Dr.. Peet sayi: Goa basis Of the
| pbysic,I chara cteristics OF the men
| who make up the three great Varsity
| crewB OF Yale, Harvard and Cornell,
| one can reach some interesting con.
| clusious. The Yale IN en- are the tall
est, with their average OF iull six
DOT to a man. Harvard Is but slightly
inferior. Cornell's five feet ten and q
| hall inchen are well over the man you
| meet on the street. But II Is another
| story when one considers the ages oil
the men. whereas the Yale men are
| the best calculated to look over the
/ shoulders of their fellows in a
crowd they are considered younger
| than either OF their rivale. In fact,
| the composite Yale man will not have
the first requisite OF voter for i've
eighihs u year. Harvard's average
man might have voted two iiiths OF q
year ago, while the shorter Cornell
man is fve.elghths OF year past his
2lst birthday. The question OF age
amounts to everything when one looks
at the weight of the men.
The Yale men are giants with their
sverrge OF 1881 pounds OF averdupois,
or 81 pounds mote per man than
| HErv ard. Cornell's men weigh almost
10 pounds less than her composite
| New Hsvsner. To make short re.
sumo, the Yale man has the average in
height ana weight, but suffers much In

have not had the same opportunity to

better condition than Ell Yale.
He Is only wee bit shorter and al.
