who spends seven or eight hours day

The coordination between body and

couragement for the saying that the
brain must not develop at the expense
of the body" Like at Harvard and
Yale. teams are organized at the least
provocation. They represent every
branch of undergraduate activity ex-
cept the fraternity.
But these colleges are not alone in
encouraging a general participation In
athletics. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific, from the gulf to Canada the
value of base ball as a compelling
force to transfer the boys from the
grandstand to the diamond, from the
classroom to the open air. Is receiving
wider recognition each year. Figures
show that each year more undergrad
yates are INDUCING in sport, particu-
larly base ball. At the University Of
Missouri, aSide from the varsity, near
ly fifty teams were organized this
spring. So popular have these scrub
games become that the athletic assoc
citation has been requisitioned for more
diamonds. The girls at Missouri have
also formed mines and play in a league
on an athletic field of their own.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Regardless OF
the strong hold foot ball has on Amer
lean colleges, as testified by the big
crowds that witness the gridiron con-
ficts, base ball must not be considered
as a college sport far inferior to foot
ball. It's benefits exceed those derived
from the gridiron game, the health
scientists aver, because there are more
students for whom the game Is MT.
Be all arguments what they may, let's
glance at the influence and progress
of base ball in the American colleges
today.
In the first place, foot ball for many
years has had before it the prestige
of the college world. Its popularity
already is established. Collegiate base
ball, as a magnet for crowds and dol
lars. has many miles to travel before
it can approach its contemporary.
Nevertheless, base ball-scrub base
ball-as a means of bringing the stu
dents into actual touch with athletics,
has no equal. Reports from all over
the country show that it is bringing
about automa tically what athletic ad-
visers have been forcing on the stu
dents-a general participation IN
games. In all probability this alacrity
for the game is due to Its growing
popularity. Folks nowadays like to
play themselves. or watch their FRIENDS
play, thus accounting for poor attend
ance at the major league games.
Those who argue that base pail is
going to the bow-wows should visit
any suburban college or university IN
the country after classes on a spring
afternoon. The collegians play base
ball and understand it better than foot
ball. The students speak of it more
Complementary, In technical terms.
The first intimation as to what Har-
ward is doing base ballically comes
when one crosses the classic Charles
into Cambridge. The most prevalent
sounds are those peculiar to fungo
batting or a ball plunking into catch
er's mitt. Then comes that siren sound
that wall of delight following mt
or a run. Inside Soldiers Field a half
dozen diamonds support as many
games The scene reveals base ball in
every phase. At one end of the field
the varsity is practicing; but the other
games demand your attention.

Many Players at Harvard.

Although most of the mines are COM
posed of 4 promiscuous lot of players,
some perhaps playing for the first
time. their sense of sharp rivalry in
fuses the game with interest. Scrub
base ball at Harvard has been so thor
oughly organized that league en-
bodying twenty-five teams, with more
than 200 players, battles each year for
a trophy. At other times literary So
ciety, class, dormitory and fraternity
mines are engaged. The success of this
scheme is built on the temperament
Of the students; they are not willing
to idle away weeks of practice, but
want to get right into the game. The
terrors of a long training season, as in
foot ball, are unknown. Lack of floor
space prevents the expansion of basket
ball. Track. as recreation, is too
prosaic. So the overseer, whose object
in life is to interest the students in
outdoor exercise, seek salvation at the
altar of the great god, base ball.
So keen is their ambition to interest
every student in the game that the
Harvard authorities furnish the play
ing accouterments free of charge, and
made such rapid strides that the num-
Der of students taking it up far sur
passes the number who play foot ball.
OF course. the best playing material
in college is monopolized by the var
sity teams. But in a way this is an
advantage to the scrub teams. Many
students, timid over their ability to
play, feel more at liberty to get into
the game" And such students play
base ball for sheer pleasure; for their
love of care-free sport. 1t is such con-
tests that cannot help being TANNED
rivalry, those factors which give the
game its color.
