| The Crimson beat Yale. Princeton and
Pennsylvania with ease. while the otner
colleges referred to did not show their
accustomed strength.
Competition in the minor sports re-
suited in several surprises. Basketball
was one in which Yale won for the first
time In years. The title of late years
has been monopolized by Columbia and
Cornell. with Pennsylvania an occasional
victor. Yale, however. had a wonderful
team and came through victorious in
one oDthe closest finishes seen in years
What distinguished the season was the
fact that the fight was between Yale.
Princeton. Columbia and Cornell up to
the very end.
In addition to winning in basketball.
Yale was supreme in golf and gymnas-
tics. The Ellis were highly pleased to
win in golf because they had been beaten
by Princeton the year before after q
straight run of nine victories. Not only
did Yale win the team trophy. but
Fracis Blossom won the individual title
for the Ellis. Yale has probably won
tho gymnastic title oftener than any
other team in the country.
Harvard continued her monopoly Of
hockey championship and won this title
from Princeton, whose team had inter-
rupted her string of victories the year
before. Harvard has been quite as reg
ularly the champion in tennis and an
nexed this title through the brilliant
work Of Williams and Harte.
Not in many years has the University
Of Pennsylvania occupied so low a rank
as this year. In all Of the major sports
the Quakcrs finished far In the rear. In
track athletics they tied for fourth. but
they were near the tail end OF the pro-
ccssion in the others. Haverford took
their only clean-cut championship away
from them by winning the soccer cham
pionship last Saturday. In swimming
Pennsylvania finished the season with
Yale and Columbia in a triple tie
The most distinguishing feature of the
year in intercollegiate sports was the
large number OF undergraduates who
participated. College authorities have
succeeded in making their sports so at
tractive that even in some of the big |
universities half the students are candi- |
dates for some team. Cornell holds the |
record for the largest squad in a single |
sport. The Ithacans had a total of |
nearly five hundred students who tried |
for CornclIs track team last spring.
There was the same interest in most of |
the other sports and the Cornell au-
thorities figured that more than $500
undergraduates were candidates for the
various teams. Is 1t any wonder that
Cornell is ranked So high?

THIS newspaper last week began the
publication by special arrange

mittee s plan, whereby he and other Eng
Iish socialists propose to make war inn
possible in future The Committee was
appointed by the Fabian Society, the
most influential organization of English
socialists, in which Mr.. Shaw is the lead

1t is proposed that the enactment of
this plan should be made part OF the

Note TO Article LEA.

II seems as if some such proviso as is here
tentatively suggested were required, If all
existing treaties and agreements are TO be
registered and made the basis for potential
legal proceedings before the international high
court. II has not always been customary in
treaties specifically TO repeal or abrOgate the
provisions OF former treaties; and there is
hardly ever any limit set TO their endurance.
There is no saying what weird cases might
not be founded on the various clauses Of the
Treaty of Westphalia Q64S), or on those OF
the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), NJ on one or
other OF the tens Of thousands Of uncancelled
documents. all solemnly signed and sealed,
and professedly part Of the public law" OF
Europe. that might be fshed up out Of the
chancelleries OF Europe for registration and
potential enforcement in the international

very first object OF all proposals of this ma
ture. Yet a vast number OF the existing
treaties are. In fact. wholly obsolete. Pro
