Philadelphia, March 18.—Letters describing the college athletic situa- tion in England were given out today | by the authorities of the | of Pennsylvania who have been in | correspondence with English athletes with regard to their participation in | Pennsylvania’s annual carnival of re- lay races and special sports. The let- ters show that athletes at Oxford and Cambridge universities are at a stand- still with no immediate prospect of | resumption. Norman Tabor, the famous English | mile runner, who was a member of the Oxford team that won the four | mile relay race from Pennsylvania here last. year wrote: All Ahlebodied at Front. “It is indeed difficult to write ’cheerfuuy about athletic conditions here in England this year. Since this | present term began I have tried to [sea if I could not get a few men to but all the ablebodied Englishmen have left, and | the best I have been able to do is to get about four men to come down, . and these could scarcely be called | athletes. Thus you can see that condi- tions are pretty poor and it is impos- | sible to attempt any competition even | among the_various Oxford colleges. It is certainly to bad that we are unable | to send any representatives after you have so cordially invited us. Next year, if the war is over, as many think it will be, I hope we shall be | able to accept an invitation if one is | tendered to us. Jackson, Gaussen and Sproule are all still in England but -expect to go to the front about the | first of April.” Jackson, Gaussen and Sproule are the other Oxford runners who com- | peted here last year. 2,400 in Service. J. H. Gray, honorary treasurer of | Cambridge university athletic club, replying to the letter sent by Penn- i sylvania inviting Cambridge to com- pete in this year’s relays, wrote that all the members of the athletic com- mittee with the exception of himseif are away on military duty and that the university would not be able | carry out its promise to send a team to the relay games this year. He | further said: | “I wonder if you realize the posi- tion here. Out of 3,600 students, 2,- | 400 are away on service. There is not, I am proud to say, a single rupning | Blue left in Cambridge. They are i every one of them serving the coun- j try. There are no sports, all our contests with Oxford are abandoned. The very running ground is in use by the troops in training here.” ANNUAL BALL. | Affair Given Last Night By A. O, H. : ‘ Draws Large Crowd. The sixth annual ball of the Rev. W. A, Harty branch, A.
