a passion to win.
SO says Berr,T NJ. Whitaker, di-
rector of intramural sports at the
University of Texas. In fact
only voluntary athletes of com
petitive nature can inCuce the
American college student to take
exercise this coach believes. Ant
if he can't do something for thu
sake of winning he won't do j
at all.
with the exception Of the Aus
tralian," says Coach Whitaker,
"no. people take such JOY in play
ing to win. The Englishman likes
athletics, but he takes his eXer.
else in q leisurely manner for
the love of the sport. The Ger
mans and the Scandinavians love
gymnastic work. 1t was once at

but the attempt failed because Of
the nature of the people"
So. when it became obvious that

 Dr. A. J. Savard, who attended MT. Kingsbury, said this afternoon that. so far as he knows, there are no bones broken although the victim, who is at the New Britain General hospital, is suffering from shock. T should say that his condition is fav- orable," said Dr. Savard.
 Mir. Kingsbury was stepping from when he stumbled and crashed down. He was carrying his toolbsg at the time and it Is believed that this con- tributed to his fall.
 As he plunged toward the sidewalk, he struck 8 staging about 10 feet above the street, hts body bounding off and landing with B thud while many witnesses stood rooted to the spot with horror.
 John Caufield, William Avery and Martin Snyder, who are employed by the Rutherford company, rushed to Kingsbury side. They summoned Dr. Savard. who ordered the man taken to the hospital in the police ann ance.
 This is said to be Kingsbury third accident of this nature. During the construction of the Elks' building on Washington street he and several others were precipipated two stories when a staging gave way. He was also painfully hurt while in the em- ploy of the Torrington Building Co.
