There are more ways than one OF
looking at things. Sympathetic con-
sideration of what college has to
Offer Is the way that the president OF
Washington and Jefferson College pre-
sents the value of winning athletic
teams to an institution. W. and j.
had a very successful football team
and every preparation is being made
to maintain the pace next year by the
team that is coached by the former
great Pennsylvania player, Bob Fol-
well. In fact, w. and j. aspires to ex-
tend its schedule and, If possible. TO
attract even wider attention. The
president Of the college Is highly In
favor of athletics OF all kinds and
lends every worthy effort to build up
and develop the athletic department
He does not overlook the advertising
value of athletic teams and says that
they cause the prospective students to
sympatheticaliy consider the. advan-
tages the college has to offer him.
Therefore, the more college builds
UP athletically the better chance 1t
has of adding to it's field of usefulness
to q large number Of young men

A group of former varsity football
players Of Harvard was arguing the
interesting point as to which requires
more nerve on the part of partici-
pants-football or baseball. One
would not think there would not be
a dissenting voice TO the opinion that
the gridiron sport requires far more
nerve. vet there were several who
strenuously debated this contention
holding that the mental strain was
greater upon the man who plays
baseball.
.'I played varsity baseball and var
sity football" said one man of the
group, land l want to tell you that
the only time ever felt inward ire
lnors was when stood at the plate
facing a pitcher who had a fast ball
There is something about the situa-
tion-or always was 10 me-which
made me feel my helplessness, made
me feel at the mercy OF the pitcher,
or rather at the mercy of his possible
bad aim. In football you were fight
ing against one man and he had
nothing to throw at YOU
IT feel the Same way" chimed In a
former varsity guard. When 1
came from prep school had a repu-
tation as a pitcher, but never tried
for the team because hadn't the
nerve to face the shoots OF varsity
twirlers." The curious thing is that
this man in his day was one OF the
most daring and rssourceful football
players in the game.

Richards a Cornell Phenon.

One of the trump cards In the pos
session of Jack Moakley, coach Of the
Cornell track team, for the intercolle-
giate championship meet next spring,
undoubtedly will be Alma Richards,
the raw-boned Utah schoolboy, who
astonished the athletic world In 1912
by capturing the high jump at the
Olympic games at Stockholm. Rich
ards entered Cornell In the fall of 1913
as a special student in the College of
Agriculture. AS he was a special stu
dent, he could not compete in the
games OF the freshman track team,
but this fall he entered as a regular
sophomore, and, assuming that he
passes his mid-year examinations, he
will be eligible to compete as mem
Der of the varsity track team next
spring.
Indications now are that by next
spring Richards will be one Of the
most prominent shotputters In the in
tercollegiate world. In the board track
meets so far he has never failed to put
the shot forty-f1ve feet. In fact, 1t is
said that he has put the shot better
than forty-six feet II he can ada
another foot by May he should be one
of the most formidable competitors
in the shotput at the intercollegiate
meet, and should stand chance of
winning first place in this event. II he
is able to duplicate his high Jump
performance he will have an even bet
ter chance of winning first place in
that event.
In addition, to being q real high
jumper and f1rst-class shotputter
Richards is also good In the broad
Jump. He has not done better than
q feet inches SO far. but II is not
impossible that he will reach the %
foot mark by the time the spring dual
meets begin.
