STARS TO COMPETE
Eyes of Racing World Arc Turned
Toward Pimlico and the Omar
khayyam,
By Briggs


Pimlico, Md, May THE first
struggle of the season between high
class horses in the all-age division
is looked forward to when Omar
Khayyam and CudgeI are numbered
among the probable starters for the
Pimlico Spring Handicap at mile
and seventy yards.
The meeting Of Omar Khayyam
and Cudgel was rendered almost a
certainty when Omar Khayyam made
his debut for the season yesterday af-
ternoon and galloped in winner in a
mile race in 40 2-5, Cudgel has
won two races since the season
opened, his final effort being a vic
tory in the Merchants Handicap on
Saturday, when he carried 100
pounds, and easily defeated a good
field.
1t is seldom that a battle between
Eastern and Western thoroughbreds
is scheduled for so early in the sea-
son, and the meeting of these two
cracks will be watched with unusual
interest. Cudgel, who scored all his
victories in the West last season, was
purchased by Commander ]. X. L.
Ross for $4,000. He will carry 127
pounds, and will be in receipt of an
allowance Of three pounds from Omar
Khayyam, which, with the exception
of a single defeat by Hourless, won
all his important races in the East
after starting with the Kentucky
Derby.
In addition to these great four
year olds, tho race will attract sucn
good handicap performers as Roam
err Ticket, Rickety, Crimper Haitian,
Crank Hendrie, and Borrow, as we'll
as the tittest of such promising three
year-olds as Papp, Arrah-Go-On,
George Starr, Nepperhan, and Quiet
ude.
The appearance of Omar Khayyam
yesterday was the magnet to draw a
larger Monday crowd than usual to
the track. The horse which earned the
three-year- honors last year ap-
peared to be bigger and looked in as
good condition as when he ran his
best races. He WAS dropped into
soft spot and had no difficulty in out
footing his company. Dominick had
the mount on the Viau crack and he
held Omar in restraint in the early
running J. *. l.. Ross Foreground
opened long lead, but as soon as
Omar was called on he quickly
worked his way to the front and
when once in command was hard held
until he finished a length and a half
in front Of Foreground.

MAY COME TO TERMS
Yale, Harvard and Princeton Athletic
Officials Will Decide the Football
Situation Next Week.

New Haven, May 7.--Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton will make another
effort to decide within week wheth-
err they will play football next fall,
and. If SO, under what conditions and
restrictions.
Their conference was scheduled
for last Friday night, but at the re-
quest of one Of the three, it was tenn
porarily abandoned.
Correspondence has passed between
the three athletic committees, and a
hope has been expressed by all that
the sport may be played under some
circumstances next fall.
More doubt about its resum ption is
expressed at Harvard that at either Of
the other two universities, and it is
believed that If an agreeme is
framed to revive the game in the fall,
Harvard will desire the privilege of
withdrawing later from any informal
plans made at this time
Yale and Princeton agree that the
sport this fall should be heavily re-
stricted. Yale would like an agree
ment regarding daily practice. All
the Yale players are compelled to
give three afternoons a week to mill
tary drill,leaving only two for prae-
tice and one for q game, Harvard and
Princeton havo five afternoons for
practice.
The three universities are united in
desiring tho following agreements:
/. Abolition of paid coaches.
.. Limiting Of training tables to
strict food administration conditions.
3. Less elaborate plans for games,
large crowds and attendant excite
ment
4. Limiting size of training squads.
5. Curtailing travelling expenses
and cutting hotel bills to narrow
limits,
6. Making absences from home as
short as possible.
