Yale and Dartmouth are even up,
those who earned seven points :or
each team having left, but OF all the
colleges Yale suffers least, for she
loses only two first class men. while
she has the best foundation for a
squad Ior 1909. Harvard has lost
what made five points, but as they
were by no means first ratefs the
Crimson will never miss them. Mich

Of its six points. The two men
who made four points for Columbia
are at college again and Princeton
Syracuse and Swarthmore lost nothing
worth speaking OF.
The biggest slice of Pennsylvania
loss is in the sprints. where Cartmei
and Whitman rolled up fifteen points
between them. that is. Cartmel won
the 100 and 220. Whitman being third
and second respectively. To replace
this brace OF reliable point earners

not graduate until 1910, so there are
