REVIEW OF YEAR
ON CINDER PATH
YALE'S DEFEAT OF HARVARD
NOTEWORTHY FEATURE
cRIMsoN's STARS CAPTURE IN
TERCoLLEGlATE
Pennsylvania Starts Season in Poor
Shape, but Makes Great
Showing In Big
Meet

teams had a busy time this year and
all told engaged in about twenty dual
and two big meets. The New England
and intercollegiate champions attract
ed the most attention, as the pick of
the colleges of the east took part. The
New England event was not so classy
as the intercollegiate, but 1t had many
followers and gave a good idea cf how
the intercollegiates would turn out.
A noteworthy feature about the dual
meets was the defeat of Harvard by
Yale at New Haven by seven points.
1t was generally predicted after this
that Yale would win the big meet as
the Eli cinder artists had victories
over Princeton and Virginia to their
credit. Yale won the dual meet be-
cause the second string of men were
better than the crimson second string.
BY winning this meet the trophy came
into permanent possession of Yale, and
a new cup will be offered next year.
Harvard won the intercollegiate
meet on the ability of It's stars to make
good and win number of firsts. Yale
fell down bad here and lost by ten
points. In the preliminary season
Harvard won but one dual meet, and
this was against the New England
collegiate champions. Dartmouth won
the latter title and was outclassed by
the crimson runners.
Great Showing of Pennsy
PENNSYLVANIA started the season in
poor shape, but made a great showing
at the intercollegiates finishing third.
Mike Murphy had some very poor ma
terial, but was fortunate In having
two stars in PAUL and Kohn, and with
the others the red and blue nosed out
Cornell by two points for third place.
Penn engaged in two dual meets dur
ing the spring and won both, defeating
Columbia and the nevy.
Cornells showing at the intercol-
legiates was a disappointment to all
of it's followers The big red team was
much weaker than at the beginning of
the season. The ease with which Cor
nell defeated Princeton led its follow
ers to expect great things. But Cooke
did not vault up to form and the only
other men who made good were Tai
colt and Taylor.
Princeton, under the able guidance
of Al Copeland, scored but seven
points in the final meet. The work of
MCGEE, the distance runner was the
best OF the team, and he scored -four
of the seven points himself. Dawburn
did not do so well as expected, and
this kept down the Tiger score.
Columbia Nowhere
Columbia, as has been the custom
for the past year, was nowhere. The
blue and white has tried to turn out
good teams, and spent enough money
on coaches to attain this end, but the
material is sadly lacking. Babcock, a
new man. was the only one to score
good position.
Dartmouth had fairly good track
team and williams looked to be the
runner up I'm the New England cham
pionships, but was beaten out for the
place by Massachusetts Tech by three
points Bowdoin made the best show
nf ho NTainn COLLEGES DV scoring
2O1b points. liking fourth place in the
New England meet.
Illinois won the conference meet,
with Leland Stanford a close second.
In the New York state meet colgate
won the honors from Union, Hamil-
ton and Rochester. Ohio State univer-
sity won the Ohio conference meet and
Carlisle was victorious in the Pennsyl-
vania state collegiate meet.
Cross country running honors went
TO Cornell again, with Syracuse sec
ond Yale took part in two dual cross
country runs, with Harvard and Cor
nell. and was defeated in both. Car
Isle defeated Pennsylvania in dual
run at Philadelphia, taking the first
four places.
