Oxford and Cambridge
Favor Sending Team

LONDON, Nov. 2O.-The prospects of
an international university athletic
meeting next summer In America have
become brighter. The athletes OF Ok
ford and Cambridge universities are
largely In favor of such a contest.
Nothing definite will be done in the
matter until the proposal comes form
ally before the Cambridge University
Athletic Club and the Oxford Univcr-
sity Athletic club. The keenncss OF the
athletes at the English universities
however. Is such that II is believed the
uttorities will bring the scheme of an.
other contest with the athletes OF Hlr.
ward and Yale to maturity.
In case of oxford declining to partici.
pate, Il is likely that Cambridge will
send a team to oppose the combined
teams of Harvard and Yale.
