YALE'S PRACTICAL ACCEPTANCE or
TIRE TERMS or THE CH1LLENGE,

The Cambrldse-Yale Games-The English
Athletes Wouli Like to Compete on Sep
TENDER asth and Suggests List of
Events.
New York, July 10,--Yale has practi-
cally accepted the suggestions made to
her by Cambridge in regard to the pro-
posed track athletic meeting between
the American and English universities
this fall, AS result of the graduate
advisory committee meeting, Captain
Sheldon sent to Cambridge to-day the
following cable dispatch
"The conditions made by Cambridge
are satisfactory to Yale. Cambridge to
sail by the Cunarder after August n;
the games are to take place october 8,
We would suggest that the 220-yard run
be substituted for the SOO-yard run, as
our straightaway tracks are only 220
yards long. Yale will arrange for
house in New Haven, and will put the
! Yale track at the disposal of Cambridge
if the latter wishes"
1t will thus be seen that the only con-
dition to which Yale has refused 10
yield is that the date of the meeting
be changed from October 5 to Septem-
Der 2S.

London, July 10.-In an interview to-
day Mr.. Jackson, treasurer of the Ok
ford Athletic union, said that formal
reply to Yale's challenge had not yet
been sent, but that he had cabled to
Mr., c. n Sheriff., jr., of the Yale COM
mittee, an official message of accept
ance on the part of Cambridge. Mr.
Jackson said that he had been author
4 ICED by the Cambridge Athletic club to
1 conduct negotiations with Yale on their
behalf. The meeting, he said, would
| take place on September 20 unless 1T
| Should be Impossible for the Americans
! to engage in the contests on that date
| in which case the meeting would take
| place on october 5.
| Special arrangements would have to
! be made to enable the Cambridge men
/! to have leave of absence at the begin
ming of the October term. There were
4 two good features about the date Octo-
I Der 5.
In the first place New York society
I will have returned from the country by
] that time and consequently be able to
I witness the sports which will take place
! in New York; while in the second place,
I the interval between September q, the
/ date of the London and New York Ath-
I le+in nlIhe' contests and October g. can
4 be utilized as a period of rest by those
I of the Yale and Cambridge men taking
I part in both contests.
/ Truth to-day gays it Is settled that
/ the Cambridge athletic team which is to
\ go to the United states to compete with
I the Yale team will sail for New York
/ about the end of August.
