College Men 10 Ride.

interest in the cycle racing game is
now centered in the result Of the Inter
collegiate races to be held at the Man
haitian Beack track next Saturday.
Although it is conceded that Columbia
with their crack riders will duplicate
their victory Of last year with new
material in the field. The CHAMPIONSHIPS
70 be contested are the quarter, half and
one mile, five miles and one mile tandem
Last years quarter mile championship
was won by ]. T. Williams. Jr.. Of
Columbia, the half mile by Fearing of he
same University, and the one mile by
George Rupert from the same institu-
ton. The five mile it will be remembered
went to Fred Schade, by his sprint at
the finish, while Elgin and Williams of
the University of Pennsylvania took the
honors in the tandem race. All of these
men except Rupert Will contest in this
years races with many additions. The
Columbia boys figure It out that thew
should win all the events. They give for
their reasons, the fact that Powell should
be 1nvlncible in the quarter and mile,
with Fearing for the half mile, and Daw-
son Tor the five mile. In the tandem
event they cannot see how any college
team is fast enough to beat out Powell
and Dawson who will man the double
fieeted machine. With this reckoning
you'd leave nothing but second and third
for the other colleges to contest for.
There are said to be some men in training
at the other colleges who will stand an
excellent chance of breaking up these
well laid plans. The colleges who will be
represented are Yale, Swatmore, Pennsyl-
vania, Harvard, Georgetown, Dartmouth,
Columbia, College of New York n the
Boston University.
