ATHLETES No KEENER
THAN THOSE OF PAST

DR.. Joseph E. Raycrof.. Princeton 5
director of physical education. has
come to a defense of the athletes Of
the past in an article in the Daily
Princetonian. Asked to compare the
present-day athletes with those of the
golden 96's." the Princeton director
had this to say:
i do not think that in any sport
such as foot ball. the average man
of the present needs or possesses any
greater intellect than the players Of
twenty years ago. l played foot ball
myself thirty years ago and coache d
for several years after my under
graduate days were over. and 1 can
assure you that ] pondered as long
and as diligently over plays as any
captain or coach of the team in 1921
The athlete then had Just as quick
wits as any man today
However. DIR. Raycroft declares en-
phaticaliy that many more young men
in the twentieth century engage
actively in sports than was the case
in other years. Hence. he believes
that the modern boy is stronger and
healthier.

| GRAFTON with a view to the adoption

nations.
Announcement has been made by
the United States Tennis Association
that the ranking list for 1921 will
be made public Monday. January 2.
Twenty each of the man and woman
singles players. ten OF the leading
doubles teams and best Junior boy

Edmund Burke. former Western

the Junior indoor championship tour

A lighting system. the invention of
an English tennis player, by which
the game may be played in the open
air at any time of night. soon will
be available to the British public,
according to a London newspaper.
Tennis is very difficult game to be
played by artificial light. and practi-
cdIy all the systems lnat nave Dee1l
tried either have failed to meet the re-
quirements or have been too expensive.
Under the new system the great
drawback of intense reflection that
has proved the main fault in the
past is said to be removed and that
the ball can be seen perfectly
throughout its fight. Then. too. the
new system is said to be economical.
the cost of lighting a court being
less than % cents an hour.
1t IL very unlikely that Tilden will
defend his title of world champion at
Wimbledon, England, next June. He
has gone over and won two years in
succession, and says that in addition
to not having the time and where
withal to spare for the trip, he can
get all the tennis competition that is
desired in America.
1t is indicated that Watson WASH
burn will be placed at No in the
ranking. list of the Metropolitan Asso-
citation. He will be given precedence
over Vincent Richards, according to
report. but for what reason is not
made clear, but probably because the
youth did not compete in near so
many events in the sector as his more
veteran rival. The remainder of the
list goes like. this: g. S. Howard Vo-
