NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At the thirteenth annual indoor meet of the B. A. A., held in Mechanics Hall on Saturday night, the Harvard men made an especially good showing, winning the team relay race with Pennsylvania and four first, one second, and two third places in the other events.

The University relay team ran well and completely outclassed their opponents. Haigh got a lead in the first relay, but lost it by a fall on the third lap; he managed to win out, giving Lightner a lead of 15 yards over Orton. This lead was increased by Willis and Rust to nearly half a lap at the finish. Time, 3m. 13s.

The preliminary interclass relay races were easy victories for 1903 and 1905. The final race of the series was closely contested throughout, neither team having an advantage until the end of the second relay; then 1905 forged into the lead and finally won out by 10 yards. Time 3m. 21s.

F. B. Scheuber '05, in the 40-yards dash, scratch, furnished the surprise of the evening by defeating A. F. Duffey, Georgetown, the holder of the world's record at the distance. Both the 40-yards, novice and handicap, were won by G. F. Henneberry '02, who had no trouble in getting first in either event.

The 1000-yards run was won by C. B. Marshall of Columbia, R. M. Walsh coming in third.

In the 45-yards low hurdles, J. H. Shirk '02 won out after a close race in the final heat.

Harvard men won places in tow of the field events, F. W. C. Foster '03 getting third place in the shot put, with a put of 41 feet, and N. F. Glidden '03 tieing for second place in the high jump at a height of 6 ft. 1-8 in.
