BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Foot ball accomplished? Sure
it is! But there is nothing phenom
email about the situation; everything
in this age of pep and speed and
general expansion is being over
emphasized. Overemphasized is one
of the hallmarks of the era.
Why, for example. do more people
attend foot ball games now than,
say, &c years ago? She editor of
the Illinois Alumni News asks him
self this question, having first, as
it appears, taken the precaution to
equip himself with satisfactory an
sWer.
In 1900 he finds there was one
motor car for every 9,499 citizens
of this great Nation, and there were
10000 miles of surfaced roads.
In 1925 there was one automobile
for every Go persons and over half
a million miles of negotiable roads.
A large percentage of enthusiasts
who attend foot ball games these
DAYS drive to the stadiums over
roads that would have been impos-
sible &c years ago in the Fall
season.
Good Roads Help.
Figures from the Pennsylvania
Railroad show that nearly 10000
spectators of the PrincetonYa
game at Princeton last year were
transported i'm special trains. Since
the attendance at that game was
$4,000. it appears that considerably
more than half of the throng. $4,000
to be precise, came in motor cars.
The one factor that keeps down
attendance at the University of
Iowa field is the poor condition of
the highways in that section in the
Fall season. Given good roads, foot
ball will be accomplished at Iowa
City as elsewhere.
Again, the Illinois editor finds that
whereas II hours constituted the nor.
NAL working day, the day is now re.
duced to S and 8 hours, giving from
Is to 20 more hours for recreation
each week than in 1900.
The per capita wealth was then
$1.164.74; now, according to Babson,
il is $4,000. From all this may easily

MenIDer joint BasKet BAH CUMMIttee.
The way to learn to play basket ball
is to play it as much as possible. You
acquire A b Cs of basket ball by ac-
tual experience, as well as by reading
and listening.
In the first place Wen suppose you
have enough boys in your crowd for
two teams. Choose up sides and start
10 play. Soon you'll find out that
some boys are better suited to certain
positions than others, and that some
boys play together better than others.
Take combinations of players who
work well together and you have the
right foundation for a good basket ball
team. Team work is the most essen
tial of all basket ball requirements.
In foot ball it may be we'll to have
