CAMBRIDGE WINS FIVE EVENTS
ON THE QUEENS CLUB
GROUNDS.
NOT A RECORD LOWERED.
VICTORIOUS ATHLETES LIKELY
TO COMPETE WITH THE
YALE TEAM.
A JOINT REPLY FORWARDED.
O-Onians Consider Themselves
Out of the Question. but Not
So the Others.

LONDON, July 3.-At the conclu-
sion of the Oxford and Cambridge
contests today W. J. Oakley, presi-
dent of the Oxford Athletic club,
| said to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press: We'll, the question of
Yale's challenge now rests with
Cambridge" Subsequently the rep
resentatives of Oxford and Cam
bridge met and considered YaIe's
proposals. At the close of the meet
ing the following Official statement
was issued:
The committee decides, that as
Harvard refused to agree to their
part in the original proposal, it
would not be desirable for Oxford
and Cambridge to meet Yale single
handed, which decision the commit
tee regrets, in view of the sports
manlike proposal of Yale. AS any
other American combination seems
under the circumstances to be i'm
possible, it now only remains for
Cambridge, as the winner of tOday's
contest, to decide whether it can
consider Yale's challenge. This il
proposes to do Immediately, and wifi
communicate its decision at the
earliest possible date. Yale's pro-
posed date is too late for the Cam
bridge October term.
FIVE TO FOUR.
Cambridge won five out of the nine
events today and therefore the pros
poets Of her meeting Yale are brighter
than they were before. Cambridge won
at putting the shot, the one-Tnile run,
the 440-yards dash, the running broad
jump and the three-nile run. Oxford
won the 10O-yards dash. the running
high jump, the 120-yards hurdle race.
and throwing the hammer. Following

There was a strong wind blowing
across the grounds OF the Queens club
and it was this prevented faster time
being made by the runners or records
being lowered. Immediately after the
close Of the athletic contest the Cam
bridge athletic team went into secret
session in order to consider YaIe's chaI-
lenge. The sentiment of the team fav-
ored! its acceptance.
F. s. Koran, president of the Cam
bridge Athletic club, after the meet
ing informed a representative of the
Associated Press that it was more
than probable that Cambridge would
either accept Yale's challenge or chal-
lenge Yale themselves. The feeling
among the whole Cambridge team is
favorable to an American trip, and the
only obstacle seems to be the date of
the proposed meeting. The date prefer
able would be Immediately before or
after the London Athletic cIub-New
York Athletic club meeting. The Ok
ford and Cambridge teams dined to-
gether tonight
