The absence OF the Olympic games at
Athens, Greece, this year ought to mean
greater interest in the classic contests when
they are held in the north in 1912 The
games this year did not promise very
much, owing to the absence of American
and other representatives, while the po-
litical situation IN Greece is so unsettled
that 1t would have been risky to hold the
meet there.
Australia and South Africa had gotten
the furthest along in their plans for rep
reseptation at Athens, and when cable
grams were sent, general regret was ex-
pressed over the calling off of the meet
ing.
The Olympic games were revived in
Athens in 1886 They were held in Paris in
1900 and at St. Louis, Mo-. in 1904 In 1903
they were held In London. In 1912 they
will be held in Stockholm and preparations
are already under way for this meeting
The Greeks were very desirous Of spe-
cial Olympic festival every four years for
themselves and held one in 1906.
The English cricket team which invaded
South Africa sailed from Cape Town for
London today, according to a cablegram
which have received. The British team.

games, is returning victorious, having won

In athletics, especially Of the English
brand. interest is very great There are
many athletic teams which go in for
cricket, polo, soccer foot ball, canoeing,
swimming. etc. The fact that English
forms OF sport predominate is accountable
in the simple fact that the English resi-
dents are in the majority. American
sports such as base ball and Rugby foot
ball. are very rare, indeed.
! A special tour is being arranged by Nc
Cams to take a party Of English and con-
/ tinental sportsmen to America next sum

special train will leave London, carrying
/ the party to the seaport selected for en-
barcation, and a specially chartered ship will

American continent. McCann's is one Of
the leading tourist agencies in business.
| Special cooks and servants viii accompany
the party and already great number have
slgnified their intention OF going.
! Robert Fitzsimmons, James Corbett
sharkey and Jeffries and all the other
old masters OF the ring, who, with the ex-
ception Of Jeffries, admit they are too old
for fighting, may take hope from Bobby
Dobbs, the British ring veteran who won
a fifteen-round fight from Charley Hlck-
man, twenty-eight years his junior.

Ted Coy, of Yale. the greatest foot ball
player in the history of the game, is show
ing up so well upon the base ball diamond
this spring that he will likely CLEAN new
athletic laureis when the base ball season
opens. AS a pitcher, he has plenty Of
curves. good control, and speed Just at
present he is not masking his delivery as
he should, but this will doubtless came in
time. Coy's physique and temperament are
well fitted to the position, and it would not
be much of a surprise to see him develop
into a star. BILLY" Lush, who is coach

Here is where the oarsmen of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin establish a new record
this spring. The muscular young gentle
men making up the rowing team Of the
Wisconsin varsity team were scheduled to
leave Madison on June IL, for Poughkeepsie
where the American regatta will be rowed
on June %. Now it so happens that the
spring exams were scheduled for the period
intervening between June IL and 25. 1t
looked for a time as though there would
be a nix-up and that crimp might be
placed in the athletic aspirations of the
oarsmen, but solution was finally found.
The exams will be held on the train and
professors will accompany the boys pro-
pounding queries in Latin and Greek and
mathematics Of varying degrees. Some Of
the professors may elect to remain in the
east and see the Boat races, but there is no
quibbling over the fact that they will
carry on these examinations just the same
as though the operation were going for
ward in class room.

crews, who was recently elected chairman
of the athletic council. predicts that Wis

somewhat Of a mystery. The ball wobbles

Many black velvet cloche-shaped
