has already begun among some college
teams. 1t is even said that at New Haven
the regular practice will be kept up all
summer and there are number of candi-
dates that do not object to this as it will
better fit them for trial at making the
varsity team.

The A. A. u championships will take
place at Chicago Thursday. and through
out the country the eyes of lovers of
sports are turned toward the Windy City

East Herbert Marvel. the New Jersey
A. c.. flyer is the only man thought of in
the half mile event, and no one dares to
say he will not touch the record in view
of his performance at the meet of the

as his condition physically is very poor.
John Flanagan and McCracken Will take
care of the weights while Remington will
broad Jump. Clapp and Kraenzlein, who
have record honors only few days old
to their credit, will give the Chicagoians
a rare treat in their events.
The rowing race tomorrow between
Yale, Harvard and Cornell will be- a pret-

sation and made the feeling in favor Of
Cornell stronger than eyar. Cornell is
the favorite. and to beat her crew. barring
mishaps will demand a crash in standing
record figures.
