INTERCLASS GAMES.

The class games which were held yesterday on Holmes Field were perhaps the most successful from the athletic standpoint of any that have ever taken place in Cambridge at this season of the year. No Harvard records were broken but in a number of events the performances were better than those which won the intercollegiate meeting last spring.

The competition between '97 and '98 for the Wells cup could hardly have been closer, and the result could not be announced until the last event was finished. The juniors have now won this cup for three successive years, and they have only to win next year to secure the cup permanently. As several of the best athletes from '97 did not compete yesterday it seems probable that they will repeat their victory next year. The freshmen did not show up particularly well and only won a few scattering points.

The hurdle race, which was the first event on the programme, had only four entries, but furnished a good race. Munroe won by 2 yards from Williams, who finished a yard in front of Rice. Time, 16 3-5s.

Both the dashes were closely contested and the honors were divided between Bigelow and Redpath, who proved very evenly matched. The hundred yard dash was particularly close and at the finish there was barely a yard between the first and fourth man.

In the mile walk, Phillips and Liebman were much faster than the other men who took part and finished half a lapahead. Phillips set the pace from the start and by a good spurt near the finish secured a lead of 15 yards.

The quarter mile race was run in the excellent time of 50 4-5 seconds. Marshall set a fast pace, and was closely followed by Vincent, Mansfield and Fish. After entering the home stretch he weakened and was passed by Vincent who won by 2 yards. Fish came up very strongly and in a few yards more would also have beaten Marshall.

Hollister won the half mile run as was expected, and his time of 1m. 57 2-5s. was the most noticable performance of the afternoon. None of the other men were fast enough to give him a race, and he won as he pleased by 30 yards from Williams. This is the fastest half-mile which Hollister has ever run. Last year he won the intercollegiate games in 2 minutes, and the Yale games in 1m. 58s.

The mile run resulted in an easy victory for Grant who led from the start. Fenno ran remarkably well and had no difficulty in defeating Newell who was not at his best.

The field events were not particularly interesting and furnished no remarkable records except the broad jump by Clark of 22 ft. 8 1-2 in.

The weather was almost perfect, as the air was very warm and there was no
