NEW RULE TO AFFECT SCORING

Since the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America has added a fifth place to every event in the annual track and field championships to be held in the Stadium on Friday and Saturday, and to count the points 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the scoring ability of the veterans now in college is completely changed. The table below shows how the colleges compare, using the new scoring rules. This also takes into consideration the men who actually finished fifth last year in all but the two hurdle races, in which only four men were allowed to start in the final heats. According to this table, Harvard would have won the meet from Pennsylvania by the score of 29 to 28, though possibly counting a fifth man in the two hurdle races might have enabled Pennsylvania still to tie or defeat the University.

The following table shows how the point-winning colleges of 1913 did finish, how they would have finished, the points they have actually lost and those they have retained based upon a fifth man in all events but the hurdles and the new scoring rule of 5, points for a first, 4 for a second, and 3, 2, and 1 for third, fourth, or fifth:   1913  *Point  *Points  *Points College  Score  Value  Lost  Retained Harvard,  21 1-2  29  10  19 Pennsylvania,  24  28  5  23 Michigan,  20  27  11  16 Cornell,  17 1-2  26 1-2  18  8 1-2 Dartmouth,  14  19 1-2  9 1-2  10 Yale,  11  14 1-2  3 1-2  11 California,  10  12 1-2  8 1-2  4 Wesleyan,  10  10  10  0 Princeton,  6  8  2  6 Columbia,  4  6  0  6 Brown,  3  5  4  1 Syracuse,  1  3  3  0 Penn.

Strength of 1916 Athletes.

The new scoring rule is attracting more attention to the members of last year's freshman classes who may be point-winners this year. The following table gives an idea of the strength which last year's freshman teams contribute to Harvard, Pennsylvania, Yale, Cornell, Princeton, and Dartmouth. The best records of the men during 1913 are given:
