SEASONS LAURELS

New York. Dec. 3, (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-Buffeted a bit and
| forced to give ground on some of the
more important sectors of the seast-
| ern intercollegiate battlefront the
| Yale Bulldog retains its grip on the
major share of athletic laurels for
| 1925 only by the narrowest of mar
| gins.
! With this years campaign in college
ranks now virtually at an end, the
I summary Of competition in 10
branches of sport in which rs titles
| were distributed shows Yale to be
closely pressed by the naval acad-
! envy for all around honors. This sum-
mary shows the Ellis either holding
outright or sharing in the possession
of seven championships, one less
than the total corralled by the Blue
a year ago while the Navy is right
behind with a grasp on six titles.
Yales heaviest setbacks this Jear,
| came in two major sports, track and
| football, in addition to which individ-
ual titles also were lost in golf and
| cross country running. The Eli
track forces yielded the Intercolle-
| giate A. A. A. A. crown to the south
ern Californians, while the grldlron
team. beaten by Penn and Princeton
and tied by Harvard, dropped from
the pinnacle 1t had held for two pre-
vious years.
| To offset these reverses, however.
| YaIe's rowing machine kept up its
| victorious streak while the Eli swim
! ming and golf teams regained cham
pionship heights after years lapse.
| Hockey, indoor polo, and water poio
honors also were gathered again
while the Eli swordsmen shared
fencing laurels with the navy.
The unusual success OF lnVauins
talent from the other sections or the
/ country figured somewhat IN the IN
roads made upon Yale's leadership.

/ southern California to replace the
Ellis as track champions. Fred Lam

south to take the golf crown when
