ANN ARBOR, Mich, October 13.--
Residents of the United States are be.
ginning at this time their greatest
period of concentration on any one
sport.
Continuing on to the end of No.
vember almost uncounted millions of
people will see a foot ball game at
some time during the week and other
untold millions will seek the accounts
Of the games in the newspapers or
listen to description of the contest by
radio. At the present time there are
more than 40 organizations and
groups of colleges that have teams in
active participation in foot ball
games. Almost every State also has
q high school organization or union.
These conferences and State organ.
izations have, helped to promote the
highest quality of competition and
have assisted in widening the appeal
Of the game by building up com.
mon interest. a common eligibility as
well as competitive possibilities. This
latter is especially true of the high
schools with their divisions according
10 their capabilities into "a" 3D."
&C. and ID classes,
Roots Of Other Games.
Why this intense interest in the
game:
Every nation has the songs and
games that typify the spirit and inter.
est of its people.
The English, pioneering in many of
the games that have been transplant.
cd to the United States, have their
form of foot ball and cricket. The
Americans, developing these games,
have their form of foot bah, base ball
and 'saslcet ball.
In many ways the games are SINH
lar; in one sense, however, they are
vastly different.
Any one who knows the English
temperament is not surprised that
cricket is one OF Brttain's sports. No
normal American. however, would go
to game Of cricket. stop for tea, Pc
turn to the game, pend a night in
slumber. ana so back the next day to
see the first batter put out.
IT is really true that we took Eng.
Hsh foot ball and cricket, added speed;
action and rules that assured a speedy
termination and developed our foot
bali and base ball. In doing so, games
that better suited the temperament Of
America we're developed. It Is possible
we have not developed bette games,
but cricket could not become the ma.
tional game OF America any more than
base ball could become the last wor 4
in sport in England. The spirit and
interest Of the people are suited by
different types OF games.
It seems strange how Americas
swfftest transportation and foot bali
have kept pace with each other. In
the early days Of foot ball, when "Old
S99" was setting records, the game
was so planned that a quick concen.
tration OF power was the objective.
When the automobile was in the pio.
neering stage and more than a mile
a minute became a possibility, the
game was opened up to make speed
end versatility of primary importance
instead Of power. Now with the air.
plane and it's two miles a minute,
greater speed, more varied versatility
II added to the game.
