of the championship cup.
In consequence, both teams are
straining every nerve in a way none
of the other college squads can APP
preach. Both are going to have ex-
ceptionally good teams even for
them, and there appears no doubt
that first and second place rests be-
tween them.
Just now Penn looks shade the
stronger of the two on paper. but
this is largely because of the added
presence of Ted Meredith, who won
the quarter at the Stockholm Olym-
pic. and who will be eligible because
of being in his second year at Penn.
He is being counted on by the
Quakers not only for first in the
quarter. but for the same place in
the half mile. This is making a
mighty big request of one man, and
Ted may not be equal to the job.
As Penn has also lost Mercer, who
scored five points for them last yeag
in the broad jump, she may find it
difficult TO make as many points as
she did last year. However, the
loss of John p Jones by Cornell in
the mile will even up.
Word comes that Georgia has de-
feated Columbus in Columbus.

NO MORE MARRIAGE RISKS
Reformers Of Today Certainly Are

Under the microscope OF modern
criticism marriage seems to be honey
combed with false ideas and tyrannous
customs. So wrong Is 1t that we al
most doubt II any of our grandparents
could have been happy. and we sigh
with relief when we consider that at

molish the old-fashioned methods and
build in their place a scheme OF COM
nonsense marriage in which no sor-
row and regret can cloud the domestic
hearth.

marriage has been hitherto Just be-
cause a man and woman have been
attracted to one another they have
rushed bllndly into a lifelong partner
ship without any careful forethought
or inquiry.

sense. Already the new marriage

amined wedding has been celebrated
