...Rockaway Hunting Club, Cedarhurst, Long Island, on Saturday was easily won by Yale with a score of 192 out of a possible 250. Princeton was second with 167, Harvard third with 146, and Pennsylvania fourth with 143. C. H. King, of Yale, won the cup offered for the high man with a score of 43 out of a possible 50.
