GOOD LUNGS AT YALE.
Present Freshnaa Class Superior to
Any of Recent Years.

Any of Recent Years
NEW HAVEN. Conn. Dec. 13.-Dr. Jay
W Seaver, director of the Yale gymna-
stun, makes an interesting statement
about the present freshman class at the
university.
He has just completed the measure
ments and the physical statistics of the
class, and says 1905 has a greater lung
capacity because fewer of its members
smoke, than the members OF any class
at Yale in recent years.
He says that the average lung capacity
of the class is 260 cubic inches. This is
a few inches more than the lung capacity
OF last years class
1t is probable that the number of men
using tobacco in the present freshman
class is 10 per cent smaller than for
many years The cI,rss contains more
athletes. and it is he'd that the fact
that many students give up smoking
when they begin to take up athletic train
ing. and in many cases do not bother to
resume smoking, is one of the reasons for
the smaIlness of the percentage of srnok-
ers.
