The greatest interest is being taken in the coming Yale-Cambridge games, which are to take place on Manhattan field on Oct. 5, not only by the Yale undergraduates, but by all the athletic public, believing that College games of this nature present the best and purest form of amateur sport. Yale is doing everything to make the meeting worthy of an international name; one to which the Englishmen will look back with pleasure. In this the college has had the firm support of the alumni, and there is no doubt that the event will be as brilliant from a social, as from an athletic point of view.

The Cambridge men are bigger, older and better developed physically than the members of the Yale team. Captain Shaw of the L. A. C. team, expressed surprise that the American sprinters were for the most part of light build, and said that in his opinion strength was essential to fast sprinting.
