TRACK ATHLETES PLAN
INVASION OF ENGLAND
Crimson and Blue to Merge in Organ
iEntiOn to Meet the BIOom-
ing British.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. April 3oI-If the
plans laid by several prominent Yale and
Harvard graduates go through, a Joint
track team will invade England this sum
mer to compete against Cambride and Ok
ford. According to an alumnus who is well
posted in Eli athletic circles, the plan is
nearly completed. It is said that the Grim
son athletes are elated over the possibility
and are eager TO merge with the Blues in
order that the British collegians may be
met.
According to authentic sources, the
American universities have made a propo-
sition to the Britishers. The letter is, in a
way, sort Of a challenge. II a favorable
reply is forthcoming, then an official chal-
lenge will be forwarded and negotiations
for the Joint meet started.
The last invasion by Yale and Harvard
Of England was in 1904, when the American
athletes won from the oxford Cambridge
team and won six out of nine events. Then
both colleges boasted strong track combina-
uons, This year Yale is not so strong on
the track. The Ellis, however have a num-
Der of good weight men, while Harvard
has squad of fast sprinters and lonR-dis-
tance runners. Trainer Johnny Mack of
Yale says that an evenly balanced team
could be welded together from the two
universities.

New Ball Rules
Are Troublesome
Give the College Lads Considerable
Trouble to Adapt Themselves
to Change.

NEW YORK. April SO-The new rules
governing foot ball are giving plenty Of
trouble to coaches and players at spring
practice. The Yale men are finding IL
difficult to adapt themselves TO the regu-
latons which prevent diving tackle and
the use Of arms in interference. At Penn
sylvania the coaches declare that the new
rules are particularly difficult for a team
which has been using the Red and Blue
style Of play.
DR.. Carl Williams. Pennsylvania rep
resentative on the foot ball rules commit
tee, talked to the squad at a recent foot
ball smoker. In speaking OF the changes
In the rules. he said that Pennsylvania s
defensive foct ball would be entirely upset
and that her style Of attack would be
weakened by the new regulations. One of
the favorte formations of the Red and
Blue attack was to pull the guards back,
and the rule which forces the man run
ming with the ball TO hit the line unaided
Is severe blow to the old style He also
said that Walter Camps suggestion which
prohibits the ends from playing outside
the opposing player on the defense will
change the type Of players. According to
Mr.. Wlliamk the end will no longer be
the chief factor in breaking up a play,
DuL lne Dufuen or the WORK VIII rail- on
the guards, who will be obliged to run
out to the end to stop runs. In that case
the guards will have to be fast tacklers
and the ends and tacklers will be the
heavier men.
He agreed with the theory recently ex-
pressed by the coach of Cincinnati uni
versity who believes that the quarterback
will have new duties this fall. Dr. Will
Jams states that the rule which permits
the quarterback to go through the line at
any point will change that position into
a third halfback. Since the men must hit
the line alone, DIR. Williams believes there
will be practically four halfbacks, all
light and quick to squirm through OPEN
ngs. He said that the new regulations
will make the game very much like Eng
lish Rugby foot ball, and he did not like
the change. Judging by reports from
Yale, the quarterback runs under the new
rules will reorganize most every system
OF defense. During the Blues initial
scrimmage the quarterback plunge through
the line was responsible for frequent
gains.
These new regulations are causing more
earnest spring practice at the various
institutions than has been the case in the
history of the game. Cornell Is the only
large college which is not planning scrim-
mage practice, and there are but fifteen
men reporting regularly for work at
Ithaca.

DAVIS CHALLENGE TENNIS MEET
England and Australasia Preparing
for Preliminary Matches.


NEW YORK, April SO,-England and
Australasia are already moving toward the
deciding of the preliminary tie matches
between the British Isles team and the
Americans for the Davis International
Challenge cup, either at Wimbledon, Lon
don, or in Australia.
The Australasians have cabled the Eng
lish association with the view OF so ar
ranging the competitions, probably for the
courts at Chrlstchurch, New Zealand
Secretary Newburn states that before re.
plying to the Australasians he has Of
fered the Americans, through DR.. James
Dwight, president of the United States
association, the choice Of either playing at
Wimbledon, London, or in New Zealand.
The English association stands ready to
guarantee to the association of this coun-
try the same amount of expense money,
about 5000, that the Americans guaranteed
to the English last season for the tie
matches, which were decided upon the
courts of the Germantown Cricket club,
Philadelphia. This country has not yet
accepted or rejected the proposition.
1t is intimated that in any event no
British Isle team will visit this coountry
for the international lawn tennis cup ties
this season. Last year the Britons mar
rowly averted a split in their own asso-
ciation because Of sending team to this
country. A prominent player stated that
1t was his opinion that the proposition OF
the English association would be ac-
cepted, as less expense would be entaied
1t was learned that the subject had been
discussed officially in this country, and
that there was the possibility of william
A. Larned, the national champion. and
the ex-champion, Beals c. Wright, taking
their places as the leaders of the Amer
lean team that would invade England In

JEFFR1ES FRISCO FAvoR1TE
Coast Sports Quoting Odds on Big
Boiler Maker

Boiler Maker.
NEW YORK, April SO-In Frisco's lead
ing sporting resorts Jeffries is quoted as a
10 to favorite over johnson, with thous-
ands of dollars offered on the boilermaker.
1t seems to be a foregone conclusion that
Jeffries will rule favorite up to the moment
he steps into the ring at Emeryville on July
4. In fact many sporting men believe he will
received a world of backing at 2h or 2 10
at the last moment. II these odds are
quoted it is the opinion Of many that Jeff's
popularity will be the sole reason. The
widespread desire TO see the white man win
will be backed by unlimited money. But
regardless OF his color johnson will surely
find supporters among the spectators who
make II business to take the short end Of
every contest between men or beasts.
Some veteran ring followers will tell
you that all glove fights between hard
hitters are even money propositions and
that odds should never be allowed to 20
begging. These sharps will also inform YOU
that many ring-side favorHes in big fights
have been defeated. John L. Sullivan was
favorite when Jim Corbett whipped him. ana
Corbett had a call in the odds when Fitz-
simmons put him away. Then Fitz was a
strong choice when Jeffries stopped him
at Coney Island. Burns was the fayorlte
when Johnson beat him in Australia. Nc
Govern was in overwhelming favor when
Young Corbett knocked him out in Hart
tord' Jack Demsey had the greater amount
OF backing when Fitxsimmons slowed him
