College Athletic Honors We'll Divided
No One College Holds Monopoly in Titles Yale Varsity Crew CIean-cut Winner On Water Harvard at Football; Cornell Leads Track and Baseball Hon. Shared by Several

CornelPs smashing victory on the Hudson last week brought to an end the college athletic year of 1914-16 with honors more evenly distributed than in a decade. Yale, with a mag nificent crew which boasted victories over Cornell, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Harvard, carried off premier row ing honors and for the first time in two years won championship in the major sport.
 Harysrd, by defeating Princeton and Tale in football and baseball, carried of the bulk of the glory among the bis varsity teams, while Cornell. re- markable strong in all sports, won the track and field championship games. Yale's victory on the water was as cleancut as Is possible under the pres- ent system of rowing among the col- leges. Yale did not defeat every crew over 8 four-mile route. but 1t did de- feat Harvard at four miles and pre- viously outrowed Cornell. Pennsylva- mia and Princeton at two miles.
 The suggestion has been made that Yale should be called the two-mile champion, because to give 1t greater honors would be equivalent to naming Ted Meredith the two-Inile running champion because he won the half seems to lie in the fact that in run ming other means are used to deter mine the titles, while in rowing cus- tom has grown into tradition that the winner of the preliminary races takes precedence if it wins over four miles,
 The base ball championship cannot be definitely fixed. Harvard, with team that Broke even with Brown, won two of three from Yale, beat Princeton three times running and won twenty-three games in twenty eight played deserves the honor, bh. TYrff Nd teams of the first class, with Syracuse not far behind.
 Cornell triumphs in the intercolle- giate track and field games, after des feating Harvard and Pennsylvania in dual meets, was so decisive as to leave no doubt about the overwhelming su- periority of the men from Ithaca. Cor nell almost doubled the score of the runner-up, and yet won the meet with only one first place, so well balanced was the team.
 Ted Meredith earned the individual honors by capturing the quarter and half mile runs. In the national relay carnival held at Franklin field in April Chicago captured the one mile title. Princeton the two and Cornell the four.
 Not less decisive than Cornelrs tri- umph on track and field was liar wards in football. The great Crimson machine wound up its season by de- featinY Yale by a score of 36 to O, the highest score ever made in a Yale Harvard game.
 In the minor sports the titles were we'll distributed. Cornell, as usual had little or no difficulty in running away from the field in the cross-coun- try run, while Haryard's hockey team was supreme. Yale for the first time in ten years won In basketball with a team that lost only two games of the ten played in the Intercollegiate

'98 DANCE WAS
 A BIG SUCCESS
Old Times and Sports Recalled at Eagle Hall Saturday Night when
 Valdez was Guest of Aerie.

The big crowd who attended the Eagles Old-Time dance at Eagle hall last Saturday evening were loath to quit even when the clocks announced that Sunday morning had arrived. The dance was a success in every way both financially and socially, as all dances given by the Valdez Aerie are.
 The purchasers of tickets were each given a stack of currency to play the games and try their luck at faro, rou- lette, black jack or craps. One did not require to be an old-timer to pick those who had played the games in the early days of the camp from the way they played the games Saturday.. The newcomers would cautiously place small wagers on the table while the old timers were demanding that the ceiling be raised in order that they might stack their currency on the tables.
 It is safe to say there were few old timers who failed to attend and as dancing was kept up while the games were running, plenty of amusement was afforded all.

 women are among the conspirators,
 and were arrested while plotting to dynamite the railroads.
 1 It is reported that the conspiracy was widespread and that its members had been successful in destroying sev- eral munition trains and otherwise hampering the military operations by supplying the Allies with information regarding the movements of the troops.
 More than fifty of the conspirators have been arrested, ten of whom were convicted, including Miss Edith Cavill, the English woman, and all were executed. Emperor William has pardoned three women who were connected with the conspiracy but is said to favor extreme punishment for the persons who have been plotting against German control in Belgium.
