They have agreed with him that in
the course of n hard game each foot
ball player loses from six to four
teen pounds. The contention is that
all of this lost weight vanishes in
perspiration, which is almost entirely
absorbed by the players uniforms.
After half time the player goes
back into the game with his weight
considerably reduced. but with sew
eral pounds added to the uniform
which he must carry.
An illustration OF tho dragging
effect Of this weight is given in the
case of race horses, which, carrying &
two or three pounds less weight. are

In this connection Smith points
out that a foot ball man, already
muscle weary, weakened by weight

form were given to him to wear in
the second half. 1T certainly sounds
reasonable.
