ATHLETES MORALS
Head Coach Biglow Says Col lege Men on Teams To-day
 Are Nearly All Religious.
SAY PRAYERS EACH NIGHT
Later the Followers of College Sports Succeed in Life as They Have
 on the Field.

Writing on tho high moral standard of college athletes Head Coach Big low of the Yale football team says.
 The big man at college today Is not the one who can drink everybody else under the table. The truest and strongest man Is not necessarily the one who follows the crowd and does what every other man thinks Is the best thing to do. Nowadays college morals arc on 0 higher plane. Some of the best men of the colleges are those who go in for sports, and fel- lows who does so must be clean man. An old-tlme follower of athletic sports who has followed every football game for the last twenty years, recently told me that he had discovered It to be q fact that no man who was good on the field was ever anything but good when he got off the field and entered his life work We who have watched football and the other branches of college sports have had reason to learn that the man on the eleven or on the track who has a good religious backing is the man in whom every one has confidence. You would be surprised to find how many athletes there are who at night say their prayers before they go to bed. Fully three quarters of the athletes know whose work amounts to some- thing, and in whom their team mates have implicit confidence, say their prayers whether they be alone or in training quarters with other men.
 Of the type of moral college athlete referred to there are no better exam ples than Head Coach Biglow and Tad Jones, who arc at present looking out for the Yale football squad.
