Individual Records of Yaie's Hepresenta'
 ftyas af Or xford,


 tiyes at Oxford.
 In view of the contests at oxford yes- terday, the following records of the Yale competitors will prove interesting reading;
 William orville Hickok, captain Of the Yale team, Is a powerful young athlete. He Is the Samson of Yale university, according to Dr. seaver's physical measurements charts. Ho stands G feet 2 l-2 inches from the ground and weighs about 200 pounds.
 Hickok is deceptive in clothes, and Is not impressive until he Is stripped for business. He Is twenty years old, and has been marked example of "a grow ing boy" Hickok lives In Harrisburg, Pa., and prepared for Yale at St. Paul's school, at Concord, N. II. He smashed all school and most college records at St. Paul's, and entered Yale, in the Scientific school, two years ago.
 In the fall of his freshman year he played left guard on the university eleven and made a great reputation. He was fast and strong, and prom ised to bo & second Heffelfnger. He trained for both hammer and shot with a will when he was but eighteen years old. He established new record for both the 16-pound hammer and shot last May. He next smashed the worlds amateur record with the hammer, and at the winter games he again frac- tured the intercollegiate record. At the recent intercollegiate games Hickok tossed the hammer from 7-foot circle 123 feet. Hickok was elected captain of the Yale athletic team immediately af- ter the intercollegiate games.
 Ernest Hyde Cady. the high hurdler and sprinter, is "Sheff." junior, who prepared for Yale at the Harvard high school and lives in that city. He ran and hurdled on his high school team for a couple of years. and was prom ising man when he went to Yale. AS freshman he did good work. but could not keep up with his company. He was taken on the athletic team and en- tered in the Yale-Harvard and inter- collegiate games. He did not win any points, but Mike Murphy looked on him as a coming winner. This season he improved very fast, and by the mid dle of the season was beating Dean Lyman. captain of the team, over the high sticks.
 He gave a good account of himself in the dual meeting, running a close second in the high hurdles in the 16- second heat. In the intercollegiates he did phenomenal work. He ran in light trial heats first and last, and after winning the high hurdles in the splen- did time of 16 seconds. was a close second in the low hurdles when the intercollegiate record was equalled.
 The trip did not agree with Cady, but he was not long in getting into condition.
 George Foster Sanford is strapping big man, weighing 1855 pounds and standing feet inch high, and yet he can run the hundred in 10 2-5 sec onds. He is a cracking quarter-mile man, having run only a few feet behind Merrill twice this season. Sanford played center rush on the university eleven of 1891, and 1t was never scored on. He played guard the next season, but was hurt just before the big games. He has tried for the crew, and is said be good base ball player.
 Sanford began his athletic career at the Hillhouse high school in New Ha- ven, where he lives. He is in the first year in the law school. He was mem- Der of the athletic team last year, and was not nearly so prominent. as he has been this season.
 Sanford got g. strain in his right leg just previous to the Yale-Harvard games last spring, and in the recent in- tercollegiate games he did not run in exceptionally good shape.
 The most remarkable member of the team is Lewis Pendleton Sheldon, broad jumper and. hurdler. Lou" is the tallest man on the team, with his 6 feet AZ inches of muscle and sinew, and he is no wlllowy creature, as his 190 solid pounds show. Sheldon pre- pared at Andover, where he held nine records in broad and high jumping, hammer and shot, and hurdling. For some time he held the worlds record for the standing high jump, 5 feet Sh inches.
 He has a pole vault record of 10 feet inches, and has done feet s1k inches in the high jump. Sheldon was entered in the broad jump and low hurdles last year. but did not get into form because of injuries. He was hurt again this season and had not trained for two weeks before the dual meeting. He went out and beat Bolss, the Harvard champion. thereby winning the games for Yale.
 The mile runner, Joseph Elias Mor- gan, has come to the front with a rush. Although he is senior, he had never gone into athletics of any description until last year. Then he went out to the field and trained with the long distance runners. He soon showed that he had remarkable sand" and staying power, and a strong and easy stride. He was so good that he had no trouble in run- ming the mile in the Harvard meeting. and ran Q desperately close second to Jarvis in the intercollegiate when the latter broke the record. This season he walked away from his field in the dual meeting, and was second at New York, beating the champion Orton and doing a mile in minutes and 30 seconds. He is slight but cleanly built, little chap,
