PENN, WINS AGAIN.
Yale in Third Place in Intercollegi-
ates—Records Broken.
The twenty-fourth annual meet of the
Intercollegiate Athletic Association was
held at Manhattan Field, New York
City, on Saturday afternoon, May 27.
In accordance with the custom of the
past few years all trial heats in the runs
up to the mile run had been held on
Friday afternoon, as had the qualifying
rounds in the field events.
- University of Pennsylvania easily took
first place, largely through the fine per-
formance of four of her athletes, A. C. .
Kraenzlein, 1900; J. W. B. Tewksbury,
99; J. C. McCracken, 1901, and Alex.
Grant, 1900, these men between them
scoring forty-three of their University’s
fifty-seven points.
As first place in the meet had been
conceeded to University of Pennsyl-
vania the chief interest lay in the battle
for second place between Harvard and
Yale. When the final summing up of
the points scored by the teams of these
two Universities had been made, it was
found that Harvard had won from Yale
by 28 points to 22% points. One of the
surprises of the meet was the fine show-
ing made by the team from Syracuse
University. They failed by but one
point of tieing Princeton for fourth
place, and ‘had their crack sprinter
Whittemore been in his true form, it is
safe to say that they would have beaten
them out. As it was the points stood
Ir to 10 in favor of Princeton. The
remaining 14% points of the meet were
distributed as follows: Columbia 5;
Cornell 5; Williams 3; Georgetown I;
Haverford ¥%.
Track athletics have never been
popular in New York, and it was there-
fore a surprise that as many as 5,000
people should be present to witness the
sports. However, it was not a col-
lege crowd. Pennsylvania supporters
were the only ones making any pre-
tence to cheering, though an occasional
cheer from the track house was given
for Yale, Harvard and Princeton.
GOOD WEATHER BUT BAD TRACK.
The weather on both Friday and Sat-
urday was ideal for athletics, but the
accommodations for both spectators
and contestants were miserable. Sel-
dom if ever, has an athletic event of |
any importance been held on a field as
little fitted for it. The track was in
wretched condition—full of holes and
soft places—that made very fast time
next to impossible. However, the in-
tercollegiate record for the quarter mile
run of 49% seconds, made by G. B.
Shattuck, Amherst in 1891, was low-
ered to 492% seconds by M. W. Long,
Columbia, and A. C. Kraenzlein, Penn-
sylvania, clipped a fifth of a second off
his record of 1534 seconds for the
120 yards hurdle, made last year. In
the field events, despite the take offs,
which were execrable, two intercol-
legiate records were broken. In the pole
vault R. G. Clapp, ’99S., cleared the
‘bar with ease at 11 feet 2 inches, where
the other three point winners failed.
He then had the bar raised to 11 feet
s inches, half an inch higher than the
intercollegiate record, which he and W.
W. Hoyt, Harvard, established last

year. On his third effort Clapp cleared
the bar with quite a little margin. He
then placed the bar at 11 feet 11%
inches, and made an attempt to break
his own world’s record of 11 feet 10%
inches, but was unable to do so, his
failure being attributable to the poor
condition of the run and take off.
The feature of the games was the
world’s record broad jump of A. C.
Kraenzlein, Pennsylvania. On his sec-
ond try Friday, he jumped 24 feet 4%
inches, and immediately followed this
by a jump of 24 feet 9% inches, but
fell back. The first mentioned jump
breaks the world’s record by an inch.
For Yale, aside from Clapp, in the
pole vault, Captain T. R. Fisher, ’99 S.,
did the best work. Though beaten out
by some yards by Long, in the quarter,
lhe rapidly cut down the winner’s lead
in the last hundred yards, and defeated
Luce, 1900, by about ten yards for sec-
ond place. D. Boardman, 1902, though
getting second place in 220 yards dash,
did not run as well as was expected.
He was fully ten yards behind Tewks-
bury, who won out in the not excep-
tional time of 213% seconds. B. John-
son, 1900, and E. C. Waller, ’995S.,
deserve great credit for their perfor- -
mances. The former, despite a strained
ankle, took second place in the pole
vault while Waller a sick man, managed
to divide fourth place in the high jump.
Yale’s defeat by Harvard may be at- .
tributed to the unexpected showing of
Cornell in the pole vault and to the
accident to Blount, 1900, in his trial heat
in the hundred yards dash.
THE SUMMARY.
The summary follows:
100 Yards Dash—Final heat: Won
by J. W. B. Tewksbury, Pennsylvania;
F. W. Jarvis, Princeton, second; T. B.
McClain, Pennsylvania, third; F. J.
Quinlan, Harvard, fourth. Time, 10
seconds.
Yale had no man in the finals of this
event, though C. Dupee, 1901, qualified.
F. A. Blount, 1900, had been expected
to score, but in his trial Friday, when
leading by a good margin, he strained
- a tendon in his leg and hopped in third.
