The annual indoor games of the Boston Athletic Association were held Saturday evening at Mechanics Hall. The attendance was larger than ever before. The meeting was remarkable in that three world's record holders competed: Conneff, Kilpatrick and Chase. None of them got a place in their events oveng to the severity of their handicaps.

The Harvard entries received generous handicaps. Many of the new men showed up well. In the mile run G. Newell '98 took second place after running a remarkably good race. The final heat in the 40 yard handicap dash was composed solely of Harvard men. F. Mason '96 won handily in the fast time of 43/5s. F. B. Fox '96 was a close second, a foot ahead of V. Munroe '96.

In the 40 yards novice, scratch, B. B. Howard '96 took third place. R. H. Loines L. S., was second in the high jump. K. K. Kubli took third place in the 45 yards hurdle race.

The Harvard class team race was won by '99 with '97 a close second, '98 third, and '96 last. Yale was fairly outrun by Princeton in their team race, although Gerard of Yale unfortunately slipped and fell at the finish of his relay. The final event of the evening was the Harvard-Pennsylvania team race, the closest and most exciting of all. The first relay was between Eaton of Harvard and Sterritt of Pennsylvania. Sterritt finished three yards ahead Boyer took Sterritt's place and Eaton touched Marshall, who was slow in getting off. Marshall succeeded in making up the lost ground and finished almost equal with his opponent. In the third relay Harrison of Pennsylvania and Williams of Harvard started out, the Pennsylvania man leading by a yard. Williams passed Harrison in the last lap and finished five yards ahead. The last relay was between Hollister of Harvard and Sichel of Pennsylvania. Hollister increased his lead to ten yards, winning handily amid much enthusiasm.
