Rugby football has prevailed some

presents the case of those who favor
the "made-in-America" pastime, as
follows;
stanford 'profs' advocate athletics

FIGURES MAY DECIDE

New York. Dec 1.-THE question OF
football supremacy between rival
teams is likely to be decided by pro-
cess Of mathematical deductions in the
future. Rutgers has come to the fore
with the statement that its team
gained 2021 yards from 402 Scrim-
mage plays during the past season,
showing an average gain Of about five
Yards per play. Nebraska claims TO
