Anxious for Track Meets.
Harvard and Yale, Cornell and
Princeton-all are anxious for a re-
newal of the track and field meets
with the combined Oxford and Cam
bridge team. The two international
meets held in this country last year
served to eniiven athletic interest in
all colleges, and it is understood here
that the sentiment at oxford and at
Cambridge is strongly in favor of a
continuance of the events.

events on the program, the airplane
races for the Pulitzer trophy and the
flying boat races for the I.urtiss
marine trophy viii be held this fall

Carpenter has signed articles to come
10 this country early during the year
TO risk his title in a bout with Tom
Gibbons of st. Paul, but Georges
willy manager and crafty publicity
agent, Francois Descamps, sees to it
that Georges is going to America, "
one day and NO, he's not" the next.
The Frenchman is said to be de-
string another match with Dempsey.
but the promoters say it wouldn't pay
in this country. So if Georges comes.

Gibbons. And after Gibbons, If
Georges is victor, he may be induced
TO meet Gene Tunney. A. E. F. and
American light-heavyweight cham
pion.
