Notes

Track. Whipped by Yale-Harvard last fortnight, the visiting Oxford-Cambridge team last week lost to Princeton-Cornell at Travers Island, N. Y. The Oxford-Cambridge athletes therefore lost both halves of their international meet. In three previous years they had won twice, tied once. Outstanding was the running and jumping of Princeton's Ben Hedges (two firsts, a second, a third).

Fine Fellows. If London's Daily Express has its way, British subjects will not enter the Olympics in 1932.* Britishers, said the Express last week, are tired of the Olympics, would be pleased to get out of them. As a substitute: "An Imperial Olympiad--confined to British subjects in the mother country, the dominions, the colonies and dependencies. That would be the best of fun and the best of sport, and we should all learn from them what fine fellows we are."/-

Weakfish. For hours one Luke Wilson fished from a pier at Ocean City, N. J., using shedder crab for bait. He caught no fish. In despair he picked up a red sponge, attached a piece to his line. Soon; he pulled in a three-pound weakfish.

* Last week Olympic Committees in Los Angeles, Calif., and Lake Placid, N. Y., were authorized to prepare for the 1932 games. Summer sports will be at Los Angeles, winter sports at Lake Placid.

/-Great Britain has never won the Olympic Games.
