Honors Distributed.

Although Cornell won the greater
number of college sport champion
ships for the 1914 year, the hon
ors are unusually well divided says
the Seattle PI a different insti-
tuition carried off the laurel in each
of the four major sports. Seven
schools We're sharers in the thirteen
minor sport awards.
The Ithacans won four champion
ships outright and tied for a fifth.
Harvard comes second with three
championships. while Columbia is
third with two and tie for third
Yale and Princeton won two each
while Michigan and Pennsylvania
and New York university each Won Il
single title
Counting each sport as one point
the eight colleges which monopoliz-
ed honors in these seventeen sports
would stand as follows: Cornell. Y
Harvard, 3: Columbia 2b; Yale, 2:
Princeton. l Pennsylvania, l; Mich
iean. l: New York university. l.
TIE feature Of the year is not so
much the leadership of Cornell. for
the Ithacans have won the leading
intercollegiate honors a good many
times of late. 1t was the rather
unusual performance of Columbia
in winning the championship in
rowing and fencing and tying Cor
nell in basketball In addition to
this, Columbia had an unusually good
baseball team.
In only one of the seventeen sports
considered was there any difficulty
in deciding where the championship
honors belonged. This was in base
ball The fact that there is no in
tercollegiate baseball association. to-
eether with the fact that the SEIZED
ules are of unequal difficulty. makes
the award of first place on the dia
mond largely a matter of opinion.
In practically all of the other sports
there We're associations and inter
collegiate schedules which left no
doubt about the premier teams
There is no argument over the
championship in three of the major
sports-football, track and rowing
Harvard had easily the best foot
ball team in the East. and probably
the entire country. The Crimson
did not meet any of the Western
elevens, but none Of them from that
section showed strength comparable
to that of the Crimson
Harvard went through the season
without a defeat and won its cham
pionship games in decisive fashion,
while all of the Crimson's rivals had
tough shedding. Princeton looked
like contender until the Harvard
and Yale games.
Yale had very checkered career,
while Pennsylvania and Cornell We're
never in the running. Dartmouth
had a record which closely approach
ed that of Harvard until tNn final
game with the Carlisle Indians in
which the Redmen simply slaughter
ed the Green mountain collegians.
The football season was distin-
euished by the marvellous playing
of Brickley, of the Harvard team
This man had the unique distinc-
ton of scoring all of Harvard's points
against Princeton and Yale. He
beat Princeton 3 to with place
kick and then scored five times
with drop and placement kick
against Yale.
He made for himself the reputation
of being the greatest all-round play
err in football history, because. in
addition to the marvellous accuracy
of his goal kicking, he was the best
end runner and line plunger of the
year.
