II seems rather hard to see a list OF
names go out from old Pennsy without
those OF Kraenzlein, Grant, Orton and other
cracks among them. But these have had
their day, and new blood is gradually
being worked in in their stead, and while
the newcomers have not big records
and big achievements to back them, they
are very clever performers and may be
counted among the winners when the Of
fetal scorers make their announcements
The party sails from Boston early in
June. The men will also enter for the
English championships couple of weeks
after the coronation games. Westney will
then leave for Paris and Vienna. where he

Golden Gate landed. The rest of the
events were enough TO give Yale the cham
pionship as between the universities with
a score Of SO points to 41-6 points,
frsts only being counted.
The dual games are TO be made annual
events. and they are TO be OF a return ma

Georgetown and Pennsy.
For some reason or other Georgetown is
made the butt of charges at the hands of
other colleges which should more rigidly |
observe the rule about glass houses" and |
"stones" Why this sort OF thing is per- |
sisted in is hard to tell. The only excuse |
that can be guessed at is the regularity |
with which Georgetown defeats these con-
