ODDS & ENDS OF SPORT

It has been many a year since the colleges in general lost so many of their athletic stars at one graduation. Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Michigan all lose heavily, and the other colleges also suffer. The defeat of Peter Pan, the recognized 3-year-old champion of the year, and Philander by Frank GUI in the Coney Island Jockey Club stakes at Sheepshead Bay, was a great surprise to the public, which had backed both horses heavily, but neither finished in the money. Miss Evelyn Sears of Boston won the tepnls tournament at Philadelphia for the national championship. "Colin is' the best 2-year-old that has been to the races in this country in the last fifteen years, barring S.vsonby,” said James It. Keene after the Commando horse won the Great Trial stake* at Sheepshead. Princeton may send a crew to Poughkeepsie within two years' time. The Tigers are eager to be represented in the great annual regatta, ns rowing ia the only branch of athletics in which they do not compete.
