The classic intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson with California, Cornell. Syracuse, Columbia, Penn and the Navy is one of the coming' events. un Friday those time honored riv als, Yale and Harvard will clash in varsity, junior varsity and freshman races on the Thames. The representative flavor of the Poughkeepsie event, with the plucky California boys scheduled to row against the crews along the Atlantic seaboard with the lone exception of Princeton's crack '"B" varsity eigh. makes this race the most important cf the season from an all-around standpoint. Yale and Harvard, though neither has shown much class in races to date, will demand as much attention as ever because of the intense rivalry between them and the historic coloi of the contest. An angle of. the Dempsey-Carpen tier battle, the naming of a referee at Jersey -City, will attract attention oZ sportsmen this side of the Atlatnic. The matches for the international polo cup, which got underway today at Hurlingham with a brilliant victory f.?r the Americans will be continued on MVednesday and Saturday, if a third match is needed to determine the win ner. Last but by no means least the, classic international tennis champions at Wimbledon will hold a prominent place in the spotlight throughout the coming week. William T. Tilden, II., who won the Wimbledon singles last year will de fend his title. Mrs. Molla Mallory, America's woman tennis champion. will attempt to win honors in the wo men's singles and will pair with Miss Edith Sigourney in the doubles.

Several of his teeth were .knock ed out. The front axles of their car was broken, the steering gear demol ished and the radiator jnd engine bad ly-damaged.

In the 152nd lap misfortune befell Soules and tire trouble put him in the pits and behind. Hearne went into the lead and maintained it until the 170th lap when Sarles, by lightning driving, passed Hearne after gaining two laps and then was rever overtaken. The other drivers in the race, par tieularlv Tcm Alley and Eddie Miller, passed each other five times and during th remainder or tne race were not more than several car lengths apart.
