hammer (16 lbs.) 111 feet in
practice, and is putting the shot (also 16 lbs.) 39 feet. He is sure to
add ten points to the New Haven school's score.

At the meeting of the N.E.I.S.A.A., held in Boston, May 2d, the
legislators very wisely voted to keep men over twenty years of age out
of all interscholastic contests. Cushing Academy and Phillips Andover
wanted to change the constitution so that young men over twenty years of
age, if at school, could participate in games held under the rules of
the N.E.I.S.A.A. But, as I anticipated, they found few supporters, and
the motion to refer the question to a committee was promptly defeated,
and the subject dropped. Lynn High and Mechanics' High schools applied
for membership in the League, and were admitted. The New England
Association is now the largest interscholastic organization in the
country, having twenty-eight schools in its membership.

The dual games between Phillips Andover and Worcester academies will be
close, and will furnish an exciting contest. It seems a difficult
problem at this early date to name the winner, for there are so many
unknown quantities to consider. Nevertheless, the 100 will probably rest
between Senn, P. A., and Bryant, W. A., with Barker, P. A., third; and
the winner should certainly cover the distance in 10-3/5. The order of
the 220 is likely to be Gaskell, P. A., Barker, W. A., and Woodward,
P. A.; but as none of them are crack men, the time will be slow. Laing,
P. A., and Fish, W. A., will have a tussle for supremacy in the quarter,
and will make good time. Laing is the better of the two, and will
probably take the half-mile, with Gaskell and Tyler, both P. A., behind
him. Richardson, of the same school, will finish first in the mile, with
Milner, W. A., a close second, and Lewis, P. A., behind him. Clare of
Worcester ought to get the high hurdles away from Hine, who is Andover's
best man over the sticks; but Hine will undoubtedly take first in the
low hurdles. Barker, W. A., will push him hard, and Fish should come in
third. Lockwood, W. A., will have an easy time of it in the walk, and it
is uncertain if Andover has any one good enough to secure better than
third place. The bicycle race will also go to Worcester, with Crouse,
P. A., possibly in one of the places. Holt of Andover should take the
shot event, and he will earn second in the hammer; while Edmunds, W. A.,
will reverse matters by getting first in the hammer and second in the
sho
