Harvard. meet at equal number of
representatives of the universities or
oxford and Cambridge 1t is the onIv
international collegiate field meet of
the season in England and to saw that
the public is deeply Interested i'm the
result is putting it mildly. If any,
thing We're needed to intensity this
interest it is found in the fact that

ons and Americans having one VIC
tory to their credit
There are nine events on the pro-
gram, six of which are to be decided
on the cinder path and three in the
field. While the public on this side
naturally expects the Britons to win
the meet. it is conceded that the
Americans will give them a hard
tussle. Many of those who nave seen
the Americans in training since their

In the sprinting, the weight
throwing and the jumps, Yale and
Hazard are expected to make tt cir
best showing. In the distance run
nlng the Englishmen are expected to
win away off. The middle distance
runs are debatable and they are ex-

ment of the match. With Scnick of
Harvard and Torrey of Yale i'm the
one hundred yard dash. it is felt that
this event is just as good as within

also expect to win the hammer throw.
The Britons are willing to cOncede
this event as it is believed that no
one in oxford or Cambridge can hurI
the sphere within ten feet of their
record throws. With II. w. Gregson,
of Cambridge. probably the best dis
tance runner in England, the Britons
expect to win the mile and two-mile
events. The quarter and nalf-miles
are regarded as decidedly open. In

is looked upon as a sure winner. In
the broad jump also the Britons seem
to have a trife the greater prospect of
success. A close analysis leads to the
conclusion that the meet will be the
closest of it's kind ever held between
American and British athletes and
