ENGLISH ATHLETES
MAY COME OVER.
Yale and Harvard and Oxford and
Cambridge Have Now Broken Even.

Much has been written and said
about the defeat of the Yale-Harvard
track and field team by Oxford and
Cambridge on Tuesday in England by
the help of G. F. Putnam, an Ameri-
can Rhodes scholar from Kansas City,
who is studying at Oxford. One point
decided the meeting and Putnam was
responsible for that point in the ham,
mer throw. This aroused unfavorable
comment by some on both sides of
being adversely criticised for calling
on outside help and Putnam being ac
cused of disloyalty to the country of
his birth. However, it was not
meeting between the United States
and Great Britain; it was a meeting
between the athletes of Yale and Har-
ward and Oxford and Cambridge. Put
nam is a student at Oxford, and
whether he was born in America, Eng
land, F'rance or Spain, he owed his
loyalty to that institution in an inter-
collegiate<set of games, even if these
games had an international flavor
The Daily Express, a London publ
cation, said editoria1ly the day after
the meeting: TT is most appropriate
thatthe odd event was won by the aid
of an American Rhodes scholar, which
is the best proof of sportsn1anship
and the success of Rhodes ideals. II
also is reminder that England and
America are one family
InlS seems to be the proper spirit
in viewing the victory of Oxford and
Cambridge, a victory that was well
earned and richly deserved, judging
by accounts from abroad.
The score is now even, Yale and
Harvard have won twice; Oxford and
Cambridge have won twice. This
opens the way to another meeting,
perhaps next year in this country,
which will do much to stimulate in
terest in track and field sports. I'm
der the circumstances, the American
athletics did well under the handicap
of an injury to Kelley, the best quar-
ter miller, and the change in climatic
conditions, Chisholm, Garfield and
Holden of Yale and Preble of Har
ward earning international fame by
winning their events for the American
colleges.
1t may be mentioned at this time
that Cable, the Harvard hammer
thrower, has bettered the mark in
practice that won the meet for Ok
ford and Cambridge. He failed at the
Intercollegiate games in the Harvard
stadium last May to do in competition
what he could do in practice, and he
failed also in England. Some athletes,
through no fault of their own, are un
able to do their best in the stress of
conflict

MURPHY'S FREAK HOME RUN.
Danny Knocked the Ball Into a Knot
hole in the Fence. .

Plug one for me-, said reminiscent
Eddie Plank the other day, according
to the Philadelphia Times. that the
funniest freak home run I ever saw
was push Danny Murphy gave the
ball one day in Cleveland. He hit it
a mile down into the field where Ell
mer Flick was playing We saw him
run after the ball, while Danny flew
around the bases. He kept trying to
get the ball somewhere down there,
and the more he kicked and squirmed
to try to get the pill the further Muir
ply was racing around the bases.
Danny got home and still no ball Ell
is stuck in knothole out in the fence.
and you'll have to chuck out another
ball if you want any national pastime.
And, by gee, that's exactly what hap
pened. The ball had struck a knot
hole in the Tense, wedged in there and
you couldn't get it out unless you dug
it out with a knife
