Yale tied Princeton in their annual dual track meet at New Haven on Saturday, the final score being 58 1-2 to 58 1-2. Princeton excelled on the track and for the first time in many years was almost Yale's equal in the field events. Fiske of Princeton tied with Wagoner of Yale at a height of 12 feet, 6 7-8 inches in the pole-vault, which was conceded to be Yale's strongest event. Princeton was strong in the 100-yards dash, 220-yards dash, 880-yards run, mile-run, and the shot-put.
The outcome of the meet was in doubt until the last event, the broad jump, and in this Yale managed to win the nine points necessary to tie Princeton in the total score. In spite of the tie score, Yale claimed the meet because of a clause in the agreement between the Yale and Princeton track associations, to the effect that when there is a tie on the total points, the team winning the greater number of firsts shall be declared the victor.
