Most Remarkable Season Ever
Enjoyed by Players of
This Country.

NEW YORK, Dec. .23.-In reviewing
the season of 1916 the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association has
prepared data to show that the play
ing period of the past months was the
most remarkable in the history of the
court game in this country. The re-
port states, in part
The tournaments sanctioned by the
association showed an increase of
twenty-stx per cent in 1916 over 1915.
In 1915 the ranking committee exam
ined the records of . ,69T players, to de-
termtne who should go into the First
Ten. This year the figures of 1906
an increase of siXty-seven per cent.
When it is considered that these refer
only to players competing in tourna-
ments officially sanctioned and there
fore, take no account Of thousands
who enjoy the game but who do not go
in for tournament competition, the in
crease is noteworthy.

fall in all games also proved this con
clusively. This eleven scored 247
points to 100 by opponents. Its best
period was the fourth, where it total
ed seyenty-three to sixty-eight in the
first a period which had everything in
it's favor in the minor games, for after
it was over substitutions were fre-
quent. And also the last period was
its strongest defensive one, this in the
face OF the fact that the eleven aver
aged under 165 pounds.
Heavier Players Better.
Football men have long known that
superior weight is Of advantage to a
team. Even those who advocate the
forward pass us play likely to oft-
set this advantage cannot set aside
facts. The statistics of play in our big
games rather clearly shows what
weight advantage actually means, all
else being equal.
III a player weighing from ten to
twenty pounds less than another is
tackled when carrying the ball by the
heavier boy he Is thrown backwards
Fortunately the rules give him the
farthest point forward, so he does not
lose, ground after being tackled. But
when he tackles the heavier man In
turn the heavier man usually carries
forward his length, about two yards,
before he Is downed. There are excep-
lions to this, but all else but weight
being equal. that is the two players
having equal speed and otball knowl-
edge-this must invariably be true.
Big Loss to Team.

ating sport are perhaps greater than
anywhere else in the world. The Can
adams love OF coasting and Shedding
is very largely the result OF his envir-
onment Out at Montmorency Falls,
near here. there is bob-sIed track Of
glare ice that is one of the longest
and speediest in Canada and where
the narrow toboggans shoot down at
a speed that would be disastrous If
their riders were not such skilful pill
OTIS. Very often the most popular
coasting places are so narrow and so
highly polished and fast that the
danger OF injury is great should a
rider lose his head or the control OF
his toboggan. But of course little
risk only heightens the thrill and
makes The sport more popular.
