Sept. 2!); Miss Mary Veager, Sept.U:
Harry Danvers, July 29; Lewis Me
Cusker, June 20. All of these have
scoied more than twenty-five points
and the lowest of theni can still be 11
factor when the scholarships me
awarded by adding a few moio points
to their M'otes. The last three are now
below thirty-third place, but can easily
win their way back In the next three
days If they set their mind to It.

lished this morning, filtered the con
test on June 19, being tlio eighty
seventh. He seoicd his Hist points on

Don C. Capwell oniolled in the con
test on May 29, being No. 7il to cuter.
Hehas left the city since Sept. 20,whleh

John Mnckie, of Providence, started
in early. Ills name being the second re
ceived in the contest. He had scond
29 points altogether up to Oct. li, but
since then has In ought in 12, and gives
