HARVARD 1912 WON ON TRACK

The Freshman track team defeated Yale 1912 in the third dual meet held in the Stadium Saturday afternoon by the score of 61 2-3 to 55 1-3 points. Although there was a driving rain, one record was broken and several good times were made. The Yale team, which was particularly strong in the field events, was handicapped by the very unfavorable weather, while the Harvard runners, trained to perfection by Coaches Donovan and Quinn, showed up even better than in practice and won every point for which they had a chance with the exception of the 220-yard hurdles. In this event Dupont, the only Harvard man running, tripped at the sixth hurdle and was unable to recover himself until the three Yale runners were beyond reach. In the 440-yard run the record of 52 seconds, made by Merrihew in his Freshman year, was broken by Ranney by 1-5 of a second. The feature of the meet, however, was the 220-yard dash, which was won by Billings in 22 2-5 seconds, at a point when the prospects for victory appeared to favor Yale. The Harvard team won all but two first places in the track events. The Freshmen also won the shot-put.

The superior training of the Freshmen was shown in the distance runs, in which they won all three places. In the two-mile run Kaynor of Yale, after putting up a determined fight for a place; was unable to hold the pace against the beating wind and rain, and fell on the sixth lap, leaving four Harvard men to finish the race. The 880-yard run was easily won by Fernald, with Yale men second and third. The time of 2 minutes, 3 4-5 seconds, was good against the wind.

In the dashes the Freshmen sprung a surprise; Cummin won the 100-yard dash by a narrow margin and Billings pulled away from the Yale runners in the 220, winning easily with Ranney second. The hurdles went to Yale; in the 120 Dupont finished second and undoubtedly would have placed in the 220 if he had not tripped.

The majority of the field events went to Yale as was expected. Leslie, however, won the shot-put with a put of 36 feet, 7 inches, and Harvard men took places in the pole-vault and high jump. Douglas was not up to his usual form in the hammer throw and lost to Francis of Yale with a throw of 120 feet, 3 inches. In the broad jump, as in the 220-yard hurdles, Yale won every point.
