SUCCESSFUL ATHLETES
RANK HIGH AS SCHOLARS
Participation in Sports Does Not
Always Retard College Man
in Studies.
llNIHW1yY
TIME IS NOT OFTEN WASTED

Much of the criticism which is lev
elled at football, and other forms of
college athletics. takes the form Of
charges that students who attain pro-
0ciency i'm them do so at a sacrifice
IA their scholarship. 1t is insisted
that the time which is necessary for
the preparation for such sports and
the playing of them is just so much
time taken away from studies with
disastrous results to scholarship rat
ings.
II is safe to say that an investiga-
ton of such charges in almost any OF
the colleges and universities Of the
country would result i'm their refuta-
ton. says the Topeka State Journal
in discussing the matter editorially.
No doubt there are collegians who de-
vote considerable of their energies to
athletics who do not stard well in
their classes. But there are just as
MANY and more students who do not
take part in any kind &C athletic ac-
tivity whose scholarship ratings are
Just as low.
on the other hand the most cap
able men in the field OF college sport,
the ones who make the varsity teams
and pull down the athletic prizes
stand high in their classes. A con-
crete substantiation of this statement
IS 10 be found i'm n recent news dis
patch from Ithaca, n. Y. II tells that
among the successful Cornell athletes,
the ones who have won their coveted
&C" for athletic achievement, the
great majority of them have a better
average scholarship record than the
average non-athletlc student. Some
figures on the subject were presented
and they are particularly interesting.
They concern the members of the sem
ior class who are to graduate tllis
June. And i'm considering them it
might be well to bear i'm mind that
there are representatives of each of
the four classes on all of college ath-
letic squads.
Among the Cornell seniors given To
athletics, seven of the oarsmen had
averages in their studies of between
20 and so per cent. -Four had aver
ages between so and IS. With the
track athletes, seventeen averaged
between 20 and so and two stood above
So. In the football squad five of the
seniors averaged just below 20; sever
between 40 and so and two were rated
above so. Sixty per cent. is the pass
ing mark at Cornell and an average
Of so is considered very high
Similar conditions are to be found
undoubtedly in most of the other col
leges and universities i'm the country
despite the statements of a few biased
critics to the contrary.
