International competitions in sport
ended rather disastreusly for Amer
lea In the year just being brought 70
a close. and only in one instance did
American athletes succeed In carrying
of the hOnors. Conditions in Europe
prevented the carrying out Of the In
ternational yacht race for America S
cup, or the motorboat races for the
Harmsworth trophy.
In other lines Of sport, however, the
invaders scored distinct triumphs. in
Guiding such features as the raising
OF the polo trophy, carrying off of the
Davis cup and in other events.
e.. From an international standpoint.
the victory of the Harvard second
crew in the Grand Challenge Cup race
at Henley was the most noteworthy
performance. England's best crews,
as well as those of Germany and 9TH
er foreign nations, competed, but in
the final heat Harvard defeated the
Union Boat Club easily.
In the Davis cup matches the Aus
tralasian team scored a brilliant vic
tory. In spite OF the defeat of the
United States team, Maurice Nc
I.oughlin defeated Norman r. Brookes
and Anthony Wilding in the singles,
winning the title OF champion of the
world.
There was an absence of interna-
tional interest in golf. as Miss Gladys
Rayencroft OF England failed TO de-
fend the title she won in 1913. All
of the American amateurs who went
abroad 20 compete for the British
championship we're defeated.
Football witnessed a number of re-
yersais of form. and was marked by
the development of the open style Of
game. Harvard won the so-called in.
tercollegiate championship for the
third consecutive time, but the small
er colleges made great strides toward
lessening the margin which existed
between their strength and that OF
the larger institutions.
