324 Ate ao WEEKLY about twenty yards of the run in, finish- ing an easy winner in 513% seconds with Clerk second, and Dean, third. Brennan and Richardson, the other Yale starters, were not in the running at any stage of the race. SHOT PUT. Shortly after the completion of the quarter-mile the result of the shotput was announced. Beck, Yale, had won, with 43 feet 5 inches, Ellis and Brown, both Harvard, having secured second and third places respectively. Francis cf Yale proved a great disappointment, his best put measuring less than 37 feet. HIGH JUMP. The high jump, which took place while the preliminary heats for the short dash and high hurdles and the quarter and mile runs were being contested, went solid to Harvard. Rice won with a jump of 6 feet, Rotch was second, and Ellis and Glidden tied for third. With the finals of the hundred and the high hurdles over, Yale’s prospects were brighter than at any time during the afternoon. The teams stood tied with 24 points each, but the doubtful sprint had gone to Yale with a fair ap- portionment of doubtful seconds and thirds. | HALF-MILE RUN. Harvard sent pace-makers ahead in the half, but Smith, Yale’s dangerous man, laid back as he had done in the mile, in spite of the fact that the first lap was run in slow time. On the early part of the second lap he found himself hope- lessly boxed, but finally getting free on the back stretch, sprinted to the front, about 200 yards from the finish. Apple- gate of Harvard, followed him around the turn, second by four yards, with Poynter, Yale, in third position, the other competitors having dropped to the rear. Smith maintained his place until the head of the stretch was reached, when he weakened perceptibly and Ap- plegate began to close up the gap. Then followed a desperate fight on the run-in, and the Harvard man got to the front ten yards from the line and won in 2 minutes and 2 seconds. On the two previous Saturdays, Smith had covered the distance in time a second and three-fifths faster. His hard mile earlier in the afternoon had evidently been too much for him, though a post- ponement of his spurt might have saved him the race. TWO-MILE RUN. Three Harvard men, Richardson, Foote and Blakemore, developed re- markable speed in the two-mile run, and secured all three places. Richardson and Foote ran a killing race, which was finally won in the stretch by the former, in Q minutes 5734 seconds. Waldron, Yale, passed Blakemore on the seventh lap and made plucky try for third place, but the pace was too fast for him and he was finally forced to drop back after holding his lead through 300 yards. BROAD JUMP. The broad jump was completed dur- ing the progress of the long run and, as was expected, turned out an eight-point event for Harvard, Shirk winning with a jump of 21 feet 6%4 inches and Daly and Harris securing second and third place respectively. Ee Well Enough Is the Best, then by all means leave it aloné. Keep on buying Knox Hats. TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY YARDS HURDLE, Hallowell and Hubbard of Har- vard had little difficulty in _beat- ing out Mead, Yale, in the first prelimi- nary heat of the 220-yards_ hurdles. Thomas of Yale, however, qualified in the second heat by running second to Willis of Harvard. The final heat was a race between Hallowell, Thomas and Willis, in which the Yale man ran even with his opponents until he struck his toe on the last flight and lost his stride. Hallowell’s winning time was 254 sec- onds and Willis took second place from Thomas. TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY YARDS DASH. Richards, Yale, won the first trial heat in the 220-yards dash from Clerk and Butler, both of Harvard, in 22% seconds, the best time made in the event and ecual to the Yale-Harvard dual meet record. But two Harvard men covered the distance in the second heat, Lighter and Haigh, and they qualified after trot- ting over the distance second and third to Boardman’s 23% seconds perform- ance. In the finals, Boardman allowed Haigh and Clerk to get fully a three- yards lead on him in the first part of the dash, which he did not begin to close up until about 50 yards from the finish. Then his wonderful stride began to tell and he passed his men at the 200 mark, winning with a yard to spare, in 22% seconds. Clerk and Butler tied for sec- ond place, for Richards, evidently ex- hausted by his three previous hard races, finished a poor fourth. HAMMER THROW. It was expected that Stillman would win the hammer throw if he could keep inside the ring. This he failed to do, however, and the event went to Harvard through Boal’s throw of 144 feet 2% inches. Stillman fouled frequently, spoiling one throw of 149 feet 5 inches by simply being obliged to touch his hand to the ground outside the circle in order to avoid losing his balance. His best fair throw, 134 feet 6 inches, se- cured second place and Ellis, Harvard, after scoring in the shotput and high jump, was third. POLE VAULT. Johnson, Yale, won the pole vanilt without difficulty, but Adriance and Hord, both Yale, were forced to <livide the points for second and third with Hoyt and Prouty, Harvard, at ro feet 6 inches.

The West Point Football Association last week sent to Yale a handsome loy- ing cup, bearing the seals of both insti- tutions, in recognition of the friendly relations existing between the two insti- tutions. The cup was accompanied by a letter from W. Reese Bettison, the Manager of the Football Team, ex- pressing pleasure at the long continued and cordial relations between Yale and West Point, and the hope that friendly relations might be continued in the fu- ture. The Yale Datly News, comment- ing on the incident, says: “Yale accepts MADE BUT. NOT “READY MADE,’ . As you know the word.
