COLLEGE SPORTS TO-DAY.
THE DUAL GAMES BETWEEN PRINCETON
AND COLUMBIA-CONTESTS ON
THE DIAMOND.

This will be full day for the college athletes
and there will be many disappointed hearts II the
sun does not shine fair upon field and water The
annual dual track athletic games between Prince
ton and Columbia will be held at Princeton to-day,
and there seems TO be no question that the lisers
| will come out ahead by a very fair margin Inc
more hopeful enthusiasts for the Orange and BLACK
declare that there will be a difference Of from %
| 10 30 points In favor of the New-Jersey men, but
1t Is hardly probable that they will win out by more
than % points Jarvis is pretty to take first
place in the 10O-yard dash. although Long, OF
Columbia has been at times a formidable opponent.
Jarvis by the way has been doing exceptionally
| fine work OF late and word comes from the New
Jersey college that he is likely TO spring surprise
at the intercollegiate games and take first place in
the lOO-yard dash from all corners Jar~s Is in
good form to take the 22Oyard fiat race this after
noon hut Long. OF Columbia. has practically sure

mile Captain Cregan OF Princeton should have an
easy time Of It, and both the first medals should be
won by him. In the jumps. as well. Princeton Is
believed to have two first prizes fairly secure.
while the hurdles TO be fairly evenly divided.
Columbia has a pretty good set of men. who ought
to show up well in the struggle for second and third
places and thus make the contest full OF interest.
Yale men, as was explained In The Tribune Few
DAYS ago have been figuring themselves out as pos
sible winners over Harvard at the intercollegiate
games AT the same time Princeton has peen
figuring out how she can possibly come out ahead OF
Yale The Tigers believe that II dual games were

take the honOrs. Yale men are working uemeh-
dously hard to come to the scratch for the games

trim shape.
This will be another gala day at Annapolis. for
| races will be held this afternoon between the
varsity and freshman crews of the University or
| Pennsvlvanja and the crews of the naval cadets.
| The Columbia varsity defeated the Annapolis
| crew last Saturday in a beautifully rowed two
| mile race and the Quakers look upon their crew
| as distinctly superior to Columbia. The cadets

help them. and. as the race is a short one they
are probably strong and full Of fette as posi-

Among interesting college baseball games to-day
will be the contest between Princeton and Cornell.

game Of the series; the Yale-Orange game. at East
| Orange y. j.. and the first Yale Harvard freshman

Harvard baseball stock has been going down stead

situated near Boston, and was beaten 10 to !;
While Tufts is said to have a wonderfully good
