Several thousand partisans of one
OF the other ancient English univer-
stiles witnessed the sports, which
were run off in melange of Spring
time weather such as England alone
can experience ft-a little snow, a
little rain, little sleet, cold, bitter
wind, and now and then a dash of
cold sunshine.
Three intervarsity records were
broken, but two Of these events, the
pole vault and the 220-yard hurdles,
have been contested by Oxford and
Cambridge for only three years, so
that no great credit Is taken by those
who won them today because they
did better than their predecessors.
But A. E. Porritt, the New
Zealander, who won the 100-yard
dash In 9-10 seconds, accomplished
something that seems to be of con-
sequence In the long record of rivalry
between Great Britain's two ancient
universities. The Dark Blues have
raced against the Light Blues over
the 100-yard route since 1884, but
never until this afternoon has one of
them dashed the distance in less than
10 seconds. Even the great Abra-
hams of Cambridge, who defeated the
best sprinters OF the world in the
10o-yard dash event at the Olympic
games in Paris last Summer, never
got below 10 seconds in gaining his
four intervarsity Victories in the
century at Queens Club from 1920
through 1923. Porritt had a slight
diagonal wind behind this afternoon
and he finished with a fine burst of
speed, leaving the others we'll behind
him.
Stevenson, former Princetonian,
- n-%
porters by his victory in the quarter
mile. At that time. each side had won
four events and Lowe of Cambridge
was thought likely to defeat the
American, who obviously was not en-
joying the uncomfortable weather.
However, he overlook Lowe az they
turned into the finish stretch and
won with a lead of three yards In 81
seconds. ~
Pole Vault sis Novelty
The pole vault, which still is a now
city to most English athletes. was an
easy victory for two Americans, r. L.
Hyatt and C. B. Wright of Southern
California. who represented Oxford.
Hyatt still was jumping with heavy
trousers on when one Of the CAM
bridge yaulters, T. r. Scott, fell by
the wayside with the bar at only 10
feet, and the American had not yet
shed his sweater when the other Can
tab, r. H Bailey, failed to make a
vault of IL feet. Hyatt got over the
bar at IL feet 6 inches, but Wright
failed to do so, giving the Harvard
vaulter the victory.
Porritt, the hero OF the 100-yard
dash. was defeated in both the low
and high hurdles by Lord Burghley
of Cambridge. These two triumphs
seemed to please the crowd more
than anything else. 1t was not 30
much that Burghiey is a noble lord
and jolly good fellow besides, but
this 2o-year-old. heir to the Marquis
of Exeter Is an Englishman. and
some Of the cheering that Deeted his
victories can be attributable the fact
that the English are getting just a
little bit weary of watching the ir
home grown talent being defeated in
various sports by coloniaIs, Ameri-
cans and even nov and then by
fFrenchnien,

The Englishmen had a 4-2 lead in the first set, when the Americans, by fine driving. won four successive games with loss of only two points and took the set at 6-4.

(BY ART CARLSON

You can just about place a safe bet on Yale to trim old Johnny Harvard in the annual varsity eight cared race on the historic Thames river June 19.
 Frankly. it looks like the well known cinch for the Blue. Ot course, may be wrong, But pres ent indications point to nothing else but q Crimson crushing.
 Yale has 2 fine crew this season. Mayhap not as strong as was the 1924 ou'ft that cleaned up all opponents in this country. And then took hr5t honors at the olym- pics.
 But it's pretty nifty looking boat, nevertheless Some splendid exhibitions have been given this season. And the boys are showing improvement all inc time.
 The Blue Has Lcadcr
 Another thing, too. Yale has Ed Leader. He's one of tho greatest coaches in all rowing history, Leader knows the game. Knows his men thoroughly and how to get l the best out of them,
 When Leader first came to the Bulldog school his methods Tn tho main were scoffed at. They'd never do was the general opinion.
 But Leaders policies have proven sound. So much go in fact that various mentors throughout the country have followed his teachings to a great extent.
 i Leader came 10 Yale in 1923. | Since then the Blue hasn't been de- 1 foatcl on the water. Not the var slty shell at least,
 Yale and Harvard hayc clashNd in rowing almost yearly since 1855. It's one of the oldest events on the sport calendar,
 Yale has won 20 of fne classics, Harvard aG. In the last six meet ings the Now Haven boys have copped five times, four in the past four seasons.
 Chances to Win Small
 This time the Crimson hopes tc check the Blue advance. But tt' only a meaGcr hope. For nothing much less than snnken boat car prevent Yale from stroking cross the finish line q winner.
 Coach Ed Stevens and the liar ward rooters know what the Cam bridge shell is up againsf. An' while they are looking forward witt confidence 10 a good showing by tn Crimson rowers, they are not for moment discounting the capabilitic of the foe,
 True, Harvard may furnish complete surprise by nosing out tn Blue. But it isn't likely Nc this season, at any rate.
 The record for the four-mil course is 20:02 and was hung up b the great Harvard crew of 1916.

Tho Philadelphia newspapers are carrying the latest howl by Max Boo-Boo Hoff, manager of Danny Kramer. Philadelphia featherweight who suffered terrible lacing at Madison Square Garden in New York at the hands of Louis Kid" I1aplan of Mcriden in the recent featherweight elimination contests, saying that Kramer did not get B square deal in New York during the elimination tourney. Kramer is 10 meet Bobby Garcia, another conten- der in the elimination contests, In | Philadelphia on June 22 and If he wins, he plans 10 hurl def al Rap Ian to enter into a championship contest.
 At the present time, three New York promoters are seeking 10 get kaplan's signature for fight with 1 Johnny Dundee in New York and 1t | is expected that the bout will be pulled off in the near future. The dates for the bout. if arrangements can be made are either July 15 or I17. Tex Rickard is one ofsthe pro- motors looking for the match so 1t i is evident that there is some demand 1 for the bout in the big city.
 Nothing would please Kaplan moro than to get shot at Dundee because he feels confident he will ta1le the measure of the former champion and will not let him totter in the ring without sending him out for the count kaplan is recognized in New York and Connecticut as the fcathcrweight champion of the world but there are other places that are skcDtical about his right to claim the title. A win over Dundee would set Iau the doubtcfs at rest and make

 Efforts were made to get kaplah

 No doubt, if Kramer can shoP that he has the goods to stop Garci'
