BEAT HARVARD AND YALE
FIVE 8F NINE CONTESTS
Britishers Wildly Demon
strative When Baker
Wins Deciding Event
EVENLY MATCHED
'London, July 11. The queens
club was the scene today of the most
exciting contests In Its long history
when Oxford and Cambridge defeat
ed Harvard and Yale hi the fifth
meeting of the oldest universities of
the two nations. The climax was dra-
'aatio, each nation had won two
meetings, and each had to its credit
four of today's events. Victory de
pended upon the last event, the one
mile run. Until the final event there
was no demonstration of any kind
but when six young athletes toed the
mark for the crucial test, silence fell
over the scene, followed by a wild
demonstration when Baker, of Kink's
college, Combridge, running a clever
race .sprinted In a winner by five
yards from Moore of Oxford, who
was second, with Lawless of Harvard
third. The time was 4:X7 1-5. Baker
who will be forever illustrious in the
annals of the light blues was carried
off the field on the shoulders of his
comrades while the band played "God
Save tbe King." It was such an up
roar as might have been witnessed at
some American; meeting. The two
teams were remarkably evenly
matched.. The Americans practically
had walk-overs In the Jumps and hur
dles. The hammer throw was con
ceded to the Oxford Rhodes scholar,
Putnam, but Jhe Americans counted
upon a fair prportlbn of the runs.
.That the Englishmen toe, four out of
five of these Including the one mile
and the- two miles. confirmed the
fears that the climate might weaken
the staying powers of the Americans.
The latter as usual appeared more
. highly strung and more nervous than
their rivals. The records as whole,
only Average for an International
meet. Kb unpleasant Incidents marr
ed the meeting, and all conceded that
the Americans are good sportsmen.
