Five Of Premier Jumpers of
Country Will Meet in
National Classic
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Five Of the foremost hurdlers Of the
country, athletes who have won Olym-
pic, national and metropolitan cham
pionships, will gtrivo for The Tribune
prizes in the 70-yard high hurdle race
at the United War Work Fund track
and field games under the auspices OF
the Metropolitan Association at the
22d Regiment Armory, 168th Street
and Broadway, this evening. The
games promise to be the most stirring
held here III many months. as athletes
have been gathered from near and far
to aid the fund in it's "Garrison finish" 3"
Fred J. Kelly, Of San Francisco, who
has been learning the art of flying at
Hazelhurst Field, Long Island, turned
in his entry for the event late yester-
day. Kelly will be remembered for his
spectacular performances in the sprint
and hurdle races, but his most notable
achievement vas winning the 11O-
metre hurdle event at the Olympic
games in Stockholm in 1912. Earl J.
Thomson, Royal Air Service, Canada;
Walker Smith. late of Cornell Univer-
sity; John ]. Eler, who was without 81
peer over the "etlcks" years ago, and
Gus Desch, Pelham Bay, complete the
field.
In their mad dash for the prizes the
athletes will skirt" six flights of hur~
dies placed ten yards apart from start
to finish All five entrants will posi-
lively start. as Smith, Thomson and
Dcsch arc local men.

The indoor record for the distance
is 92-5 seconds, made first by Jake
Hartranft in 1910. and three years
later equalled by J. l. Werdell. How
ever, 1T Is very probable that these
figures will be erased.
Thrilling competition is assured in
the other thirteen contests on the pro-
gramme. Homer s. Baker. who has
featured his come back recently with
three straight victories from scratch,
will oppose his strongest field in the
1,000-yard handicap run. Baker should
be at home on the large drill floor
with his long, Looping stride, and
should make it hot for Jack Sellers,
Dewey O'Bricn, Dewey Rodgers, Joe
McCabc and Sandy Evans, who are
among his rivals.

Columbia Pri1ned for
Battle With N. Y u.

The Columbia football squad had its
final practice yesterday afternoon for
the annual clash with New York Uni
versity, which takes place at South
Field to-day. Owing to the hard scrim-
images on Wednesday and Thursday
Head Coach Dawson was content to al
low his men to run through the signals
and rehearse the plays which, it is
hoped, will upset the Violet. Accord
ing to Dawson's present plans. practi-
cally every man on the squad will get
into to-day's fray at some time or
other.
If the Blue and White win the seres
between the two institutions it will be
a tie, inasmuch as Columbia was victor
in 1916, while n. Y. y. carried off the
honors in 1916 and 1917 All these
games were decided by slight margins,
az followa:
1916, N. y. u. 6, Columbia 0; 1917.

Bloodgood and Hagan Defeat
Shiess and Bowling in
Spirited Match

spirited thirty-six hole four ball
match WAS played over the Garden
citv Coli Club links yesterday. In which
the competitors were so evenly matched
in skill that the contest was in doubt
until the very last putt was holed out
on the thirty sixth hole.
The competitors were +. L. Blood
good. one of the most expert amateurs
in the Cherry Valley Club. who had
Jack Hagsn, of the Salisbury links. a,
partner, and Adrian Shiess, of the Gar
den City Country Club, who had the
aid Of the services Of Jack Dowlinc.
professional of the Scarsdale Golf and
Country Club.
The match was just as closely fought
in the morning as it was in the after
noon, as Bloodgood and Hagan, who
led by up at the close of the morning
play, were 1 down at the compile
ton Of the first eighteen holes, while
Bloodgood and Hagan led by / up at
the turn in the afternoon and won the
match BY the same narrow margin. It
vas match in which the lead changed
hands several times.
1t was not case Of either of the pro-
fessionals doing all the playing. while
the amateurs did the filling IN, as the
amateurs were both of considerable
assistance to their partners. For in
stance, Independent of halving many of
Che holes with their partners, Schiess
won the fourteenth hole in par on the
first round, when the other three re-
quired one more stroke Bloodgood
saved the sixteenth hole by halving it
In par with Bowling, while in the af-
.srnoon Bloodgood won the fourth hole
in one stroke under par, while Schiess
saved the sixteenth hole by halving it
IN par with Hagan, when he ran down q
thirty-foot putt. In fact, Bloodgood
practically won the match on the sew
snteenth green, as it was all square
at that time, and he won the seven
teenth hole in the par of 4, the other
three taking 5 for the hole. The last
hole was halved in 8, Schiess hitcine
the back of the cup and rolled off q
couple Of inches on his putt for 2.
Bowling lay dead to the hole in 2 and
Hagan took 4 for the hole. missing his
putt for 8, which left Bloodgood the
final putt of yard or two for half
in 3, and he proved equal to the occa-
sion and scored victory by up.
