The lad is Peter Devine' the niue
Polish newsboy from the secoho

bor pete in his bouts at the Castle

bout that he had at the latter place,
he was inclined TO be a clown But
the clownish stuff Is a thing OF he

as good as any lad in weight IN these

line up about as follows;

4. Yale.
8. Harvard.
s. Princeton.
7. Pittsburgh.

Lafayette had a remarkable team
that went through the season unde-
feated. However it seems the east
ern experts are OF the opinion that
Lafayette didn't hew strictly 10 the
amateur standing that college ath-
ietes are supposed 70 have. For that
reason few OF the experts have given
Lafayette much consideration In
their ratings.
