 men, and when Ysue began negotiating
 for Il meeting hctwccn tho picked men of the two great colleges they were delighted
 with the idea and have begun training
 again.
 The scheme of an international collegiate contest has long been considered by C. II. Shcrrill, Jr.. the famous ex-sprinter, and
 other Yale graduates, but this is the first
 year of the four during which the project
 has been thought of that Yale finds herself
 in n position to challenge her English
 cousins across the big pond. In 1890, when Shcrrill first began negotiating with OK
 ford, Yale was beaten in the intcrcollcgi-
 ato championships. The following year
 Yale met the samc fate, and in addition
 was showed under by Harvard in the
 Yale Harvard games. The sons of Eli met
 defeat again ill 1899 and in 1893. Although
 victorious in the intercollegiate champion
 ships, they were downcd by Harvard in tho
 intcrunivrrsity games.
 This year. however, Yale is ut the very
 top of the college athletic heap in Amer
 ica. She won a hard fought fight for su-
 prrmacy at the Yale Harvard games q few
 weeks ago and defeated the best men of all
 her college rivals at the more recent inter
 collegiate championships near New York.
 
 about the middle of Juno and will havc
 about three weeks of training on British
 soil before they are called upon to show what an American college can do on track and field. II iS sincerely to be hoped that
 the change of climate SD often fatal to an athletes chances of success, will not af- feet the NalrnstanS untavurnbly. and that they will bc in such excellent phN sir;!l con
 dition that they will be able to make as
 good showing i,S they could make on this side.
 Judging from lhc experience of the Cherry Diamond ;Cnln sent abroad ill lS9l
 tho climate in all probability will not in trrfcrc with them, and they will without
 doubt either defeat the Oxford cracks or, if beaten, make the dark blues of "mrrric

 runner; II, l.. llallock, tho running high jumper: (. l.. Eicoll. the cx-champion walker; Mortimer Remington, the sprint
 or, and others.
 These athletes. many of whom were tho
 best men in America in their respective spCcialtics at the time, swept everything before them in FrancC--thcy captured eV cry prize in sight at the Paris gamcS-and
 made a most criitahlc showing against
 tho best athletes in England, They won
 B first prizes, l5 second and : third and
 tho entire lot was valued at 5000. Cary
 won five out of eight races, including the 100 yards championship of England and
 did the hundred several times in 10 soc
 onds. Remington won out of II races, including the quarter milo champion ship of England Queckherner won sew en first prizes. including the emblem | representing the 1e pound hammer throw ing championship of England, and estab-
 lishcd q new world s record of 13i feet 2taa l inches, which has since been beaten by J. s. Mitchell.
 Tho 4alo team will include, among oth-
 CTS, w 0. Hickok, J. |. Morgan. T.. II. | Cady, L. r. sheldon, Alexander Brown, G. F. Sanford and probably w. s. Wood | hull. Although it is by no means so for
 midablc a team as that sent abroad by the | Cherry Diamond, it will not be called
 upon to meet the best men in England,
 but only the best men in Oxford. The events in which Ialo and Oxford | will probably compete aro tho following: l Tho 100 and 40 yards dashos, tho half | mile and ono mile runs, tho 1so yards hur-
 dle race, running broad and high jumps | throwing tho 16 pound hammer and put | ting tho 16 pound shot.
 Cady or Sanford will rcprescnt Yalo in
 tho 100 yards dash. Sanford has negotiat- 1 cd tho distance in 10 a-5 seconds, which Is one-fifth of a second faster than tho best public performance of Jordan, his Oxford | rival.
 Sanford will also bc relied on to win tho 40 yards dash for Yale Sanford has | covered the distance in about 90 seconds, md Jordan of Oxford Is credited with 1 about the same time.
 Woodruff of Yalo has done half mile in 1 minute 50 i-5 seconds, which com pares very favorably with the time in which the English half mile championship has been won during the past half dozen years woodhull's 8 probable opponent is not | known.
 Morgan of Yale and Greenhowe of OK 1 ford will probably meet in the mile run 1 The Yale man is good for about 4 min utes sS seconds, and tho Oxford represent ] ative is credited with performance foul I seconds faster.
 Cady of Yale can doubtless capture tht lsO yards hurdles, as he has a mark of l( I seconds against l6 S-5 seconds, the best | performance of Oakley of Oxford. Fry, the great Oxford broad jumper will without doubt easily secure that event, as his best jump-s3 fect 6ls inohc: l equals tho worlds record, sheldon o | Yale has done ss feet 9 inches and car | only win in tho cvont that Fry fails ts \ jump in his best form.
 In the running high jump Cady ant 1 Sanford have each dono over feet 1t 1 inches, and Swanwich uf Oxford has equal 1 ed this ilgure.
