THE YALE-OYFORD GAMES.

Unless some obstacle which there Is no rca-
son to anticipate interyencs, there will be
a competition In track athletics between the
champions Of Oxford and Yale on July If in
England Considerable interest has been
aroused by the acceptance OF Yale's challenge,
and doubtless as the date for the meeting APP
proaches the enthusiasm in college circles will
be to some extent impaired to the general pub
lie in both countries international rivalry Is
quite keen enough to fix the attention of even
the soberest citizens upon physical contest OF
this sort, indeed Of any sort, as the annals Of
the prize ring unhappily testify. In this case
the interest will be rational and commendable,
for the emulation Of college athletes Is generous
and honorable They are not inspired by any
sordid motive, and their struggles for suprem-
acy are the expression Of a really fine sense Of
LOYALTY and devotion. They have hitherto had
few opportunities to show their skill and forti-
tude in international contests, notwithstanding
an almost continuous discussion of the subject.
Probably the members of every victorious Yale
or Harvard crew have felt strong desire to
measure oars with the winners of the English
university race. ever since Harvards unsuccess-
full essay in 1869; and more than once negotla-
tions to that end have been initiated. But there
are SDcClul ODSldCltS III WHY vi III IHltTlli-
tional boat race between college crews which
cannot be easily overcome, and a decisive test
Of Craftsmanship on even terms Is not likely to
be witnessed in the near future. Columbia sent
crew to the Thames some years ago. and n
Yale four came within IN ace Of defeating the
experts Of the London Rowing Club In 1876 at
philadelphia; but these experiments were not
altogether satisfactory, and have discouraged
rather than prepared the way for similar con-
| tests hereafter
The coming games between Oxford and Yale
have not been arranged without difficulty. The
English athletes finished their regular season
In the early spring and presumably have not
been in strict training since then, whereas the
Yale men are now In almost If not quite their
best form But on the other hand, the voyage
and the change Of climate and conditions will
temporarily disable them TO some extent, so that
the representatives Of the two universities may
be expected to share about equally whatever
