Two men whose replies (by re- quest) to our latest sports ques- tiOnnaire carry more than pass ing interest are H. O. F'ritz) Cris- | Ter, athletic director at the Uni versity of Minnesota, and Major Ralph Irvine Sasse, head football coach at West Point.
 They are in complete agreement as to Question No. 1-"What are the three most popular sports, talk ing playing activity as well as fan interest into consideration?"- each named football, baseball and golf Football tops the list, in the opinion of both. They have had smuch to do personally with this popularity.
 As to Question No. 2-"What sports involve the most skill, strength or stamina, strategy and k?"-they are in 50 per cent agreement.
 They concur in the belief that football requires the most strategy and that golf involves the most luck. Crisler, going into detail, specifics a 30 per cent chunk of strategy for the gridiron sport, 25 per cent factor of luck on the links.
 The ether i3 per cent in golf be- longs in the skill column, Crisler believes, but Sasse thinks there is a bigger percentage of skill in tennis than in any other sport.
 Wrestling is the majors nomin- ation for the sport calling for the most strength or stamina. Crisler 'hominates rowing and specifics 50 per cent in his ratings.
