I'll say they were. For they got 80

points more and Adams, poor thing.

By all the rules and regulations, Wes-
ton received more points than Ath-
ena. Payne, who won the mile by
default, got only five points, while
according TO the Oregon rules he
should have had five, three and one
points, or nine. Besides this, Weston
had tennis entries and Adams and
Athena did not, which should garner
by default at least ten simoleous
figures. But alas, such little trifies
were overlooked and we are reported
to be second! The columns. accord
