The Harvard men in the M. I. T. games Saturday afternoon did unusually well, first and second prizes in every event except the pole vault being won by H. A. A. men. As a whole, the meeting was very successful. Two Technology records were broken,- the running high jump by C. D. Heywood, who cleared the rod at the height of 5 feet 10 1-2 inches, (best previous Technology record, 5 feet 6 inches), and the pole vault by J. Crane, Jr., -9 feet 9 5-8 inches.

The first two events on the programme.- putting the shot and standing high jump-took place at the same time. In the former. J. R. Finlay, H. A. A., had little difficulty in winning with a distance of 36 feet 3 inches. S. H. Evins, H. A. A., was second with a distance of 35 feet 4 inches. The standing high jump was won by C. H. Bean, H. A. A., height 4 feet 7 1-8 inches; G. F. Taylor, H. A. A., second, height 4 feet 6 1-8 inches.

For the fifty yards dash there were forty-five entries, and in each heat four men ran. As most of the entries were from Harvard, it was not particularly surprising that Harvard men won eight of the nine preliminary heats. The winners of the heats were: E. B. Bloss, E. C. Moen, W. L. Thompson, A. H. Green, O. W. Shead, G. R. Fearing, C. E. Buchalz, M. I. T., O. K. Hawes, S. V. R. Thayer. In the semi-finals, Green, Hawes, and Thayer won their respective heats; and the final was a very pretty contest between Thayer and Hawes for second place-for Green was easily first. Thayer and Hawes ran one dead heat, but in the second trial Thayer beat Hawes by about a foot. Green's time was 5 4-5 seconds.

The pole vault was won by H. R. Dalton, Jr., B. A. A.- an old St. Mark's man,- height 9 feet 10 inches; J. Crane Jr., and B. A. A., second, 9 feet 9 5-8 inches.

In the single sticks contest, first and second prizes were won by Stone and Turnure, both Harvard men; and R. S. Hale had no difficulty in getting first place in the mile walk with a time of 7 minutes 26 2-5 seconds. Bardeen, '93 finished second.

The fifty yards hurdle was a very pretty contest. The preliminary heats were won by Fearing, A. M. White, and Finneran, B. A. A. It was a very close thing between Fearing and White in the finals, but Fearing finally crossed the line in 7 2-5 seconds, 1-5 second ahead of White. J. P. Lee hurt his back so badly that he fainted after the race.

The mile run was one of the most interesting events of the afternoon. Lowell and Batchelder were favorites though not until the last lap did they lead the others. Then they spurted, and though Batchelder pushed him hard, Lowell finished first; time 4 m 57 2-5 s. J. O. Nichols was third.

In the running high jump A. H. Green, H. A. A., dropped out at 5 feet 9 1-4 inches; C. D. Heywood, M. I. T., dropped out at 5 feet 10 1-4 inches; J. E. Morse, B. A. A., dropped out at 6 feet 1 1-4 inches. The event was won by G. R. Fearing, H. A. A., 6 1-4 inches; J. E. Morse, B. A. A., second, 5 feet 11 1 4 inches. The bar was then placed at 6 feet 3 1-4, one inch higher than the world's record, but Fearing was unable to clear it, although he came very near it once, hitting the bar with his shoulder after he was over.
