 COMPETE TODAY
Universities of Old and New
 England Are Represented

Cambridge, Mass, July 13 P| Four great universities of old and new England meet here today on track and field In one Of the most famous of international competi- tions. The joint forces of Harvard and Yale were slight faVorites to repel the invaders from Oxford and Cambridge in their ninth meeting since 1899. England and America each has four victories to her credit.
 The 15,O0O spectators expected at the Harvard stadium were to see d meet which has a flavor all it's own. First places only count in the l2 events except in case of a tie, when second places decide the result. Only four men, one from each university. will compete in each event. Rec ords, though they have been made often. count for little and pre-meet forecasts are more than usually haz- ardous. Two years ago at Stamford Bridge England, the Americans. overwhelming favorites. were de- feated 10 5.
 Today Harvard Yale athletes were picked to win ' of the 12 events but the light blue and dark blue of Cambridge and Oxford may flash 70 the front when least expected be- cause English training is deceptive to the American eye and the British runner has a ha bit of flashing his best when it counts most after treat ing time trials as more or less Of a lark

 The Reds secured first blood when Hack Wilson. barrel shaped outfeld- CT for the Cubs. was suspended for three days for invading the Reds dugout on July 4 The Cubs gained an even break yesterday, when John A. Heydler, president of the Ma tonal league, acquitted Wilson of a charge that he committed an "un- justfiable and brutal assault on Pete Donohue. veteran pitcher of the Reds at the Union station, Chicago, the same night.
 The feud began at Wrigley Field, Chicago. on Independence Day. Re- senting taunts hurled at him by Ray kolp, Cincinnati pitcher who was sitting on the bench, Wilson left first base and rushed for the Reds dug out. He was stopped before he gain ed his objective. That outbreak cost him a three day suspension and a fine of s100.
 That night as the two clubs were leaving for the east. Wilson sought to enter the Reds car, intending ap- parently. to make Kolp apologize or fight. Before he got anywhere near kolp, the Cubs outtielder engaged in an argument with Donohue. After insults had been exchanged Wilson 1 knocked Donohue down. Cooler heads halted the strife before it went any further,
 The Cincinnati club made forma' protest and President Heydler begar an investigation. calling various members of the clubs before him tc 1 testify as to what really had hap
