Springfield Claims Record
for Its Football Squad
Practiced Less and Played
More Than Other Colleges.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Dec 3f.--Spring-
field College challenges any educational
institution IN the United States TO pro-
duce record of as hard working a foot
ball squad as II had last fall.
The challenge isn't based on the fact
that the team participated In eleven
contests. although as a matter OF fact.
this was the heaviest schedule any team
in the East carried Harvard, the Army.
Colgate and West Virginia each tied
for the position os runner-up with ten
contests each Notre Dame Is the
oaly college in the country known to
have played as many games. II Is based
on the fact that students at Springfield
have many more hours devoted to reci-
tations than at other colleges, and upon
the fact that most OF the football play
ers arc forced to give up a lot OF time
TO earning their education.
why shouldn't Springfield College
where men are trained TO become
coaches and physical directors. turn out
varsity teams that can hold their own
with any Of the big colleges in the
East?" Is the question that has been
frequently thrust at the local college.
The feeling in college circles has been
that Springfield teams should be re-
garded almost In the same class as
professionals. because 80 many OF the
students are training for life work In
athletics. and because many of them
have had athletic experience at college
before entering Springfield.
To disprove such theories A. w. Jones,
graduate manager has worked up some
interesting statistics regarding last
1alrs team, indicating that Springfield
football players not only spend more
time In class rooms and doing work to
earn their way. but actually spend less
time practicing than probably any other
college team in tho country. with the
possible exception OF West Point
The twenty-one players on the foot
ball team who got into games this fall
spent a total OF 51g hours per week In
tho class rooms, according 10 MFR. Jones
figures. This means an average OF IS
hours per week 20 the man. whereas
the standard number OF hours for re-
citation IN most colleges Is about rs.
This, OF course. does not take into ac-
count the hours required for studying
70 prepare for the recitations
a total of 3.17s hours was devoted
by the same players 20 eainful pursuits
90 enable them to pay their college ex-
renses. Divided BY 81. this means an
average Of 151 hours 20 n man for the
eeason. or "a hours n week.

Baker Memorial Ice Rink
to Cost Quarter Million
Work Begun at Princeton Building Erected in Honor
of World War Hero-Voluntary Subscrip-
tons Meet Financial Needs.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PRINCETON, n. J., Dec. 31,-Plans for
the Hobart Baker Memorial Rink have
now been completed and a committee
to supervise construction and to
raise funds for the completion of the
building has been appointed. Through
the generosity of an anonymous donor
100000 is now available and construc-
ton on the rink already has been begun.
This important addition to the Princeton
athletic equipment will be erected in
memory of Hobart Amory Hare Baker
OF the class of 1914, recognized as the
best amateur hockey player In the
United States and one of Princeton 8
heroes in the world war.
The Baker memorial is to be OF Gothic
architecture of the traditional Princeton
collegiate type. The estimated cost Of
the plant is a quarter of million dol
lars. The rink will be erected at the
south end of Brokaw Field and will be
part of the general expansion of the
university campus toward the west and
the merging Of college territory with
that OF the Graduate School. The Moses
Taylor Pyne Hall, Henry W. Foulke
Hall and the 1904 Howard Henry Me-
mortal Dormitory are all now under
construction along University Place,
while plans for the Faculty Apartment
House have been formulated and it is
expected that construction will begin
shortly. The apartment house will stand
on the west side of University Place.
The present time marks the great
est period of Princeton expansion. for
in addition 20 these buildings the new
School of Architecture is nearing COM
p,etion and funds are available for the
fourth dormitory. Plans for the new
chapel have been drawn and bpilding
will be begun as soon as the fund is
raised. All these adhere to Princeton
Gothic tradition and promise to en-
hance materially Princeton's already
beautiful campus.
A Need Filled.
The skating rink will be of general
service to the university community and
will provide a much needed place for
the Princeton hockey team to practice.
On account of the uncertainty Of the
climate here the surface of Lake Car
negie never can be depended upon for
any prolonged period and the university
hockey players have been obliged to
seek the artificial rinks of Philadelphia
and New York for practice and games.
