'VARSITY TRACK GAMES.

Satisfactory Showing in the Quarter and the Mile.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The 'Varsity fall handicap track meeting was held yesterday afternoon on Holmes Field. In spite of the heavy track and the inclemency of the weather all the events were well contested and the times very good for fall races. All the heats of the sprints were close, scarcely a foot separating the first three or four men. In the final heat of the 100 yds. dash, Bigelow running from scratch, was gaining rapidly on the leaders, and would have finished first if there had been ten yards more to go.

The most exciting races of the day were the mile run and the 440 yds. dash. In the former, Grant overtook the handicap men just as they were turning into the stretch and the three men ran the last fifty yards neck and neck, finishing within five yards of one another. Burke, who was scratch man in the quarter mile, was unable to get through the crowd until they came into the stretch, and then it was too late to catch the winners, though he finished within ten yards of Clerk.

W. G. Morse won two first places. He cleared the bar at 5 ft. 11 1-4 in. in the high jump at the first trial; and won the low hurdles from scratch in the good time of 25 3-5s.

The hammer throw was postponed to this afternoon.

The final heat of the 220 yds. dash will be run off this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
