After-Efects of Athletics;
Beneficial to Collegians

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 20. - In or
der to ascertain the after effects of
college athletics upon students, DR..
James Naismith, head of the Depart
ment of Physical Education at the
University of Kansas, has announced
statistics compiled after extended cor
respondence with former athletes. In
securing his figures, DIR. Naismith sent
his inquirers to football players on
teams prior to 1907, believing these
men should by this time be able to de-
tect any after-effects of the game.
The questions were sent to football
men as that game. he considered, is
the most violent of college sports.
TO the question What injuries did
you suffer while playing football? 2"
forty of the eighty-five replies stated
they had received none. The other
forty-flve answered that sprained
ankles, broken noses and sprained
knees were their common Affections
All but six stated they had completely
recovered from their injuries. None
was reported seriously incapacitated
from their participation in the game.
The valuation placed on the per-
sonal benefits received from the game
varied greatly although increased
physical development headed the list.
Among the other benefits derived
were: Self control. rapid Judgment,
wide acquaintanceship, determination
and courage,
