The score in the number of races won by each college in the Harvard-Yale senies is now even, and the vim and energy-which the candidates for the crew are putting in their work shows what importance they attach to the old race at New Haven.

For instance, if his line at its junction with the horizontal line leading from the weight, intersect the perpendicular line immediately under the figure 20, it would indicate that 80 per cent. of all those examined surpassed him in weight, while the complement of this, or 20 per cent. failed to surpass him. If, however, his line where it intersects the line of measurement, fall on the line at the right or left of one of the numbered perpendicular lines, add or subtract...
