The plan which William A. Tilt, Colufnbla 2
baseball captain Of this season, attempted
to set going at the beginning oil TINS year.
to form a regular intercollegiate oaeenaI
section, fell through. However, those VINO
like to Keep records show that as almost
ali the colleges Of the so-oalled big Six"
have two games a season with one another
n Ia not hard to figure out a percentage
score. Yale and Princeton have done bet-
ter than the other members OF the imaginary
League. Cornell ascribes a poor showing
! TO light hitting and there IA small doubt that
| there is a great deal in that, too: Princeton
oot away with a great lead beating Harvard
and Pennsylvania once each ana .,orneli
twice. Yale beat Pennsylvania twice and
Columbia once. Columbia beat Pennsyl-
vnnia the only game that the New iorkers
won in their first four.

Columbia has vet to choose her track
athletic trainer for next season, but the
| almost unanimous opinion up on Morning
aide Heights ia that Josh Crooks should he
reengaged and nave a fair chance to snow
what he can do with the team. Everything
| considered, even the big scores rolled up by,
| Princeton and Pennsylvania in the dual
meets were not such terrific defeats: Few
trainers nave the disadvantages that crooks
struggled under and that he developeds uch
good men as link, Sanders, Greene, Brodix
| and a few others or got the rest into shape
was a remarkable feature. ,
To begin with, Crooks was not appointed
| to train the team until almostt the opening OF
the outdoo season. Then again tine uni
versity delayed with the fixing OF the south
Field track so that actually the Columbia
track team did not get even a month OF

under the circumstances. 1t IL small Won

Speaking Of athletic work in this city
a sort Of vague prediction made some
months ago in this column that the City
College Of New York ought to be heard
from in athletics when established on its
new site appears to have come true. The
C. C. N. Athletic Association got hold Of
Ernie Hjertberg, after the latter left Co
lumbia, and had him take charge Of the team
for a couple Of weeks. For the first time
in ten years c. C. N. Y. was victorious
in a dual meet with Rutgers and some
tered. The athletic idea is spreading
rapidly in quarters where once the boys
who went to the City College and did not
devote all their time to study were con-
sidered loafers. The East Side contributes
most boys to the City College, and the East
Side is getting most of the attention from
the persons who want TO establish athletic
sport in the settlement houses and public
parks.
