ANN ARBoR, Mich. Dec. iS.-Not con-

during the last two months in an attempt
to pick cut the most perfect men in the

who approaches nearer TO physical per-
lection than does the young Cornhusksr.
The statement, moreover IL not based on
any mere idle guess, but on cold sordid
facts as shown by the anthropometric
chart which is used in recording the mes-
surements made at the gymnasium and
which was invented by DR.. May.
Berge's development is excellent even
to his lung capacity, the thing that fin
ally boosted him above his nearest COM
petitors. In fact, the next highest man
was larger than Berge In every respect
but fell down on that important measure
ment The red line on the chart of
BerEs nearly corresponds TO that on
the other chart until the point indicating
lung capacity IL reached where II branches
off several squares 10 the left and goes

earnest war will be waged. The Manu-
