HARVARD 67; YALE 45.

Harvard Wins after a Close Contest.

Shea was the only Harvard man who put the shot. He began with a put of 40 feet which he increased to 40 ft. 8 in. There he stopped and no Yale man could equal him. Hickok was second with a put of 39 feet and 4 inches with Lyman third.

In the broad jump Bloss broke his previous record by a jump of 22 ft. 4 in. winning first place. He tried several times to beat this but missed his footing or slipped every time and could not approach it. This gave him first place, however. Sheldon of Yale was second with a jump of 22 ft. 2 in. O. W. Shead came in third with 20 ft. 2 1-2 in.

The last event was the running high jump. Yale had but one man, Sheldon, in this and he was tired from his work in the broad jump. Fearing, Chaney and Putnam had little difficulty in taking the first three places. Fearing and Chaney were tied at 5ft. 7 1-2 inches.

Harvard got 9 firsts, 6 seconds, and 10 thirds; Yale got 5 firsts, 8 seconds and 4 thirds.

Below is given the number of points won by Harvard and Yale in each event.
