...last three can hardly lay claim to championship honors, but they deserve to be ranked among the first seven. Syracuse, in view of the fact that it held Princeton 3 to 0, and defeated Michigan, Brown and Bucknell, has precedence in the last group, while Pittsburgh's victory Saturday by the score of 19 to 0 puts her ahead of Washington and Jefferson.

Colgate's victories over the Army and Yale merit her at least considerable attention. But the previous standing of both those elevens places Colgate below the first three.

...that two-page description, something of oriental color which fairly gives us a whiff of the distinctive odor of the bambo. Immediately one is reminded of Lafcadio Hearn. It is a pity that Mr. Lamont did not build his description about one of those many fascinating plots that claim Japan as their birthplace...