In the final heat it was a nip and tuck
race between Tewksbury and Jarvis.
The “latter got a> poor. start; but. at
seventy-five yards they were even and
at the finish Tewksbury forged a few
inches ahead. McClain and Quinlan
ran a goad race for third place, two or
three yards back of the leaders.
120 Yards Hurdle—Final heat: Won
by A. C. Kraenzlein, Pennsylvania; L.
Z. Fox, Harvard, second; W. F. Lewis,
Syracuse, third; W. M. Fincke, Yale,
fourth. Time, 1524 seconds.
Kraenzlein took matters into his own
hands from the start and rapidly in-
creased his lead, finally winning in rec-
ord time. Fox was some yards back,
but led Lewis and Fincke, who ran a
close race for third place, by a couple
of yards. Fincke was Yale’s only en-
try and was beaten out by a scant foot.
Mile Run—Won by J Cregan,
Princeton; J. Bray, Williams, second;
CG Bo Spitver; ‘90, “Yale, thind= HP:
Smith, 1900, Yale, fourth. Time, 4
minutes 25% seconds.
This was one of the exciting features
of the meet. H. Speer, 1900, started by
setting a rapid pace, while the four win-
ners kept well back in the bunch; at the
end of the second lap Cregan and Bray
moved up, but not until the last half
of the final quarter did they make their
spurt. Then Bray broke away closely
followed by Cregan and Spitzer and
Smith. Bray and Cregan raced to-
gether to within twenty yards of the
tape, where Cregan drew away and won
out. Spitzer was ten yards behind,
Smith pushing him for third place.
Quarter Mile Run—Final heat: Won
by: Mei tWe suone. Columbias.* 1... ak:
Fisher, Yale, second; C. F. Luce, Yale,
third, J. E. Mulligan, Georgetown,
fourth. Time, 49% seconds.
The men ran bunched for the first
two hundred yards, then Long drew
rapidly away on the turn. Coming in-
to the straight-away Fisher began cut-
ting down his lead of twenty-five yards,
until at the tape not more than five
yards separated them. Luce passed
Mulligan fifty yards from finish and fin-
ished a good third. Mulligan fainted
dead away and had to be carried to his
dressing room.
Two Mile Run—Won by Alex. Grant,
Pennsylvania; E. A. Mechling, Pennsyl-
vania, second; H. W. Foote, Harvard,
third; C. Terrance, Cornell, fourth.
Time, 10 minutes 326 seconds,
Does this ad Pay?
It certainly does, if it suggests to gradu-
ates of Yale, in whatever part of the
country they may be, that they may
still use their college furnisher.

This event was on the program for
the first time this year. It took the
place of the walk and seemed to be too
severe an event for a meet of this kind.
Only half a dozen men finished and
among these not a Yale representative,
Chittenden being the last man to drop
out on the last lap. Grant took the
lead from the start and seemed to in-
crease it at every stride, finally winning
by over thirty yards. The rest of the
field was scattered. ae
220 Yards Hurdle—Final heat: Won
by A. C. Kraenzlein, Pennsylvania; W.
G. Morse,. Harvard, second; J. W. Hal-
lowell, Harvard, third; W. P. Reming-
ton, Pennsylvania, fourth. Time, 23%
seconds.
Yale had no representative in this
event.
by ten yards from Morse, while Hallo-
well, five yards behind, led Remington
by a like distance. Harvard surely lost
a point by Converse falling at the
eighth hurdle in the semi-final heat.
220 Yards Dash—Final heat: Won by
J. W. B. Tewksbury, Pennsylvania; D.
Boardman, 1902, Yale, second; J. F.
Quinlan, Harvard, third; R. A. Waite,
Syracuse, fourth. Time, 2134 seconds.
Tewksbury seemed trained to the hour
while with Boardman it was quite the
reverse. The winner had the race well
in hand from the start and won by ten
yards. Boardman, at a hundred and
fifty yards, had a good lead for second
place. Here Quinlan started to cut
this down, but Boardman was able to
hold his position by five yards. Waite
almost beat Quinlan out at the finish.
Half-Mile Run—Final heat: Won by
T. E. Burke, Harvard; Alexander
Grant, Pennsylvania, second; J. P.
Adams, 1900, Yale, third; W. D. Bren-
nen, 1900S., Yale,
minute 584% seconds.
Yale hoped for a victory in this event,
but never for a moment was Adams
dangerous, although the time was slower
than his time in the meet with Harvard
two weeks before. Cregan had the
pole, Grant next, Adams next, then
Burke and Brennan. Burke took the
lead immediately and kept it for nearly
the first quarter. Then Brennen
jumped ahead. At the last turn Burke
followed by Adams came to the front.
They raced together, but soon Adams
dropped back so tired that Grant was
able to pass him. Brennan was a close
