Worcester Games.

The Harvard contestants in the Worcester games last Saturday were very successful. They won three first prizes, thus scoring more points than any other club. The track was seventeen laps to the mile and the forty yard dash was the only event in which good time was made. In the 440 yard run and especially the mile team race, the Worcester men showed their skill in running around the corners, but the Harvard runners caught them on the stretch every time.

The 40 yard dash was run in eight trial and three semi-final heats. Three men ran in a heat and only the winners ran in the final. O. W. Shead '93, 5 ft., won the third heat in 4 4-5 sec.; W. E. Kent, Sp., 6 ft., captured the fifth heat in 4 4-5 sec.; E. B. Bloss '94, scratch, won his heat in 4 4-5 sec., thus equaling the world's record for this distance, but he lost in the semi-final heat The final heat called out Shead, Kent and Coombs, B. A. A. Shead won it in 4 4-5 sec.

In the one mile walk, H. W. Thayer '95, with 40 sec. handicap, won an interesting and exciting race. He overtook the limit man early in the race and was never headed. His actual time was 7 in. 50 3-5 sec.

F. K. Richardson D. S., 4 in., won the running high jump with an actual jump of 5 ft. 4 in. E. B. Bloss, scratch, failed at 5 ft. 5 in.

In the half mile run, second place was given to a man from Fall River, although A. Blake '93 clearly finished in front of him.

The sports were over by ten o'clock and most of the men took the late train for Boston. The prizes were engraved cups, very similar to those given by the H. A. A.
