Harvard Men at the M. A. C.

Considering the comparatively small number of Harvard men who entered for the games of the Manhattan Athletic Club at Madison Square Garden last Saturday evening, the winning of two first prizes, one second and one third by Harvard men is more than creditable. It was in the 70-yard handicap run that fortune was especially kind to Harvard. Ninety contestants entered for this race, which was run in fourteen heats; but S. V. R. Thayer, H. A. A. and B. A. A., distinguished himself by winning all his heats and the race. He had a handicap of eight feet and his time was 7 3-5 seconds. E. B. Bloss, H. A. A. and B. A. A., with a handicap of nine feet, was second.

A. H. Green, H. A. A. and M. A. C., had no difficulty in winning first prize in the pole vault. His distance was 26 feet, 1 1-2 inches, E. B. Bloss, H. A. A., came within 2 1-4 inches of the actual jump of the winner, Barnes. But Goff, the second man, had ten inches more handicap than Bloss, so that Bloss was third with an actual jump of 20 ft.5 3-4 inches.
