UNIVERSITY LEADS COLLEGES

The University led in championships in Eastern intercollegiate athletics during the year of 1916 by winning four championships. Cornell and Princeton each have three to their credit and Yale and Pennsylvania two. Baseball is divided between the University, Tufts and Columbia. In percentages Columbia led with only one defeat but less victories than either of the other teams. They played neither Tufts nor the University. The latter team defeated Tufts, but lost a few more games. It is generally conceded, however, that the University had the championship nine last spring.

Individual championships in cross country, tennis, golf and fencing, were won by Yale and the University, the former winning cross-country and the latter the other three. J. W. Overton won the intercollegiate cross-country run, G. C. Caner '17 won tennis, J. W. Hubbell '17 won golf, and W. H. Russell '18 won the fencing title.
