The freshman class games on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon were decidedly a success. The events were fairly well contested, and the records as a rule were good. In the running broad jump E. B. Bloss made a record of 21 feet 10 inches, beating the Harvard record by 3 inches. The list of the entries would have been larger had more of the men been able to find the Secretary.
In the 100 yds. dash, as there were only 6 starters, all the men were run in one heat. E. C. Ellis won easily in 10 and 4-5 seconds. E. Y. Kittredge was second.
The 2 mile bicycle race had two entrics. At the end of the first mile Taylor, who had been leading, stopped because something about his machine was loose. Olmsted finished in 6 min. 21 2-5 seconds.
The mile walk was well contested. J. H. Bell kept the lead and won in 7 min. 45 4-5 sec. A. L. Endicott, the only other competitor, was a close second.
There were three entries in the running broad jump. E. B. Bloss was first with 21 ft. 10 in.; T. Richardson second with 20 ft. 10 in.
In the 440 yds. run there were four starters. H. M. Wheelwright took the lead at the 220 mark and finished first in 56 sec. F. Baker spurted down the home stretch, but could not catch Wheel wright. He finished second.
The 120 yards hurdle was won easily by T. Richardson in 19 seconds. W. Hoag was the only other starter.
There were two starters in the mile run, J. O. Nichols and A. R. Whittier. Nichols had the race to himself and finished in 4 min. 52 1-5 sec.
The 880 yards run had two starters. The men kept together for the first lap, then W. M. Cabot drew away and won in 2 min. 21 1-5 sec. C. H. Crane was second.
The running high jump was won by E. B. Bloss, with a jump of 5 ft. 1 3-4 in. B. Wells was second with 5 ft. 1 in. S. Williams, third.
Of the two starters in the 220 yards run, E. C. Ellis won easily in 24 1-5 sec. P. S. Johnson was second.
Owing to an insufficiency of entries, there was no putting the shot, throwing the hammer, or pole vault.
