Green, toor L. S., Harvard, fourth. Time, 213% seconds. Intercollegiate record 21% seconds, made by Wefers in 1896. | Conway of Yale won third place in the second semi-finals, but obtained nothing in the finals. The struggle for first place was a beautiful one between Rush and Tewksbury, the latter pass- ing the Princeton man, who had ob- tained a good lead at the outset, and winning by five yards. Hoffman beat Green out for third place by five or six yards. PUTTING THE I6-POUND SHOT. Won by J. C. McCracken, 1901 M., Pennsylvania, with a put of 43 feet 8 inches; Robert Garrett, graduate, Johns Hopkins, second, with a put of 4o feet 9% inches; E. E. O’Donnell, M.S., Yale, third, with a put of 39 feet 9% inches; W. E. Bottger, ’99, Princeton, fourth, with a put of 39 feet 4 inches. Previous Intercollegiate record, 42 feet 11% inches, made by Hickok of Yale in 1895. It was a foregone conclusion that McCracken would win this event. His put of 43 feet 8 inches broke the Inter- collegiate record of 42 feet 11%4 inches held by W. O. Hickok, ’95. Sutphin, who has been doing good work in prac- tice in the shot put, did not qualify. ONE MILE RUN. Won by John Cregan, ’99, Princeton; A. Grant, 1900 C., Pennsylvania, sec- ond; R. Grant, 1900, Harvard, third; H. Speer, 1900, Yale, tourth, Time, 4 minutes 2336 seconds. Intercollegiate record, 4 minutes 2324 seconds, made by Orton of University of Pennsyl- vania in 1895. The Grant brothers, Richard of Har- vard, and Alex. of Pennsylvania, were expected to win first and second re- spectively for their colleges, but Cregan left the bunch on the back stretch and pulled away so far that he could not be overhauled before the tape was reached. Speer, of Yale, ran a good race and finished on R. Grant’s heels. CONE MILE WALK. Won by W. B. Fetterman, Jr., ’98 M., Pennsylvania; A. N. Butler, 1900, Yale, second; C. W. Ottley, M. S., ’99, Johns Hopkins, third; J. P. Adams, 1900, Yale, fourth. Time, 6 minutes 4524 seconds. Previous Intercollegiate record, 6 min- utes 5246 seconds, made by Borcheling of Princeton. . ; Fetterman far outclassed his oppo- nents and moved away from them at the outset with ease. He was out for a record and did reduce the Intercol- legiate time 724 seconds. His nearest rival at the finish line was Butler of Yale, 50 yards back, while Ottley and ee trailed back twenty yards fur- ther. RUNNING BROAD JUMP. Won by Myer Prinstein, 1901, Syra- cuse, with a jump of 23 feet 734 inches; J. R. Remington, ’98 C., Pennsylvania, second, with a jump of .23 feet 3% inches; A. C. Kraenzlein, 1900 D., Pennsylvania, third, with a jump of 23 feet 1% inches; A. L. Nickerson, 1901, Harvard, fourth, with a jump of 22 feet 2% inches. Previous Intercollegiate record, 22 feet 11% inches, made by Mapes of Columbia in 1801. The competition in this event was in some respects the most remarkable of the meet, the first three men go- ing many inches beyond the best pre- vious Intercollegiate performance, and RUE HOTEL. ALBEMARL YOUMANS | STRAW HATS ARE CORRECT FOR COLLEGE MEN. — the winner Prinstein, corning within an eighth of an inch of the best broad jump ever made anywhere. RUNNING HIGH JUMP. A tie at 5 feet 111%4 inches between C. U. Powell, ’98, of Cornell and J. (ae Winsor, Jr., P. G., Pennsylvania; W. G. Morse, 99, Harvard, third: A. N. Rice, 1900, Harvard, fourth. Intercol- legiate record, 6 feet 3 inches, made by Winsor, University of Pennsylvania, last year. As usual, in case of a tie, the points were distributed equally between the tied men. A toss for the individual prizes put Powell first, Winsor, second; Morse, third; and Rice, fourth. The competition was far below the standard established last year, when the three first men passed 6 feet 1 inch. POLE VAULT. A tie between R. G. Clapp, ’o9 S:, Yale; B. Johnson, 1900, Yale, and W. W. Hoyt, 1900, Harvard, at 11 feet 1 inch, ©. 1. “Dudley, ioo¢6 S.. Yale fourth, with 10 feet 934 inches. Previ- ous Intercollegiate record, 11 feet 35% inches, made by Johnson of Yale in 1897. Clapp did not come up to what he had been doing in practice in the vault by something like 4% or 5 inches. Johnson, also, had done better work some weeks ago, but the weather in this section of the country had been so unfavorable that neither of these men had had an opportunity to do even a small amount of work in preparation. In vaulting off the tie, Hoyt and Clapp tied again at 11 feet 4%4 inches. ‘The points on the first tie were divided and Clapp lost to Hoyt on a toss-up. for first prize. Selin did not qualify. THROWING I16-POUND HAMMER. Won by J. C. McCracken, 1901 M., Pennsylvania, with a throw of 149 feet 5 inches; H. C. Potter, ’98, Princeton, second, with a throw of 138 feet 1 inch; 2, 1... Hare,, 1901; C., ..Pennsylvama, third, with a throw of 124 feet 4 inches;..>..8. ,owtphin; (00.5... Yare fourth, with a throw of 123 feet Io inches. Previous Intercollegiate rec- ord, 136 feet 3 inches, made by Wood- ruff, University of Pennsylvania, last year. McCracken did not seem to put him- self out much to break the Intercol- legiate record by 13 feet 2 inches. He could probably pass 150 feet if pushed, which seems hardly likely just yet. Potter also overcame the record by several feet. Sutphin, Yale’s_ only representative, fell from his practice work and could not get better than 123 feet 10 inches. MILE TANDEM BICYCLE RACE. Final heat won by F. Schade, ’98, and A. Moran, ’99, Georgetown; C. C. F. Schwarz and J. T. Williams, 1900, Col- umbia, second; B. Ripley and H. Mul- ler, 1901, Princeton, third; H. N. Hall and H. S. Waterman, ’99, Columbia, fourth. Time, 2 minutes 16% seconds. FIVE MILE BICYCLE RACE. Final heat won by B. Ripley, 1901, Princeton; Ray Dawson, ’99, Columbia, second; I. A. Powell, ’99, Columbia, third; C. C. Fulton Schwarz, 1900, Col- umbia, fourth. Time, 12 minutes 2634 seconds. Ripley rode a fine race and after do- ing his share of pacing fell into the rear till the last lap, when he shot to the front and could not be overhauled by the best Columbians, though his lead was cut from 40 yards to 6 feet, by Schwarz.
