and possibly from abroad. The Uni
versity of Washington entered its
eight cared varsity crew from Seattle
to compete in the Intercollegiate re-
gatta at Poughkeepsie. What the next
few months will develop in the way
of further competition not even a
prophet would care to predict.
At this period of the year when col
lege sport is at the height of its swing
the varsity colors play no small part
university combination of colors has
some interesting history attached to
it's adoption, and in this respect the
red and blue of Pennsylvania is not the
least. According to the University Re-
corder, G. E. Nitzche, red and blue
colors in the following manner.
In the summer of 1875 a track meet
was held by the citizens Of Saratoga
in connection with the annual boat
races. Pennsylvania had, up until
this time, never entered intercollegiate
track competition, but that year sent a
lone representative, H. L. Geyelin, TT,
the present president of the Pennsyl-
vania Athletic Association.
Numbers were not attached to the
competitors at that time, but instead
the athletes ran under different colors.
Geyelin was asked what coIors he was
running under, and when he said that
he had no colors, he was told that he
would have to select some It happen
ed that he was wearing a red and blue
striped cap a the time, and so he Sc
lected those colors. This was the first
time Red and Blue" was worn in
public as colors of the university in an
intercollegiate contest.
In an endeavor to improve the gem
eral standard of English field athletics
before the next Olympic games, the
Field Events Association has evolved
the plan of awarding medals to all
British athletes who equal or exceed
certain set standards during the sea-
son of 1913. The medals can be won
at any time and at any meet thereby
different from the standard medals
given by the Amateur Athletic Asso-
citation, which are only y granted to
competitors in a championship meet.
For the first year the standards have
been made moderate. comparing ia
forably with American interscho1astic
marks, and being as follows:

FIVE TO ONE THAT
GIANTS WIN REMNANT

New York June Although the
Giants have played an cratic game
this season and are a considerable dis
lance from first place, is their pros
pect and showing such as to justify
odds of 5 to L against their winning
the pennant?
This question is prompted by the
fact that those odds are being laid
against them in Wall street. The
Giants were 6 TO favorites over the
field at the beginning of the season,
and the season hasn't gone so far yet
that the latest strength of the Giants.
if it still exists, cannot exert itself
and pull the team up to the front.
The team isn't playing its game
that's certain. and there enters the
question as to whether it will begin
and how soon. The fact is that the
Giants still look to have the strength
to do much better than they are doing
They are not so far behind that they
haven't the time. to overcome the
lead. Is it to 1 that they haven't the
sustained strength TO work their way
to the lead?
