Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-05-10

College men and college boys the
country over are in their glory to-
day. for sport of nearly every sort is
down on the carpet for decision. The
greatest attention. of course. is being
attracted to the big triangular boat
race set for o'clock on the Charles
river, at Cambridge. In that race,
and striving for victory, will be the
doughty crew of Princeton, more
formidable this year than in any of
the previous years since she has last
taken up the water sport, about four
years ago. But he Tigers will have
some opposition. and mighty oppo-
sition. at that. Harvard. one of her
opponents, is the favorite among col
lege men in general for the race, and
Pennsylvania Is considered to have a
chance With all three
crews in fine shape and confidence
rampant among the members
of each and every eight, the wonder
is really small that the interest in the
contest is so great.
G.
Baseball games on college diamonds
are sure to have their usual large
and Princeton has the dis
of playing the biggest game
of the day. The Tigers are meeting
Cornell at Old Nassau. and this at
traction, with Yale down there for an
athletic gambol, is Turing large
of Newarkers to the scenes
of action. Another big contest has
Yale at Pennsylvania, and Lehigh is
playing Bucknell Harvard at HOLY
Cross is generally some game, and
those who are close by will not IAN
to see the battles at West Point, at
Annapolis, at Amherst, at Lafayette
and that other big game, in which
Syracuse plays Michigan at Ann Ar
Dor.
@
Athletic meets in profusion are on
the schedule today. There are more
than dozen listed, the most I'M
nortant. of course, being the ones be-
tween Harvard and Cornell at Cam
bridge and Yale and Princeton at
Tigertown. Numerous of the other
colleges are also enjoying athletic
events this afternoon, among them
Pennsv at Dartmouth. Haverford at
Lehigh, Wesleyan at Brown, La
fayette at Swarthmore and New York
University at Rutgers. But the great
big meets are the ones at Cambridge
and Princeton, yet the results from
all the college fields will be awaited
with keen interest, the joy, of course,
going with the victorious ones.
@
Lawn tennis, lacrosse, golf-all
these sports are features in the col
lege world today. Out of them will
come victory and defeat, joy and
shattered pride. The young man of
today who is cheering and straining
every nerve for victory may be the
big business man of tomorrow,
with the same energy, the same
LOYALTY to task as he is displaying
on his college campus right now. The
world loves a fighter and a winner
none less than she loves lover, and
it is at the colleges and in the col
lege sports where day by day the
best fighters and the most magnani-
nous losers are being moulded for
the stupendous task of the hard and
cruel days to follow.
C
The cycling races at the Newark
tomorrow afternoon should
furnish the best sport of the season.
The big event is exclusively for Aus
tralians, and when they have finished
what promises to be most desperate
struggle there is likely to be much
envy and tears in more than one of
the camps. Six sturdy Antipodeans
are entered in a special Invitation
match race. 1t was very kind of
Manager Chapman to be so thought
full of the foreigners. but. to tell the
honest truth, from what you can hear,
the Australians are not thankful at
all. Each and every one of them,
from all accounts. would much rather
be after the scalp of Champion
Kramer than be fighting among
themselves for an individual victory.
There is an awful feeling of rivalry
among at least three of the Aus
tralians, and they would just as leave
have the issue remain in doubt as
long as possible.
The choices in the contest for the
are naturally ALFRED
Goullet, Jackie Clark and Alfred
Grenda. What business, as far as
victory is concerned, Gordon Walker
Paddy Hehir and Ernie Pye have al
starters only themselves perhaps
know. OF course, one of them ma
conveniently be in the way of one OF
the big Three" when sprinting tim,
comes, or there may be other smart
tricks that might be worked to thu
detriment of one and to the advan
tage of another. But even so, il
would be most difficult task to bea
all three of the good men. AS to thu
out -and-out winner. it is no easy
task TO decide. Goullet has mucF
speed and good head. and on thes'
qualifications he Is best liked as tn
victor Clark has, 1t is believed, NOR,
speed than Goullet, but besides bein.
