YALE AGAINST CAMBRIDGE
Meeting of the College Teams on
Manhattan Field Tomorrow.
Men w hO VIII Take Part In the Games
and What They Have Done In
an Athletic Way.

Tomorrow afternoon .at Manhattan Field,
the Yale and Cambridge University teams
will come together in an International col
lcge athletic contest. The event has re-
ceivcd great deaf of attention both here
and in England aud the results will be
awaited with much interest i'll both coun
tries.
Before the trials have been made it looks
as though the Americans ought to win at
least six of the eleven events on the pro-
gramme. In the l00-yard run the Wis
itors will have Williams and Wilding. Each
of these men have covered the distance in
1918 seconds. TIE Yale representatives
will be Richards and Burnet. Richard is
good for / o seconds for the distance, willie
Burnct has run ii in l o l . seconds
The Cambridge men in the 20 yard hur-
die race Will be Pelkinetcn and Fletcher.
Both Of these gentlemen have done this
sort OF race in / 8 10 seconds. The Yale
entries are Cady and Hatch. Cady is capa-
BILE OF doing the distance IN about the time
OF the foreigners. Hatch is not SO good.
This is one of the events the Englishmen
are confident they will win and the Amer
leans conce,le that IL is likely TO go TO
them.
For the high jump Cambridge has en-
tered Johnston and Jennings, and Yale
has entered Thompson and Sheldon. Tliis
is another event that there is doubt about
on both sides, 70. each of the four men
is credited with feet l l inches. The Eng
hshmen, however. are hopeful that their
men may do a little better than this ON a
pinch.
For the 3OO-yard run Cambridge has
Fitz Herbert and Davenport and Levin
and Yale Richards and Bycrs. tits expected
that Fitz Herbert for the English and Rich
ards for the Americans viii make this
race, W hici is another of the doubt ful events
Richards can 20 the distance in 81 IL sec
onds and Ti.z Herbert in about the same
time.
In the shot putting event Watson will
represent Cambridge and Hickok and Brown
Yale. Hickok, both sides agree. VIII win
this contest without trouble. AS he Will
also the hammer throwing event.
For the half-mile run Cambridge has
entered Horan and Davenport. and Yale
Crane and Wade. Horan is conceded to
be able TO do this in 1:5T, while neitherof
the Yale men will go the route under
two minutes.
For the broad jump Cambridge Will
present Mendelsohn. and Yale Sheldon and
Mitchell hIcndelsotn has covered 22 feet
and . inches. but Sheldon is expected
to win this event bandily, as he can.show
% feet.
For the mile run Cambridge has Luytens
and Horan. and Yale Morgan and Wadhams
Morgan can run the distance in about
1926 Luytcns can go the mile i'm less than
4:2O, and the race looks like gift for
the Englshman.
For the 440-yard run the Cambridge men
will be Fiz Herbert and levin, and Yale
Richards and Sandford. Ifsanford does not
start Chubb will take his place. Fitz Her
bert can run the distance in 40 seconds,
while neither of the Yale men are looked
IN for better than 80 seconds.
This has certainly been an unlucky year
for the British sporting brethren who have
come among us. First, came Dunraven
with his yacht and she was ignominiously
beaten by the Defender. Then came the
London Athletic Club, composed of the
crack amateurs Of England, Ireland, Scot
land, and Australia, and they We're beaten
by the New Workers in every event. Then
we were attacked by Capt. Mitchell and
his cricketers, and the Philadelphians simply
walked on them.
Next came the much-landed professional
pugilist, Arthur Valentine, the best man in
all England of his pounds. A great deal
had been heard >of his fistic powers, and
for time the American fighters of his
class stood aloof. They were in a quandry
about the advisablity of tackling him.
Finally, McKeever, the Philadelphian, who
as vet has met none of the really good
boxers i'll the light weight division of the
country agreed to fight the Britisher.
He beat Valentine at every point in. the
battle which occurred on Wednesday night,
and knocked him completely out in the
seventeenth round. Tomorrow the Yale
athletes will try conclusions with the Cam
bridge men. The Britishers themselves
admit that they will he beaten in more
than @ ma jority of the events. Altogether
it has been q sorrowful season for the sub
jects of Johnny Bull, while 1t has been a
glorious one for Uncle Sam.
Arrangements have been partially made
for big six days bicycle race meet to be
held in Madison Square Garden next spring.
If arrangements are finally made,and the
chances are that they will be, the meet will
differ in several important respects from
those previously held.
Harley Davidson, the Canadian bicyclist,
early yesterday morning in 53 40 seconds,
breaking the worlds record of 30 seconds.
Jarvis street is paved with cedar blocks. is
absolutely level, and furnishes o splendid
course for speeding on a bicycle. The au-
thorjties, however, do not allow "scOrch.
ing" except late at night or during the early,
morning hours.
ssWillie" windie, paced by quadruplct
and Quintette, rode a mile at Cha rter 0ak
Park, Hartford, Conn.,, yesterday afternoon,
in1: Al 3-4. which equals the record ma deby
j. 8. johnson at Minneapolis on November
21, 1894. The quarters were 26 1-6.
SO 1-5, 1: :21 90, and 1:47 3-6.
