Britons Challenge Yankees

London, May 23.-The American Line
steamer Paris, which sailed for New
York takes n challenge from oxford
and Cambridge Universities to the uni
rcrsities of Yale and Harvard for an
athletic contest to take place on the
grounds of the Queens Club, London,
during the last week in July.
The programme consists of the fol-
lowing events: 100-yard dash, 12O-yard
hurd.e-race, quarter-mile run, half n
mile run, three-mile run, hammer
throwing, high jump. long jump.
This is the regular Oxford and Cam
bridge programme, with n half-mile
run substituted for putting the weight
to the new rules of which event the
English university men are not yet ac-
custOmed.
The challenge rigidly insists that
every American Oppone 1t must. like
the Englishman, he o lutely stu
dent and absolutely q ateur ath-
lete
From the commune already
exchanged between the ,ntatives
of oxford and Cambridge Ia parties
in America there is little doubt that
the challenge will be accepted.
The meeting will be n great attrac-
tion at the close of the London season.
more especially if the presence of the
Prince Of Wales, the United States
Ambassador, Joseph H.Choate. and
Lord Rosebery is secured as is already
stated to be the case.
The university men here who have
the matter chiefly at heart, including
members of both teams are most anN-
ions for the match. They feel that the
proposal sent to the United States is Il
very sportsmanlike offer and they are
confident ii will be welcome.
The Englishmen point out that SO far
AS the Americans are concerned they
know their own strength and the
strength of their rivals. as shown by
the oxford and Cambridge sports in
March. but they (the challengers) are
ignorant of what their opponents may
have succeeded i'll accomplishing i'll
intercollegiate sports. This. they say.
bodes nothing but good, and Il most
genuine match, with the most genuine
desire that the best side may win.
