be borne in mind earnestly, that the
intent of this article is not to take
anything away from Corbett, tongues

wisdom as an advisor, or to impugn
his motives in gratuitously volunteer

COLLEGE LEADERS IN
DIFFERENT SPORTS

r, The most unusual feature of this
| summary is the fact that the cham
pionships in the four major sports of
| football baseball, rowing and track
athletics are equally divided between
! four institutions-Yale, Pennsylvania
! Cornell and Harvard. Yale, by Win
ming the football title, carried off the
| most desirable honor of the year, for
any university could afford. athletic
/ ally speaking. to make a poor showing
! in everything else if it could but win
the football supremacy.
! Next to football the baseball title is
the most desired. There was no hard
and fast method by which to award
| this title. but it was the unanimous
opinion of the critics that it belonged
| to the University of Pennsylvania,
whose team easily defeated Yale, the
| only other aspirant for the title. and
also made a comparatively better show
of the other colleges.
No one disputed Cornells right to
rank at the top in rowing. The It'll
cans beat Harvard in their annual race
and then won a decisive victory in the
Poughkeepsie regatta. Neither Yale
nor Harvard was in the same class
with the Ithacans on the water. Hair
ward carried off the honors in track
and field athletics by a big margin and
thus won back an honor which the
Crimson had not had since 1901.
Keen Competition in Minor Sports.
There was keener competition in the
minor sports than has been known in
good many years. Not many seasons
ago it was the custom of the big uni
versities to try for all the major cham
pionships, but to side step the minor
activities unless they were especially
equipped in some particular sport. A
wonderful change has been wrought in
the attitude of all the big colleges to
the minor sports in recent years. Dur
ing 1909 there were twenty sports fos-
tered at the various universities, six
teen of them belonging to the class
usually regarded as the minors" What
is more significant still is the fact that
both Yale and Pennsylvania support
ed teams in every one of these sports

in turning out men who are well round

Der of triumphs in the less important
sports besides holding their own in the
majors
Columbia worked her way into a tie
with Cornell for third honors solely by
the showing she made in the minor
sports, for it was here that she scored
her three Championships. 1t is a sig
nificant fact that Columbia won the
championship in association football,
the sport which Columbia forced on her
students as substitute for the old

this sport during the fall and winter
she developed it to a point where she

time.
In only one sport was there a divi-

Here there are two associations, the
triangular, composed of Pennsylvania,
Cornell and Brown, and the quadran-
gular, made up of Yale, Harvard,

carried off the honors in the first, while
Yale and Harvard tied in the second.

OF all the reviews published at this
time of the world of sports for the year
1909 there is none more important than
that of intercollegiate athletics. The
natural period for reviewing the col
lege athletic year is at the end of the
academic term in June, but the pres
ent calendar year has seen enough new
DEVELOPMENTS to make it worth while
at the beginning of 1910.
For the academic year of 10000 the
University of Pennsylvania won the
greatest number of championships, with
Yale close second and Columbia
third. But when the year is measured
in the calendar form Yale succeeds in
supplanting Pennsylvania as the lead

field. where the Ellis were easily SUI

other Chicago youth, Charles w.
Evans, jr., regarded by many as the
coming player of the country. Evans,
it will be remembered, won the low
score medal in the qualifying round
of the amateur championship tourna-
ment after a play-off with Gardner and
T. NJ Sherman. The Edgewater lad
was eliminated from the championship
after a sensational match with Egan.
Evans also won the Western Gold as
ISOLATION title and open tournaments at
Edgewater and Onwentsia.
Third on the list comes Walter j.
Travis an erstwhile leader, who was
placed second a year ago. The Gar
den City mans competitive record this
year furnishes an interesting chapter
of successes and defeats. He began
brilliantly by regaining the Metropoli-
tan title, the tournament at ApaWamis
being productive of the most brilliant
golf of his career. Other early season
successes were earned at Atlantic City,
Garden City, Chevy Chase and Utica,
but thereafter Travis met with re-
verses. Besides losing in the national
championship, he was brushed aside at
Ekwanok. Brooklne and Atlantic City
and Lakewood, in the fall.
From the top to fourth position is the
fate of Jerome D. Travers, who began
disastrously in an attempt to capture
the golfing crown of Great Britain
While this really great golfer did little
to add to his reputation his stay
abroad. and for that matter when he
returned, vet it was plain to those
who saw him the few times he did
