Mr.. Bayard. rising to respond. was unable
to speak for several minutes, a. the Yale
men had again encircled the chairman and
were giving their yells. while the rest Of the
company were cheering.

test between the Yale and oxford athletic
teams he said: 'Today's result was very
satisfactory, AS a matter of fact, the Yale
men did not expect to carry OFF any other
events than the hammer and shot contests,

the hurdle and the quarter mile run, our
team was not sure of. The show they made
was better than expected.
1T must not be forgotten that our team
was not an all-American team pitted
against an all-England team. They are
both average university teams. The best
men even in Oxford are not in the team.
and the same is the case with the Yale men
i he underlying principle Of this whole bust
ness Is the formation Of a closer feeling be-
tween the English and American colleges In
athletic matters. The result will be the es-

Mr.. Jackson futher stated that he hal

that he should watch for Yankee tricks
