Nv FRANK G. MENKE

A tremendous increase in college en-
rollments has been noted in the past
few years
What's done it?
Football
There's the answer
The bewhiskered college proxies, as
well as those with unadorned chins,
perhaps will shrek to the highest
heavens that the gridiron game hasn't
been at all responsible; that it's all
due to the yearning of the youth of
the nation to imbibe higher learning.
But those who shrek such shrieks
shrek that which isn't true.
Football ever has been the out
standing college sport; it always at
tracted throngs. But in the last seven
or eight years-and especially in the
past two or three-enthusiasm over it
has reached point of frenzy with
the classes and the masses.
The attendance at the stellar com
bats in 1922 fractured all existing rec
ords. Everywhere-east, south, north
and west-the hoi polloi battered down
stadium bars each and every week to
get into the arenas.
Have Athletic Aspirations
What's the kick back on the ath
letic kids of the land?
Nothing more nor less than thai
they have become fired by the wild
ambition to be collegiate griddron he
roes. The only way they can do it Il
to go to college. And they've gone.
Countless thousands of other boys
not strong or powerful by nature wht
might have stopped imDibing educa
ton with graduation day in higf
schools, have decided that they too
wanted. to become collegians. They
realized they couldn't get into har
ness-couldn't fight physically for am
Alma Matters.
But they could belong to cheering
squads-join in jubilation over th'

RANDOM OF DETROIT
SETS HEART UPON
WINNING 1923 FLAG
tBy Associated Press)


DETROIT, Dec. 9.-Detroit baseball
fandom, which Loyalty has supported
the Detroit Tigers whether they were
up" or down" has set its heart on
an American League pennant for 1928.
The Tigers, coming from the cellar
position to third place in the 1922 race,
are expected by the fans to be strong
er in 1923 than they were this year.
Frank Navin, president of the club,
believes that such should be the case.
Poor pitching has been the down
fall of the Tigers for several years, in
the opinion of observers. Next sea-
son, Detroit will start with the best
string of hurlers of which the local
outfit has boosted in a number OF
years In speaking of his teams pros
poets, Mr.. Nayin said:
Bolster Pitching staff.
eve should have the best pitching
staff in the history of the club. Rip
Collins, whom we obtained from Bos-
ton for Harvard Ehmke and other play
ers will give us help where we need
it most. Sylvester Johnson, out rear
ly the entire season, due to injuries,
undoubtedly Will deliver. Herman
Pillette, one of the leading pitchers III
1922, and who with Johnson, was OBJ
tanned from the Pacific coast league,
will, with Collins, head our pitching
staff. 1t is possible that we will make
one or two deals this winter that will
give as even greater strength In the
box
THE team will be strengthened at
second base by the addition OF Del
Pratt. Blue is one of the best first
basemen in the game, and Rigney,
with but one year in the majors, al
ready is considered one of the best
shortstops. At third, we have Haney
and Jones, excellent felders. Jones,
left handed batsman, can alternate
with Haney, right handler.
'In Bassler, we have great catcher
and Woodall is close behind him. The
ability of the Detroit outfeld Is too
well known to need comment
"The club, with an even break
should do better next season than IN
1922, when we finished third.

so they've gone to college.
OF course, education-the higher

minds, too But it's the cinchiest bet
in the world that if it weren't for the

have gone TO college at all.
Value of Gridiron
So it can be seen that football has
value beyond that of enthusing and
enthralIing thousands of spectators;
a value greater than that of bringing
fame and glory to it's players. For it
