tain Horan's, and he impresses one as
being student rather than an athlete.
In Wednesdays practice he ran half
In 2 minutes seconds, finishing rather
easily. At present he is troubled some
what with a lame foot, which he
wrenched in putting the shot, His COM
panion runner, Davenport, has repre-
sented Cambridge against Oxford, but
is much inferior to Lutyens. He has
done little running since arriving in
New Haven, but he is probably fast
enough to push Morgan hard.
Pilklngton and Fletcher will compete
against the Yale murders and the for
mer will be a dangerous antagonist
He is rather short for the high hurdles
but has great speed and strength.
Fletcher is taller and runs the sticks
more easily, but does not succeed in
making as fast time as his colleague.
Tho men are trying the American hur-
dies for the first time and find them
quite different from their own. Pill
kington has declared himself as much
pleased with the American method, and
thinks that he will be able to make
faster time than running on the turf
with fixed hurdles, as he has done in
England. He says there is little differ
ence between turf running and track
running in America, however, as the
American turf bakes in the sun until it
is about as hard as the track.
In the broad jump, Wallingford Men
delson, the New Zealander is likely to
be the only rival of Captain Sheldon.
He defeated Frye, the English cham
pion, at the last Cambridge-Ox
meeting with a jump of % feet 81
| inches, but since his arrival In this
country he has been unable to reach
anything like his best form and will
have to improve a great deal to defeat
| Sheldon.
Edward I. Watson will be the reliance
of the Englishmen in putting the shot,
but will hardly be dangerous oppo-
nent of either Hickok or Brown, as his
best put is nearly two feet behind their
| records. He has been accustomed to
putting the shot from the English ten
| foot square, but is rapidly becoming
accustomed to the American method
! which allows only a seven-foot circle
| His method is entirely different from
| that used in this country, as he takes
his position on the extreme back edge
| Of the circle and balances himself over
the edge on his right foot, with his
| left foot and both arms projecting out
| side the circle.
Jennings and Johnston are the Cam
| bridge representatives in the high jump
and hammer throwing. Johnston has
made the best record in England, but
| he is decidedly off in his form as yet
He has practised with the hammer or
one or two occasions only, and then
from the 30-foot circle according tc
the English method. The Englishmci
make two turns and a half before re-
| leasing the hammer, instead of one and
a half turns, as is customary with our
hammer throwers, but they seem tc
gain little advantage by the extra turn
Jennings has confined his attention
mostly to high jumping. He has q
| good style, and clears the bar rather
4 easily up to 5 feet inches, which thus
far has seemed to satisfy him, as he
| has not raised the bar much above
| this figure.
The men who will compete with the
London Athletic club against their New
| York rivals next week have gone t
New York and will train there until the
international meeting is over. Lutyens
| left yesterday and the others followed
| to-day Captain Koran, Fitzherbert
| Mendelson and Watson will be on tht
London team and Johnston may alsc
