DR.. C. v. P. Young. Cornell Univer-
sity's famous gymnasium director, Is
another authority who says that he
has no data which would seem to In
dictate h a the college athletes as a
class die at IN early age. DR.. Young
contributes the following statement,
which Is as important as II 10 inter-
esting. concerning the Federal Gov
ernment's warning that champion
athletes die early.
while I know Of isolated cases
don't believe any such generalization
can be supported by facts. There are
some forms OF intercollegiate athletics,
such as basketball and the quarter and
half mile sprints in track. which to my
mind have little or nothing to COM
mend them as contributing to the
physical welfare Of the contestant, and
all the more strenuous forms of COM
petition need TO be carefully pre-
pared for and Injurious after eff
fects Just as carefully guarded
against by gradual readjustment to a
more ~sedentary manner Of living, but
assuming that the amount Of exercise
Is thus gradually decreased I believe
the weight OF testimony Is on the side
OF better health and longer life for the
athlete than for the non-athlete.
II will say, however. that | believe
the hest thing about the intercollegi-
ate athletic competition is the stlmu-
lus II affords to large numbers OF
students to participate In athletics and
attempt TO reach varsity standard. but
who never actually do enter Upon the
extreme form Of training and contest.
THE average man OF 80 might very
properly engage In almost any form
Of athletic competition, such as base

track events, except that ! would not

tention to encouraging athletic sports,
and II has developed a very large stan

to take his daily apportionment of

For example, DR.. w. @. Anderson.
professor and director Of the Yale
gymnasium, brings out the fact that
while up to the year 1906 the Yale
man who came to high honors In the
major sports In the last half century
has moro than the ordinary mans
share Of long life" yet during the
iast ten years, ls05-lS1b. there has
heen an increase In the death rate OF
athletes at Yale, especially among
the crew men. and, adds DR.. Anderson,
the findings are not satisfactory"
DR.. Anderson also Ia In doubt as to
whether the college athlete who lives
10 unusual old age does so because
he Is highly developed In athletic
sports or because Of the original
strength OF the man himself, the ath-
lete being a specially selected man

American youths.
On the other hand DR.. James A.
Kase, physical director at the Univer-
slty Of Indiana, says that In his opin-
ion the trouble with too many college
athletes 10 that when they go into
business or professional life they shut
down on the athletic training and
exercise which they had been keeping
up for several years previously and
that this sudden change OF a life from
hard physical work to one Of little or
no systematic exercise Is responsible
for the serious consequences which
follow In too many cases. This Ia his
