In the intercollegiate games on Saturday, Yale again came out ahead by a safe margin. Harvard won second, though Pennsylvania was close behind. Pennsylvania's large score, however, does not represent the work of many men, but of one. E. S. Ramsdell scored fifteen of the total twenty points, winning first place in the two dashes and in the broad jump, in all of which he made excellent records. Without him Pennsylvania would have fallen almost as low as Princeton, who failed to score a single point. This was unusual, but it was hardly less so to see four firsts taken by men from the smaller colleges which have generally been contented with seconds and thirds. The scores made were as follows: Yale 37, Harvard 24 1-4, Pennsylvania 20 1-4, College of the City of New York 5, Wesleyan 5, Amherst 5, Union 5, Cornell 5, Columbia 2 1-4, Williams 2, Swarthmore 1, and Brown 1-4.
The first event on the afternoon programme was the 100 yards dash. Harvard's chance here rested with Prado, who was beaten in his trial heat by Bucholtz of Pennsylvania and Derr of Princeton. Richards of Yale succeeded in getting into the semi-finals, where Bucholtz and patterson, Williams's only winner, passed him. This put harvard and Yale out of the event, which went to Ramsdell of the U. of P., as the first of his victories. The final time was 10s., equalling the intercollegiate record. Patterson was second, scoring Williams's only two points, and Bucholtz third.
While the trials of the 100 yards were being run, the high jump, begun at twelve o'clock, was finished. This event was the first one announced. It went to Paine of Harvard, with 5ft. 10 1-2in. Becker of Cornell took second with half an inch less. Third place was tied at 5ft. 9in., between Bloss of Harvard, McComber of Brown, Leslie of the U. of P., and Burke, of Columbia. The point was divided, and in the toss-up Burke won the medal.
The 120 yards hurdle race was a disappointment to Harvard, for in the finals Garcelon was beaten by Cady of Yale in 16 seconds. It was a fine race, and Coonley of Harvard succeeded in winning third from Hatch of Yale.
Garcelon was unfortunate, too, in the 220 yards hurdles. In his first trial heat he got a bad fall over the fifth hurdle and lost so much that he did not attempt to finish the distance. This did not prevent Harvard from winning the final race. Bremer easily took first here in 25 1-5s., with Cady of Yale second. Jameson took third for Harvard.
The quarter mile was a fine race. The trial heats had been run off in the morning, so that only the best men started. From the crack of the pistol Sanford of Yale and Marshall of Harvard took the lead side by side and raced fiercely the whole distance. Merrill followed three or four behind till the pace began to tell on the leaders and then on the finish he spurted out between them as is his custom, winning in 50 2-5s. Sanford and Marshall fought it out for second and the Yale man just won.
From the quarter Merrill went to the 220 yards dash, and in two heats reached the finals, running second to Ramsdell of Pennsylvania in both. The final heat was the last event of the day and Merrill did not feel well enough to run. He would doubtless have done so, however, if Harvard's chances had not been already settled. The race went to Ramsdell in 22 seconds, with Pond of Yale second, and Sewell of Columbia third.
In the two mile bicycle race there were ten heats before the final one. The first heat broke the intercollegiate record of 5m. 41 2-5s. F. W. Sims of Swarthmore did the distance in 5m., 15s. The heats were all closely contested and exciting finishes were the rule. Elliot, Holmes and Brinckerhoff dropped out in the semi-finals, so Harvard was not represented in the last race. In this the men remained bunched from start to finish and the pace was fast,- so fast that on next to the last lap Sims and Ottman fell on the course. Even without Sims, Glenny of Yale was forced to be content with third place. Goodman, C. C. N. Y., won first, and Gorbey of Cornell second. The time was 5m. 18 1-5s.
The mile run was a beautiful struggle between Jarvis of Wesleyan, Morgan of Yale, and Orton of the U. of P., who came in in that order after leading the field for the whole distance. Orton was first till the finish, when Jarvis pushed ahead with Morgan after him. The time was 4m. 26 4-5s.
In the mile walk Phillips of Harvard was ruled off on the third lap as he was taking the lead. He had heard no caution, nor had any one seen one given as the judge, Mr. Frank P. Murray, asserted it had been. Phillips returned to the track, thinking he had been misjudged, but in the effort to overtake the leaders he ran and was taken off again. In his absence the race was won by Houghton of Amherst in 7m. 14 3-5s. Thrall of Yale took second by a spurt past Drew of Harvard.
In the half mile twenty-four men started. Harvard's chances were over when Hollister and Hill both fell. The race went to a "dark horse," Kilpatrick of Union, in 12m. 59 1-5s. Woodhull of Yale took second, and Vincent of Harvard third.
In each of the field events the number of contestants has been reduced to five in the morning. The winners will be found in the summary below. Hickok's put of 42 feet with the 16 1b. hammer, broke his own previous intercollegiate record of 41ft. 1-8in. In the hammer contest, Patterson of Cornell made the greatest throw, over 125 feet, but this was not allowed as he slipped and had to put his hand outside of the ring.
