was second, winning 8 games and los
ing 4, Princeton third with 8 IL vic
tories and s IL defeats, and Yale last
with 1 victory and IL defeats. In the
three cornered tournament, Pennsylva-
MIA and Brown tied for first place,
with Cornell poor third.
To return to tests of skill in which
the mental did not overshadow the
physical quite so much as In chess,
there came an upset in one of the lead
ing winter sports. Neither Harvard
nor Yale, between whom the hockey
honors were supposed to lie, won the
championship in the fast and flying
battles on the ice. Princeton's valor
and speed on the steel runners were
too much for the Crimson and the
Blue, and the Tigers for the first
time won first place. They came
through the season with a clean rec
ord Of victories, defeating Harvard,
Yale, Dartmouth newcomer-and
Columbia. Harvard finished second,
Dartmouth did well for the first time
out by finishing third Yale could not
do better than fourth, and Columbia
was last.
In the tussle for the basketball prize
Columbia was forced to accept second
place, finishing just behind Yale, who
landed and lost one; Columbia won
eight and lost two; Pennsylvania, who
was third, won six and lost four; Har-
| Vard mbo O,oc fourth uyoy 4o,,r ood
lost six; Princeton, who was fifth, won
two and lost eight, and Cornell who
was sixth, won one and lost nine in
the championship series. The strain.
ed relations between Pennsylvania and
Harvard had a bearing on the basket
ball race, the teams of these two uni.
versities not meeting each other, each
FORGETTING to the other. Williams col
| lege won the New England basketball
| championship.
The intercollegiate wrestling tourna-
ment was held in Philadelphia -Four
I colleges took part. They were Yale
Princeton, Pennsylvania anod Colum-
bia. This was another sport in which
rivals had to bow to the prowess. Of
Yale The New Haven grapplers wor
four Of the seven classes, Columbia
Won two and Pennsylvania one There
was an active season in swimming In
which Yale won a goodly share of the
events, with the amphibious repre-.
sentatives of Old Nassau also making
a strong showing. Shortly after tlft
swimming season was over the feneing
championships were held in New York
AS was the case the year before, the
cadets of West Point and Annapolis
were the leaders with the foils, which
was not uniting, inasmuch as they
are expected to be proficient in martial
accomplishments, The fencing cham.
| pionship passed from West Point t.
Annapolis. Cornell did the best among
the college teams entered, fighting out
the finals with the midshipmen and sol
diers, Yale, who prevouslyt had moi
done well in fencing, was a creditable
I fourth. The other competitors were
Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania ant
Columbia.
In no sport of the year was there
higher class material than In track and
field games. The material was excep-
ticrally good; the competitions furnish,
ed stirring contests. The relay carnival
in Philadelphia on April n, promoted
by the University of Pennsylvania, wa.
one Of the classiest meetings of the
whole season OF college competition
Westerners again were prominent IL
relay running. Michigan won the four
mile race, the chief event on the card
and Pennsylvania was second. Chicago
won the one mile race and again Penn
sylvania was second. Columbia shared
in the distribution of the plums by rae
ing away with first place in the tw
mile relay, in which Dartmouth wa
second, The one mile freshman race wa,
won by Pennsylvania, with Princeton
second.

The last dual meet on the long pro

to end. Harvard won from her ancien
rival by a score of IS 1-2 points to 4

Then came the richest dish of tn

place, The Ithacans were beaten b
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Yale. TIL

in Cartmen, Haskins and Taylor thre
nvlncible runners, who piled up tn
