FOR COLLEGE TITLE

Fairly, ST. Thomas Has the
Strongest AL Round Team.
BY Gil.


Carleton finished at the head of the inter
collegiate league. with st. Thomas so close d
second as to all but pull ahead. The race In
the college league was not at all close at
any time in the except when ST. Thomas
lost to Carleton. The outcome OF the other
games almost foregone. conclusion. with
the exception of the game in which Manchester
climbed to third place on the shoulders OF
Hamline. q. -.s.... . 81 -~s. p
The teams in the league stand follows:
Carleton first: ST. Thomas. second; Shattuck.
third: Manchester fourth and Hamline. fifth.
Carleton won from all five of its opponents. St
Thomas lost 6ny to Carleton. Shattuck was de-
feated by the champions, and go badly used TIP
TINT it WAS forced to cancel its game with st.
Thomas Manchester lost to Carleton and Shat
tuck and cancelled its game with ST. Thomas
The championship team Is fairly heavy ana
welltrained aggregation, and Is fortunate In
having one or two exceptionally good men. It's
only close call in the st. Thomas game.
where it came within ace of being retired
from the RAGE. Only the quickness and presence
OF mind of Captain Lee who broke away for u
run on a tumble in the last five minutes OF
play, saved the Congrega tionalists from defeat.
Tie game had been close, but the advantage
had been entirely with the saints. who kept
the ball pretty constantly in the visitors terri.
tory, tho unable to score until the very last OF
the second half. %.t
St. Thomas Strongest.
St. Thomas, tho holding the second place in
the league. had the strongest team The only
oppolient who gave the saints any trouble worth
noticing was the Carleton bunch. and that was
clearly outplaycd and scored on an accident
rather than straight football The material
which reported to Coach Rogers was exception
ally fine. and his coaching developed it into
team which deserved. tho it did not. win the
championship. - T.
