UNIVERSITY FAVORITE GOAL OF PREP. SCHOOL ATHLETES

The great crop of athletes and students which will be sent to the University next fall from the leading preparatory schools of the country, and a comparison with the number entering Yale and Princeton from the same institutions is shown in the table below. As regards the number of Seniors who plan to enter with the class of 1920, the University is in the lead, with Yale a close second, and Princeton a poor third. In the total of letter men the lead is marked more strongly. Nearly twice as many expect to come to the University as are going to Yale; and three times as many as are going to Princeton.

The greatest single delegation will be from Country Day School, which will send all of its 24 graduates to the University. Of its 82 graduates, Exeter plans to send 50 to Cambridge, while Groton will enter 22 out of 33. Milton expects to send 20 men to the University next fall.

In compiling the figures presented below, letters were written to about forty-five schools and answers were received from twenty-nine of them as here given. The three questions asked each were as follows: Number of men in senior class going to the University, Yale and Princeton respectively; number of men in senior class who had won their letters, going to these three institutions; and college choice of major sport captains.

Major Captains Also Coming Here.

The choice of captains of major sport teams in preparatory schools is also overwhelming for the University. In next year's Freshman class there will be enough school football captains to compose a complete football team, with one substitute, providing each man could play a different position. There will also be eight baseball, five hockey, five crew, and four track captains. Yale will receive seven baseball, five football, three track, one hockey, and two crew captains, while Princeton gets three football, and only one each of baseball, crew, hockey and track captains.

Exeter will send the University, its 1916 baseball captain and its hockey captain, while to Yale will go the leaders of its 1915 baseball team, its football and its track team. Yale will only get Groton's crew captain, however, for the football and baseball captains will come here. Among the preparatory schools sending all their graduating athletic leaders here are Country Day, Middlesex, Milton, Noble and Greenough, Roxbury Latin, St. Mark's, St. Paul's, and Volkmann. Andover, Lawrenceville, and Mercersburg alone failed to turn in statistics.
