B. A. A. Games.

The two notable performances at the B. A. A. games Saturday night were those of M. F. Sweeney, X. A. C., in the high jump, and Bernard Doherty, D. A. C., in the three standing jumps. Sweeney broke his own in-door record by clearing 6 ft. 3 3-8 in., and Doherty established a new world's record in his event.

Although nothing in the way of record breaking was done by the Harvard men, the H. A. A. scored many more points than any other organization. The fact that in the track events only one scratch man secured a place, would indicate that the handicaps given were almost too liberal.

The 40 yards novice was the first race to be run off. It brought out a very clever sprinter in Brown of Amherst, who won the finals in 4 4-5s., with Green '96, second, and Goldmark '94 third.

In the 40 yds. handicap, Brown, from the 6 ft. mark, won again with comparative ease in 4 3-5s. J. L. Bremer '96 (6 ft.) was third in this race.

The 45 yds. hurdle race was watched with special interest by Harvard men on account of the appearance of Garcelon, L. S., who was to make his first essay at the 3 1-2 ft. sticks. Unfortunately he fell in his trial heat. However, Coonley '94 (7 ft.) won the race from Chase of Dartmouth (scratch), with Emerson '96 third. Time, 6 2-5s.

The 600 yds run was the usual exciting scramble. Hill started from scratch in one of the trial heats, but was unable to get through the field. A. W. Blakemore '97, R. W. Bull '96, E. Hollister '97, all got places in the trial heats and started in the finals. An unfortunate accident occurred on the third lap, just when the race was promising to be a grand struggle. One of the men tripped on the corner and three of four others, among them Bull and Hollister, went down with him. They picked themselves up and ran the race out, but the ground lost was too great to be made up. However, Blakemore won the race in 1 min. 19 1-5s.

The mile run was started with a double row of men on the 80 yd. mark. A. Blake '93, representing the B. A. A., won after a sensational spurt on the last lap. Time, 4 min. 57 45s. J. Bordman '94, (45 yds.), was third. R. R. Hollister '97, (55 yds.) made a good fight, but was beaten in the finish.

In the mile walk, only one Harvard man, J. Staab (45s.) stayed on the track until the finish. He secured second place to Beaudette of Worcester (12s.). Time, 8 min. 8 1-5s.

The high jump was won by Sweeney with a jump of 6 ft. 3 3-8 in.; second, McComber of Brown (3 1-2 in.), with a jump of 5 ft. 9 1-2 in.; third, Wheelwright (5 1-2 in.), with a jump of 5 ft. 6 in.

Most of the team races were too one-sided to be of interest. Contrary to expectation, the B. A. A. had a walk-over with the N. Y. A. C. The only truly exciting race was that between Amherst and Dartmouth. The men were all so evenly matched that it was a continual spurt from start to finish. Amherst held the lead throughout, but did not win by more than a yard.

The last event decided was the potato race. The event lacked in interest from the fact that only a very few could tell who was winning. E. H. Clark '96 won second place.
