The University fall track games were held yesterday afternoon on Holmes Field. The cold weather and a slight wind made the times times of the track events poor, but the field events, with the exception of the high jump, were up to the average. All the scheduled events took place, except the finals of the 220-yards dash, which were postponed until Monday on account of darkness. The hurdle races had very few entries. The best individual performance was by H. F. Cochems 3L, who put the shot 42 feet 1-2 inches, thus breaking the previous Harvard record of 40 feet, 10 1-2 inches. Cochems, however, is ineligible to compete in any intercollegiate games on account of the four-year rule.
