Saturday night the last of the Yale winter meetings for 1887 was held. The tug-of-war was won by the seniors. The running high jump was contested by eight men, and was won with a jump of 5 feet 6 3-4 inches by T. G. Shearman, '89. Page of Pennsylvania is considered good for 5 feet 10 1-2 inches at any time. The next event, which is of interest to Harvard men, was the pole-vault, which was won also by T. G. Shearman. He broke the Yale record with a vault of 10 feet 3 1-2 inches. Harvard's best record this year is but 9 feet 3 1-2 inches. The meeting was closed with sparring and fencing contests, which are of none but local interest.
