BIG COLLEGES BEGIN
Will Start Base Ball With
Southern Trips.
GREAT ENGLISH ATHLETE
Is Ashington, Who Performed So
Well in Recent Oxford Cam
bridge Games.
BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL.

College men will have the honor Of
opening the base ball season of the east.
The intercollegiate diamonds will all be
cleared for action next week, when the
various big teams from this section start
on their southern trips. This year every
university of Importance will take a
training trip among the southern colleges
either during the month of March or
early in April The time and duration
Of these trips depends upon the time and
length Of the various Easter vacations.
The University Of Pennsylvania. Prince
ton and Yale go south the same week, and
their paths will cross at various points
Cornell Dartmouth and Harvard make
their southern trips about two weeks
later and will encounter the southern col
leges after the first three have returned
home. Princeton got slight start on
the other colleges with scheduled game
Wednesday.
The intercollegiate schedule is notable
this year for the fact that at least six of
the big eastern universities play each
other series of two or more games
These are Harvard, Princeton, Yale,
Pennsylvania, Cornell and Dartmouth.
Columbia meets each of these institu-
tons. but. with the exception of Penn
sylvania and Cornell, has no more than
a single game with any.
Among all college men there is keen
regret over the lack of an intercollegiate
schedule by which each of the big unjyer-
stiles would be obliged to meet each OF
its rivals in definite number of games,
so that there might be some satisfactory
award of the intercollegiate champion
ship. This year, although the schedule
was not arranged for that purpose, the
big institutions named play one another
often enough to enable one to form some
kind OF ranking at the end of the sea-
son. The list of dates is fair substi-
tute for the lack of regularly formed
intercollegiate schedule
The following is the schedule of games
to be played by the seven universities
previously referred to and generally con-
sidered to be the most important in the
college base ball world:

A Wonderful English Athlete.
| In the Oxford-Cambr.ds;e track and
| field meet last week the performance OF
| one man stands forth conspicuously. The
| individual in question was Ashington of
| Cambridge. winner OF three events. the
| 120-yard hurdles. the running broad 1ump
and the half-mile run. Not only was
| the triple win unusual for these games
| but the versatility displayed by ASKING
| ton stamped him as a marvellous athlete
| 1t is not rare to find man who is a star
| In the hurdles and the broad jump but
| for such q man to show stellar ability In
| the half-miIe as well is most extraordi-
nary. Ashingtons victory in the high
| hurdles which he won in is 1-5 seconds
was not exceptional though a good per-
| Torrance under the circumstances but
/, his leap of % feet 5la inches. the longest
| Jump ever made by an Engishman, was
| very high-class performance or itself
| 1t would have made Ashington famous,
