players will have no easy task to re

Since the majority of the nations

which to forecast the outcome of the

Upon this hypothesis It Is fair to as

Readjust Scoring of Points.
The action of the Intercollegiate A.
A. to readjust the scoring of points in
the annual field and track champion
ship seems to meet with the approval
of the collegiate world. This decision
to score the fifth man in an event will
make th passing of the day when a
college equipped with a few phenoms
can win the annual championship anil
will in a great measure help track and
field athletics in general by affording
more men a chance to score.
Pennsylvania will be the greatest
sufferer by this new-made rule as the
Quakers retain more first place men
than any other college in the country.
But the rule was not aimed at the
Philadelphians, it was made for the
good of track and field athletics as a
