‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
The annual winter meeting of the Roxbury Latin School was held in the M. I. T. gymnasium yesterday afternoon. Several men from the H. A. A. had entered in the open events, and among the spectators there was a large number of Harvard men. Mr. Walter Soren, '83, was the referee of the meeting, and G. S. Mandell, '89, and R. S. Hale, '91, were the judges. Following is a summary of the events and winners: Rope-climbing-Meehan, '90, time 8s.; fence vault-Cummings, '89, 6 ft. 6 in., breaking the school record by one and three-quarters inches; high kick-Cummings, '89, walkover; featherweight sparring-Atherton, '92. In the running high jump, three Harvard men had entered, but only one appeared at the scratch-J. P. Lee, '91. He took third place, being handicapped four inches. Morse, of the B. Y. M. C. U., won the event with a jump of 5 ft. 51/4 in: Shirwin, '90, was second with a jump of 5 ft. 5 in., thereby breaking the school record by one-half an inch. Lee's actual jump was 5 ft. 81/4 in. Light-weight sparring was won by Batchelder, '91. H. O. Stickney and M. M. Smith, both Harvard '92, took first and second places respectively in putting the shot. Stickney's distance was 31 ft. 9 3-5 inches. Middle-weight sparring was won by Atwater, '90. Crane and Wheelwright, '90, were the Harvard men entered in the pole-vault. Shirwin, '90, won the event with a jump of 9 ft. 1 in. The '90 team won the tug-of-war.
Harvard's representatives made a creditable showing in the games, considering that the men were so heavily handicapped. Lee's jumping, in particular, called forth much applause. Most of the events contested solely by the Roxbury school men were very close. The sparring matches were especially well fought, and the meeting on the whole was more interesting than usual.
