...first annual field meeting of the Brookline Athletic Club took place on their grounds at Cypress Street, Brookline, last Saturday, and proved, on the whole, successful. The management, however, was at times inefficient. The result was that the first contest was not called until after 3 o'clock P.M., instead of 2 o'clock, as advertised, and the last three or four contests had to be run in darkness so great the contestants were totally indistinguishable one from another. Wendell, '82, won the 100-yards and the 1/4-mile run, the former of which, however, he nearly lost, through the track...
APPENDED will be found a comparative table of records made at this year's fall meetings of the seven colleges mentioned in the table. Neither Harvard nor Princeton will hold any field meeting this fall, so that their records cannot be added to the table. The Columbia records at the 100-yards, 220-yards, 1/4-mile, and 1-mile runs, and the mile-walk, cannot be fairly compared with the performances at the other colleges, as the former were all made by men who had more or less handicap given them. We have omitted the records at the hammer from this...
...kick was got, a goal could not be tried for. Columbia now made several desperate rushes, one by Burton being specially fine. But the ball soon returned to its old place, close to Columbia's goal. In a few minutes Kent kicked one of his wonderful goals from the field, and Harvard secured still another touch-down, Clarke being the lucky man. Keith kicked a goal from this touch-down in fine style. When time was called, the score stood, Harvard, 3 goals and 1 touch-down; Columbia, 0. For Harvard, Thacher and Foster played remarkably well. Clarke and Atkinson...
...took the wind, giving Britannia the kick-off. During the whole first three-quarters the ball was kept close upon Britannia's goal, and they were forced to touch back for safety several times. Within a few minutes from the beginning of play, Smith kicked a goal from the field; and again, before the end of the first three-quarters, he kicked a second goal in the same way, the ball having been passed back to him each time. At the beginning of the second three-quarters, Britannia so pressed Harvard that the latter were forced to touch back...
...Club, which promises to prove a most welcome addition to the lamentably small number of desirable athletic clubs in this vicinity. The club is now laying a 6th of a mile cinder track on the Brookline Play-ground, which will probably be completed in time to admit of a field meeting this fall, which, it is possible, may be open to all amateurs. The officers are as follows: President, N. H. Hammond; Vice-President, M. P. Spaulding; Treasurer, A. S. Arthur; Secretary, Harry G. Cushman; Directors, Alan G. Mason, G. B. Clarke, F. L. Creesy, William W. O'Connell...
