leges and the intercollegiate tourna-
ment which is to be played on the
Ardsley links tomorrow, Thursday and
Friday of this week promises to be UNI
usually we'll contested.
The competition will DC the second
held by the Intercollegiate association
and in addition to the four colleges
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Column
bia-which We're represented last year
the University of Pennsylvania and
possibly Cornell will send teams, as
well as one or two other colleges,
Three of the golfers who played on
the Princeton team last year are now
in college-Bayard, w. D. Vanderpool,
Jr., and ]. Stewart The other most
promising players at Princeton are j..
I. Blair, Jr,, c. H. Murphy, w. Childs
and c. Griswold. vanderpool is cap
tain of the team and holds the Prince
ton championship. Bayard is also a
prominent golfer and last spring de-
feated r. Terry g by one stroke for the
individual intercollegiate champion
ship.
All Of Harvard's team of last year,
with one exception, are candidates
again this year. They are w. B. Cut
ting. Jr., ]. F. Curtis, J. H. Choate, Jr,
/. T. Burden, Jr., and r. B. Stone. II.
B. Garrett, Jr., graduated last spring.
In addition to these men there are sew
eral very promising candidates and the
competition for positions on the team
has been very sharp.
Columbia's team is not likely to hold
prominent place in the tournament
owing to lack of interest as well as
practicing facilities at that university.
1t has not as yet been decided wheth-
er Pennsylvania will send an entire
team or merely individual players.
There is, however an abundance of
good material at that university.
The candidates for the Yale team
have been somewhat hampered in their
practice by the inclement weather, but
| nevertheless there are some very good
players among the material. The final
selection of the intercollegiate team
has not yet been made. The candidates
are w. r. Belts '9S, J. Reid, Jr., 90, w.
B. Smith 80, R. Terry, Jr, '98, S. A.
Smith so, r. H. Crowell '9S, T. M. Rob
ertson 1901, T. L. Cheney 1901, and E..
M. Byers 1901.
YALE HOPES TO WIN AGAIN.
The New York Times says of the
players:
Yale stands an excellent chance of
capturing the team championship a
second time, but, as last year, prob
ably has much to fear from her strong
rival, Harvard. Yale's victorious team
last year consisted of Roderick Terry,
Jr., captain; w. Rossiter Belts, John
Reid, Jr., w. B. Smith, s. A. Smith,
and Craig Colgate. All but the latter
are still in college, and have kept their
enthusiasm warm for golf. Colgate is
| now member of the Oakland Golf
club, at Bayside, L. I. Terry Belts,
and Reid are sure to play on the team
| this week. 1t is not so sure that the
Smith brothers will play, although w.
B. Smith probably may be selected
again. Three or four excellent new
men have appeared among the Yale
golfers during the past year, and Cap
| tain Terry will give at least two of
| them the opportunity of helping the
| team win the championship again.
IHe DSSL OI tIlcS new men are l.. wi.
| Robertson, r. L. Cheney, and r. H.
| Crowell. They have all played in the
recent team matches that Yale has had
with other clubs, and have generally
shown marked ability. Robertson Is a
member of the Shinnecock Hills club
and has been playing over the course
there for the last two years. He is a
| freshman, and while playing a good
game, is liable to be erratic, as was
noticeable recently when he beat Otto
| Hockmeyer by holes in the game with
the Staten Island Cricket club, and a
week later was beaten by holes by
w. Fl. Paterson of Ardsley, who is no
more formidable than Hockmeyer
| Crowell was in Yale last year, and
| played in some Of the club matches.
He is steady, safe player, and is quite
sure of being on the team this year
Cheney is af freshman and a member of
the Oxford Golf club, at South Man
| chester, Conn.
THREE STRONG NEW HAVEN
GOLFERS.
| Terry, Belts, and Reid are somewhat
better known in the golfing world, as
they have all played with success in
|
ent, possesses the bulk of the trios
golfing fame, for he met Champion H
J. Whigham in the finals last year at
Chicago, for the amateur champion
ship, having previously beaten Charles
B. Macdonald, another of Chicago's
golfing prides, and a one-time cham
pion. Belts was beaten by Whigham
but it was a high honor for one of the
| young college golfers to take second
championship honors so early in his
career. He is a member of the SHINE
cock Hills club, and plays there during
| the summer.
| Terry is an able player, and uses the
Newport golf links for his summer
playing. Reid is a son of John Reid
the veteran president of the st. An
drew's Golf club, and is one of the
strongest golfers in Yale He is dan
gerous opponent for the individual
championship of Yale. Terry and Belts
both had typhoid fever during the win
ter, and recently on Staten Island Belts
showed that it undoubtedly weakened
| his game somewhat, when George E.
Armstrong beat him by five holes.
The Harvard team has been practic-
ing faithfully all through April, and
whatever fate it meets at Ardsley this
week, there is no question but that it
will put up a strong game. Like Yale,
only one of the six members of last
years team has left college, but not ali
