AMSLER OF PENNSYLVANIA WINNING THE 120- YARD HURDLE 



1.56; while Dray, who vaulted n feet io-)^ 

 inches, was not expected to win the event, 

 both Jackson and McLanahan having sur- 

 passed those figures in practice. Though 

 Schick in the sprint did 10 flat and 22 1-5, 

 this was no more than was expected of him. 



SOME DISAPPOINTMENT. 



Hyman was looked to for a new record in 

 the quarter, which he won in 49 1-5 ; Mason 

 was counted on for better than 4.20 in the 

 mile, while Magoffin, who only finished third 

 in the two-mile, was known to be capable of 

 close to record figures. Symonds, of Prince- 

 ton, and Marshall, of Yale, performed up to 

 expectations, and Porter and Van Duyne 

 above them, but in no field events, except the 

 pole vault, was a high class performance ap- 

 proaching records anticipated. 



The failure of Dear to qualify in the hun- 

 dred left Schick no competitor able to hurry 

 him. He won as he pleased in 10 1-5 with 

 Rulon-Miller second, Reed and Knakel far 

 behind. In the 2.20 he was forced out all 

 the way by Hyman and won by less than a 

 yard, while Dodge was a poor third, easily 

 beating Whitman. Hyman in the quarter 

 was in no way worried by his competitors 

 and had plenty left when the race ended in 

 103-5. Davies beat Burnap, with Carpenter 

 fourth. 



Parsons won all the way in the half mile, 

 while Squires, Baker and Townsend defeated 

 a good field, each running under two min- 



utes. Williams was close up in the mile 

 though not forcing Munson to his best. 

 White's defeat of Hill for third was a sur- 

 prise. Hale beat Willgoose and Magoffin by 

 three yards in the two mile with Chapin far 

 behind, while Amsler had no trouble with 

 Castleman, Vonnegat and Brown, who fin- 

 ished behind him. Why he was beaten by 

 Castleman in the low hurdles is inexplicable. 

 The two ran away from Armstrong and 

 Cates. 



Symonds was far ahead of Weber, Hub- 

 bard and Knox in the broad. Porter and 

 Crane forced Marshall to six feet in the 

 high jump, Tooker taking fourth. Porter 

 beat Schoenfus three inches and Rollins 

 eight inches with the shot, with Boyd three- 

 quarters of an inch behind. Van Duyne 

 threw the hammer three feet further than 

 Cook, who beat Shevlin twenty-one inches 

 and Pew over nine feet. In the pole vault 

 Phillips and Jackson failed to do better than 

 eleven, four and three-quarters, while Gray 

 won at eleven feet eight inches and then 

 broke the record. 



After the games it was announced that the 

 intercollegiate winners next year would con- 

 test against the winners of the western in- 

 tercollegiates in games for the National 

 Tournament. The high caliber of the west- 

 ern athletes in recent years assures the games 

 attaining an importance above those of any 

 similar contests ever held, including inter- 

 national meets.
