The final list shows that Harvard will
have thirteen of the twenty-five men
on the American team. 1t will be no.
ticed that e. C. Waller, the Yale high
jumper, was not taken on the trip.
The men were given an enthusiastic
farewell at the dock and We're accom-
panied to England by over fifty Yale
and Harvard men, who go to cheer on
their team.
There was a big crowd down to see
them off and the crimson and the blue
We're much in evidence. About fifteen
Harvard students and an equal num-
Der Of Yale students sailed on the same
boat in order to be present at the games
and help root for victory. The passen-
gers generally took a decided interest
in the college men, and as the big boat
backed out of her slip the majority Of
them were waving makeshift banners
of blue and crimson ribbon.
There was no dearth of flowers in the
college colors. Just before the boat got
away two magnificent floral pieces with
the blue and crimson intermingled We're
hurried over the gangway, followed by
a generous contribution Of fruit, Many
of the young women who had friends
or relatives on the team carried crimson
parasols or waved Yale pennants. There
was plenty of enthusiasm. Just as the
boat was backing into the stream the
college men on the end of the pier got
together and shouted themselves hoarse
with alternate yells for the late rivals.
Then the team focked together forward
and returned the yells with equal VIM
and altogether there was less occasion
for using handkerchiefs than usually
marks such an occasion. The cheering
lasted until the big boat dropped down
the bay out of bearing, and only faint
twinkle of crimson and blue showed
that the farewell spirit was still I'M
spent. us
WALTER CAMP WITH THEM.
Among the Yale men on board was
Walter Camp, the veteran authority on
football and athletics in general. He
intends seeing the games at Queens
ground July %, and will spend the re-
mainder of the summer touring the Con-
tinent. He seemed to be very sanguine
of the American teams success.
THE men are in fine fettle," he said, |
every one of them, and Of course, /
xpect them to do great things | am
not going to make any prophecies, |
hough," he added with a smile.
Captain Roche, of the Harvard team, |
said that all of the men had been doing |
20 finely that they would do no work on |
he way over, but take a much needed |
est.
"Quinlan and Burke he said, ''are
he only men who have been across the
,cean before, and so all of us are looking !
Onward to more or less seasickness. We
lon't anticipate any Serious trouble on
hat score, though.
1--WE will have about ten days after
We land to get into condition again, and
hat will be enough | think we have
specially good chances in several
vents, and if everything goes all right
Why, we ought to make good showing
II around"
When asked if he thought there was
nythng in the story that two of his
len would be declared ineligible be-
ause they had eaten at the training ia
lie of a well known athletic club, he
lughed and characterized the story as
bsurd.
TO TRAMP AFTER GAMES
T. E. Burke, Harvards crack half
lier said that most of the men would
amain abroad for the summer, He and :
.oche and Quinlan, he said, will take a
alking tour through Scotland and Ire

YES in Paris,
Talk about spirit said the runner,
here were ten Harvard men so anxious |
see the games that they started from
oston last week on a cattle steamer,
orking their way across
James G. Lathrop, trainer of the Har-
nd men, and A. F. Copeland, who has
lie Yale men in hand, We're very much
evidence. Mr. Lathrop said the men
ere in good condition. Speaking of the
suits of the trip across the ocean, he
id:
THE men at present are in good
,alth and show the result of training. |
course the majority Of them have
yer been across the pond, and the eff |
ct of the trip on them is matter for
| believe that they will be
ck in form few days after we get
land again and if thew do S1ffar
