Yale Records Broken.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The annual games of the Yale Athletic association were held Tuesday afternoon on the Yale field. Three Yale records were broken at this meeting, the half-mile record of 2 minutes, 3 2-5 seconds being lowered to 2 minutes, and 3 seconds, and that of the two-mile bicycle race froce from 6 minutes, 24 2-5 seconds, to 6 minutes, 21 seconds. In the pole vault, Shearman, '89, instead of lowering the record, raised it from 10 feet, 3 5-8 inces, to 10 feet, 5 inches. Perfect weather and a good track combined to make the meeting one of unusual interest, all of the events being closely contested, especially the bicycle race, half-mile run, and the 120 yards hurdle. Below is given the list of events and winners:

One hundred yards-C. H. Sheriil, Jr., '89; time 10 1-5 seconds. F. W. Robinson '89, second by three inches. Sherrill got a poor start, but caught his man at fifty yards and had a very exciting finish with Robinson.

Two-mile bicycle race-F. A. Clark '89; time, 6 minutes, 21 seconds; A. F. Kountze '91, a close second. The men were bunched throughout and all of the contestants finished inside of the Yale record.

One hundred and twenty yards hurdle-N. L. Deming '90, time 17 2-5 seconds; H. L. Willams '91, a very close second.

Four hundred and forty yards run-F. W. Robinson '90, time 53 4-5 seconds. Robinson finished the last thirty-five yards in a jog trot, looking back for his contestants.

One mile run-W. Harmar '90, time 4 minutes, 41 4-5 seconds; won easily; J. P. Lloyd, Jr., '91, second.

One-mile walk-R. M. Raymond '91, time 7 minutes, 40 seconds.

Half-mile run-E. B. Hinckley '89, time 2 minutes, 3 seconds; E. P. Holton '90, second by two inches. The finish was very exciting. Hinckley ran the first quarter in 58 seconds, taking a lead of twenty yards, but on the home stretch he tired badly, and Holton would have beaten him out in two strides further.

Two hundred and twenty yards dash-C. H. Sherrill, Jr., '89, time 22 3-5 seconds; F. W. Robinson '90, a good second.
