Among the horses expected to come together are such well known trotters as Gypsy Boy. Sir Albert, Elect. Little Jay, Dewey H and Quick Silver. Petronia Princess, George R and Sam $ may also be among the contestants There was no racing program carried out yesterday. but several lively runs were witnessed during the afternoon by large coneourse of interested specta. tors.

PRESIDENTS ASSENT
Heads of Oxford and Cam bridge Athletic Clubs De-
 sire Meeting.
WITH AMERICAN COLLEGES
Desire to Accept Challenge, But Sug- eest Date be Changed to First
 Week in July.

Cambridge, England, Feb. 10.- Some members of the Cambridge Uni versity Athletic association, including E. H. Ryle, president, are of opinion that the British universities should accept the challenge sent by the Inter- collegiate Association of Amateur Ath- letes of America for an international track and field athletic meeting be- tween teams representing the colleges and universities of the United States and those of Great Britain, following the Olympic games this year, and they are making all effort to bring about a meeting this summer. Oddly enough, the presidents of both Oxford and the Cambridge clubs, who are students, are in favor of accepting the Ameri- can challenge with some notifications, while the honorary treasurers of the clubs, who are both professors, think that the obstacles are insurmountable. Mir Ryle said to-day:
 As has been said before, it is most difficult for us to keep the teams to- gether until July, as the university athletes go out of training in March. A few of them, however, will keep in condition for the Olympic games. and it might be possible to make up a team It would nevei do, however, to wait until after the Olympic games, as tho Americans suggest, for the peo- pie then would be tired of athletics and we could not get anybody to att tend l suggest that instead of that the universities have their contests the first week in July at the Queens club after which the men could take part in the Olympic games, if they desire, l had another idea, but have been informed that the Olympic association would not agree to It. This was that the Olympic games be opened with in- teruniversity sports. I suggest that the challenge be accepted if the Amer jeans consent to change the date to the first week in July"
 Mr. Kyle is not confident of carry
 ing this proposal with the two treas- urers opposed to him, but the question will be discussed at the meeting to be called to discuss the decision reached by the oxford club.
 J. II. Gray, the honorary treasurer of the club, does not think it will be possible to accept the American chal- lenge, because there is no telling how many of the present track team will be at tho university in July. Some of the men are in their last year, and. furthermore. 1t would be impossible to ask the others, who have been in training since January, to continue to work after the Notwithstanding sports

PALMER DEFEATED
Tommy Burns Knocks Out the English Champion in the
 Fourth Round.
BEATEN FROM FIRST GONG
BritOn Unable to Deliver Blow or to Defend-"Fights Like an Old
 Woman" Says Roche.

London, Feb. 10.-Tommy Burns, the American heavyweight pugilist knock cd out Jack Palmer of Newcastle, tn, English champion, tonight in the fourth round of what was scheduled to be d twenty-round contest for the hea- vyweight championship. Some LOCO persons saw the fight which took place at Wonderland, a big music hall on the East Side but ii was a one-sided af- fair from the sound of the first gong until the middle of the fourth round, when Palmer on his knees was finally counted out.
 The referee might have given deci- sion in the first minute of the contest. for Palmer was beaten man from the moment he entered the ring. Burns climbed under the ropes smilingly and showing his customary confidence, while Palmer displayed great nervous ness. Without any preliminary spar ring Burns went after him, and the first round had hardly begun before the Englishman was on his knees, He took the count twice and during the rest of the round was busily engaged in covering himself.
 This was repeated in each of the oth- CT rounds, Palmer being hopelessly out classed. and apparently without ability either to deliver a telling blow or to defend himself In the final round he was sent to the floor several times, where he remained with his elbows on the floor until after the count of ten had been tolled off.
 Jem Roche, who has been backed by syndicate headed by Richard Croker the former Tammany Hall leader. to fight Burns in Dublin on St. Patrick's 5 day, was spectator at the rngside to- night. His only comment was;
 Palmer fights like an old woman while Burns Is a master of the art, and besides, was in splendid condition
 The fight was for S2,50o side and saventy-five per cent of the gate re- ceipts. The odds were 6 to 1 on tic American, but there was very little bet ting. There were no takers for bets of fered for Palmer that he would stay six rounds

 Hulse's Alleys.
BOWLERS ROLLED ONE TIE
Yale Champion Has 10 Win Six of the Thirteen Games Tomorrow at
 the Tuxedo Alleys.

Hill. the Yale bowling champion, stepped into the arena with Butch Weber last evening and did the unex- pected, winning seven out of the twelve games and the tie rolled last evening at Swift X Hulse's in the first games of the series between the two champions for individual supremacy.

 The series was exciting from start to finish and both pin-knights worked hard for every pin. Hill started off by picking the winning color the first crack but Weber came back strong in the second game, winning by 29 pins. The third game resulted in tie. Web CTS combination arrived in the seventh frame when he rolled PA. Hills highest single was 245 attained in the eighth frame, Hill rolled 57 pins better than his rival.
 This. the first of the series, resulted in no marked victory for Hill only in side bets, in which Hills friends, irl- dulging freely. got away with the overfowing purse The second and final series will be rolled tomorrow night at Huber's Tuxedo alleys. Thir- teen games will be bowled and the man winning the number of games necessary to pull his total victories up to thirteen will stalk away the victor with s100 side booty.
 The scores of the games last even ing follow:
 Hill-1s2. 174, 197. POS, 1e2, 211, 19s, PAP. 222, i6S, 2o4 ITO, 172-To- tai. 2516. Average, 1937.

 son to Leave College.

Elmer Irving Thompson, the all American guard of the Cornell foot ball team, whose home is in Waterbury has been compelled to leave college owing to deficiency in his studies.
