YALE DECLINES
For Good and Sufficient Reasons to
Meet Cambridge Athletes.

New York, May 29.-Charles r.
Sheriff., chairman of the graduate
committee on track athletics of Yale
University, announced, today, that Il
challenge from Cambridge University,
England, for an athletic meet between
The two universities had been declined.
ON Friday last. the day before the Yale
Harvard games, Mr.. Sheriff. said that
he received Il cable from the Rev. Mr..
Gray of Queens College, Cambridge,
asking if Yale University would meet
Cambridge University alone in an in
ternational meet, this July. Mr.. Gray
is the honorary treasurer of the Cam
bridge Athletic Association.
Mr.. Sheriff. said he WAS rather sur
prised to receive this, because he had
neither directly or indirectly had any
with Mr.. Gray and also
because Yale had taken no further
steps after sending a cable declining
to accept the Joint challenge from OK
ford Cambridge. This challenge from
Cambridge was submitted to the Yale
committee and after careful deliber-
alton Yale decided that inasmuch as
the original plan for d joint meet had
proved impossible and as it was rather
late in the season they would have to
decline the Cambridge challenge. A
cable was sent to Cambridge saying
that owing to Harvard's refusal, the
Joint match was impossible for this
year, and Yale preferred to let any in
ternational match go over until another
year.
Mr.. Sheriff.. referring to the oxford
Cambridge challenge to Yale and Har-
ward, said he was sure that all Yale
men regretted very much that Harvard
had decided not to join Yale in an ac-
ceptance. Harvards refusal was rather
a surprise to the Yale management,
he said, because the result of the con-
ferences between Mr.. Thomas. the cap
tain of the Yale team. and Mr.. Clark,
manager of the Harvard team, during
the month of March on the subject
was that Mr.. Clark had said that Har-
ward would be very deSirous of arrang-
ing some international match jointly
with Yale in London this July.
Later Mr.. Thomas was informed by
Mr.. Clark that the challenge should
come from oxford and Cambridge, be-
cause they were the losers of the last
match. Then the full and formal chal-
Ienge came in duplicate to Yale and
Harvard, April IS. Yale rather expect
ed that the international match was
assured After Harvard's refusal to
ioin in the acceptance of the challenge.
Yale let the matter drop and gave up
any idea of an international meet this
year.

on the front seat, were thrown to the

Mrs. GladWin's teeth were knocked out
and she was otherwise badly bruised.
All the passengers were hurled into
the front end of the car by the i'm
pact and u half dozen of them sus-
tanned cuts and bruises of more or
