teams are SO closely matched that Il
becomes difficult task TO pick The
winners. The contest will take place
Sept 81, the date set for the start OF
the Americas cup races, and il Is gen
orally predicted that the cool weather
usually prevailing at that time VIII be
productive OF high class work.
Yale and Harvard for several weeks
have had their prospective representa-
tives In active training, and the Ameri.
can collegians are rounding into Top

establishment, with its spacious
grounds and racing tracks, built for
training horses, affords unexcelled ad-
vantages.

The composition Of the Yale team
will be q matter of doubt until a few
days before the carnival The New
Haven managers are not sure that
Hargrave and Boardman win finish
training In Al condition. 1t is feared
that continued strain on the tendons
the men injured last spring will serve
TO weaken them.
Hargrave will be Yale's mainstay In
the 100 yard dash. When fit, he Is the
fastest man at either Yale or Harvard,
and he is needed TO defeat Kinds Of the
English team. In the case OF Board
man more anxiety is felt, although lac
has been in the hands Of specialists,
who say that he will probably come
out all right.
Boardman will be Yale's quarter mill

inches In the high jump, is looked on
as winner of the event. He Is now in
better shape than when he captured
first place in The intercollegiate meet
last spring in New York.
From the present outlook America

contests. Yale will probably win the
