London, July 29. and Cambridge and Harvard and Yale each won six events in their match at the White City yesterday, but the Americans were announced to have won on second places by 6 points to 5. *Ine final decision on the result of the match will not, however, be reached until after further confer- ence between the officials. The point at issue is, "Who was second In the high hurdles?," writes, a correspondent.

the crucial mile race, the Ameri cans tried a ramble by switching R Brayton from the half to the mille and R. Woodward from the mille to the half-mile. The Eng- ltshmen were not to be upset by this, and Sullivan was left to win the race as originally planned. It was a great one. R A. Cruse (Ox- lord), cut out the quarter for Sulli- van, who had J. Dorman (Harvard) on his heels. Cruse let Sullivan through down the back straight, but Dorman held to him right Both Judges admit that they round the 200 yards into the were not looking. They had some finishing straight, and one excuse since Milton Green (Har-dered anxiously if he would ever, wurd) knocked over four hurdles in produce a winning burst. When getting to, the tape first in this | he did so. In the last fifteen yards and the Arst question to there was not a suggeston of ståle- settle was, "Should Green be dis-" qualified?" The A.A.A. rules, un- der which the meeting was held. say that a man overturning more than two hurdles must be dis- qualified. On the other hand, the visitors had never heard of this rule since at home their hurdles are so heavy that one bang auto- matically puts a man out of the race and so there is no necessity for A rule like the A.A.A. one.) Only the referee, Lord Desborough, could give the final verdict and very properly the law of the land prevailed, and the race was award- od to A. G. Pülrow, who had finish- ed second,

THE OFFICIAL RESULT

'At the dinner in the evening Lord Desborough announced that the official result was a draw.

The high hurdles was the first track event of the day and the low tardles, which was the last event, was little less satisfactory. In sa far as scoring was concerned. At this point the home side was lend- ing 85 and, if Pilbrow had won, would have won the match 7--5, und the question of second places would never have arisen.

MANY FULL SCORES Never in the history of the National Rifle Association have 80 many full scores been made at 200 yards in the first stage of the King's Prize. One hundred and one of the 1,052 competitors re- gistered the full 35 points at this range in spite of a fresh wind from the left front and a chang ing light. Last year there were 50 full scores at 200 yards, and in 1910, the previous year of very big scores, there were 40. The Pattern 14 rifle is responsible because It has so greatly increased the num- ber of accurate and dependable weapons available.

The large cumber of medium shots can at last put themselves nearly terms with the "tigers" some of whom owe their reputations Just as much to mechanical skill in keeping the SMLE up to the high standard of accuracy de- tanded at Bisley as to sureness of aim and firmness of holding.

The wind freshened during the afternoon and was inclined to filck broadly across the range. These changes in direction were not easy to see and scoring drop

that 32 or 33 out of 35 ped so became a good score át 500 yards. There was early indication that the high total of 58 full scores made in the easy conditions of *Last year would not be beaten. Very few of those who had made the full tale of points at 200 yards added another full score at 500 yards. Those, who did so were J. Livie, the Scottish armourer,' win- ner of the St. George's in 1930; Sergeant M. Penman, of Canada; and R. Butcher and G. S. Notcutt, both of Cambridge University. There were, in all, 42 full scores of 35, made at 500 yards.

The wind eased and steadied a uttle during the evening, but not enough to bring the level of scor- ing much above that of last year. At 8.30 this evening the Statisti- cal Department announced that there were 105 scores of 97, and that they would shoot off for the last 45 places in the 300 who pass on to the second stage.
