Many old-time Olympic and national champions were present. including Maxic Long, Archie Hahn, Ray Ewry, Matt McGrath, Abel Kiviat, Paul Pilgrim and John M. Gates. Dr. Howard J. Savage of the Carnegie Foundation and E. W. Hall of the Boys' Club Federa- tion were other spectators.
They saw twelve keenly contest- ed events in which four meet re- cards were broken and one WAS tied. Three of the new records were made by Americans, and the mark that was tied was the result of an American's prowess also. In each case the new record supplants a murk made by a British star in an earlier meet. The new records; were established by B. Y. D. Hedges Jr., Princeton, in the running high jump: John E. Gore, Princeton, in The mile run: Orson C. Beaman, Cornell, in the two-mile run, and Thomas Hamjson, Oxford, in the half-mile run. Hedges also equal-

John Lincoln of Princeton, who won the event after the accident to Tisdal, was the first to run to him and assure him that he (Lincoln) felt he was second best.
The result of the shot-put was a bit of a surprise. It was conceded
to the Americans before the meet opened, but it was expected that John F. Anderson of Cornell would be the winner. Instead he was second to his school-mate, Law- renge H. Levy, who hurled the iron hall 46 feet 4 inches to take the first place. Anderson's best mark

Both admitted the offences. Mr. J. 3. Beach, overscot, P.W.D. stated that this cutting had been going on for some time past. These people had cut in the banking and left an overhanging slope...
His Worship enquired if this might cause a landslide.
Mr. Beach replied that there was a minor landslide.
Asked by the Magistrate who employed them one of the accus- ed said that a man did, while the second said that a bricklayer was her employer.
Mr. Beach indicated that not long aga a coclie was caught removing soil and his master replaced it, and he wondered whether the two ac cused would be in the same circum- stance. Furthermore, they had cut in about three feet, because the soil in that particular part was good for mortar.

Only Double Winner Although suffering from an jared hocl, Hedges took part in four events and won two of them. He was second and third in his other efforts and was the only athlete to compete in more than two events, and he was the only double win- ner.

Hampson's record places, and breaking run in the half-mile was the only Oxford victory,
Meets Stern Competition Hedges began his great showing in the first event on the programme. This was the 120-yard high hurdles and there was general applause fol- lowing the announcement that the young Princetonian had equalled the meet record of 0:15 6-10. Hedges had stern competition be- fore winning, but he was in the lead from start to finish. At the gun he was off with more speed than the Britons, and in the first twenty yards had a lead of a yard. This advantage, gained mainly at the start, was to win him the rsee as his margin at the end was only three feet.
R. St. G. T. Harper of Oxford was second and led George H. Clark of Cornell and Ian R. Mann of Cambridge, who finished in the order named.
In the high jump the perform ance of Hedges was even more im- pressive. He took but three jumps to capture this event. Starting at 5 feet 10 inches, he went to 6 feet and then cleared 6 feet 2 inches, This latter mark broke the old meet record of 6 feet 11⁄2 inches, which had been established in 1926 by C. T. Van Greyzel of Cambridge.
Colin E. S. Gordon of Oxford got second place with a jump of 6 feet and John S. Wickham of Cornell and Alison B. Young of Cambridge
tied for third at 5 feet 10 inches.
