Cornell won the intercollegiate track and field championship in the most sensational meet ever held in the history of this association. The Ithacans totaled 30 1-2 points, and were responsible for two of the five intercollegiate records broken, one a world record. If the Ithacans had won no other championship but this they would still have fame enough left for one year, but in addition to winning the honors on track and field the Ithacans made a clean sweep of the rowing championship. Not only did Coach Courtney's men defeat Harvard, Yale and Princeton in two different regattas...

...been a good many years since Yale failed to win the intercollegiate championship in football. This year the football honors go to Harvard in spite of the fact that Yale played Harvard a scoreless tie in the final match of the year. With the exception of Yale, Harvard did not meet a single team she could not defeat. Prior to this game of the year Yale had been defeated a number of times and produced an eleven which was distinctly below Yale standard. Until the slump of the Harvard team in the final game of the year the Crimson promised...
Harvard's second intercollegiate championship was that of lacrosse. This makes the second year in succession that the Crimson has won this honor. Unfortunately lacrosse is a game which is not played throughout the intercollegiate world, with the exception of Harvard, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and Swarthmore, there are no big institutions which play it. Eight or ten years ago the Intercollegiate League was in a flourishing condition, but the popularity of many other sports has caused it to be sidetracked...
