PRINCETON ATHLETES SAIL TO MEET OXFORD ON TRACK

Fifteen members of the Princeton track team sailed Saturday morning on the Philadelphia from New York for England, to oppose Oxford University in a dual meet in London on July 8. The group was led by Coach Keene Fitzpatrick, Dr. Kennedy as faculty representative, and Donald G. Herring, former all-American football star; Manager W. H. Downs and "Dan" Wheeler, the famous rubber, also accompanied the team.

Arriving in England about June 20, the team will go immediately to the training quarters of the English athletes, where they will do all of their practicing up and preparation for the meet. King George is to be a spectator at the contest. A number of the runners, after the meet, will journey to Antwerp and watch the Olympic games, and will make a tour of the continent. A few men have signified their intention to remain in England for the winter to attend Cambridge on Oxford.

The Tiger team this year is one of the strongest in many seasons, having easily defeated Yale and overwhelmed the University. Captain Erdman, 1918 intercollegiate high and low hurdle champion, is one of the strongest entries in his events, while S. H. Thompson, national all-around champion, and G. Trowbridge will be fast entrants in the hurdles. Besides hurdling, Thompson will take part in all the field events in the meet, and with his records of over six feet in the high jump and 46 feet in the hammer-throw should bring in some telling wins for his team. R. W. Brown, intercollegiate champion in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and R. E. Clark, who gained several points at Franklin Field two weeks ago, are counted on to place in the dashes.

For the weight events, Speers, who won fifth place in the intercollegiate hammer-throw, Sweet, Halsey and Thompson are the Tiger entries. The Princeton team is especially strong in the middle distance runs, with W. L. L. Adams, former interscholastic champion in the quarter and half-mile, W. L. Stevenson and F. L. Murray.
