QEEEN's CLUB GROUNDS, LONDON, July
l8.-The weather today was anything
but promising for satisfactory contest
Of athletes between the university teams
Of Old England and New England. A
cold gusty wind prevailed all morning;
it was raining and the grounds looked
sodden and likely to prevent fast time
being made or records broken. But bad
" Gather could not dampen the enthus-
iasm of the people, and long before the
hour fixed upon for the first event, the
vast majority Of $4,000 people expected
to witness the struggle for athletic su'
premacy between Yale and Oxford had
crowded into the grounds.
1t is probable that no event OF recent
years in the history of English athletics
centered in today's contests on the
grounds Of the Queens club. The

all admirers of athletic sports, and
among sportsmen generally throughout
the British isle.
The secretary of the Queens club
about noon carefully examined the track
and informed the Associated Press cor
respondent that it would be in good
condition by the time the athletes were
ready to use it. The grounds were not,
however, favorable for lowering records.
The general opinion was that Yale
would win the majority OF the events.
The Yale team arrived on the grounds
at p. m. and went at once to their
dressing rooms and we're soon being
rubbed down by their trainers. me
Oxford men had been on the grounds
come time before this, and when the the
athletes, the two teams were photo
graphed in group. The hundreds of
umbrellas which were open on ell sides
made the crowd dreary and sober-look-
ing, and, in fact, cast an aspect of gloom
over the entire Surroundings in spite OF
the music which the band furnished.
BY 4:20 p. IN. the grounds were only
about two-thirds full. Many of the
toilets of the ladies showed by their
dark colors that the fair sex of America
intended to do its utmost to encourage
the young athletes of Yale.
