Michigan Thinks They Do.
DR.. G. A. May, the University Of
Michigan gymnasium director, who
will have charge of Michigan's first
strong man test" recently declared
that for decade the chest, shoulder
and arm development Of college stu
dents has been yearly decreasing.
He bases his assertion on observa-
tons extending over many years spent
as a university gymnasium instructor.
He holds the present craze for inter
collegiate athletics is responsible for
the decrease in the development
Enthusiasm for intercollegiate
sports is actually weakening college
men," says DR.. May. ''They come to
college with the sole intention Of max
ing a team. Their previous athletic
training has been connected with
teams.
ITO my way Of thinking, and l have
been engaged in the physical develop
ment of college men for many years,
every student should first prepare his
whole body by constant apparatus and
drill work Of the right sort during the
freshman year and when proportion
ately muscled give his attention to the
games which are used for intercolle-
giate contests"
DR.. May already has Il number of

scored within 500 points of the record.

BOYS BRIGADE ERRATIc.
Brattleboro High Developed Passing
Game and Won % to 10.

The Brattleboro high school basket
ball team had comparatively easy
time in defeating the Boys Brigade
team of Mortified in the Armory Sat
urdav afternoon. The score was % to
10. The first five minutes of the first
half were nip and tuck with no player
being able to locate the basket. After
that the Brattleboro boys got started
by reason of being able to obtain unob-
structed shots at the basket and before
the first period was half over had de-
veloped something of a passing game
that at times completely lost their op-
ponents. Very cratic shooting on the
part of the visitors, when they did have
Opportunities at the basket, cost them
many points.
The second period developed consid-
cradle roughness on both sides and
fouls We're called with greater frequen-
cy, although the speed of the game was
not nearly as fast as in the last of the
| first period The floor work of Win
chester, Harlow and Johnson for the
home team and of Smith and Richard

signal play Plumb had numerous easy
shots at the basket and in the last peri
cd worked this play for four of his
Fcounters. Harlow after the first few
minutes, was opposed by much larger
man, who, like the referee, was more
familiar with the old style of basketball
than with the modern interscholastit
rules, but Harlow did all of the scoring
