7 AWRENCE, Kans., February
10 P.-What a good heart
IL you must have to play the
strenuous indoor game Of
basket ball! However, I am con-
vinced the game is not too. stren-
uous for a normal, healthy boy.
Basket ball to a spectator seems
more strenuous than 1t actually
Is, because an observer naturally
follows the ball, which Is the
focus of activity.
Cabot, English physician, declares
athletes heart myth. He denies the
heart dilates after athletic contests and
marathon races. In such circumstances,
he insists. the x-ray shows it Is gen.
orally smaller than usual.
Hypertrophy, or enlarged heart. does
not result from muscular exertion, &C
cording to Cabot, no matter how great
and prolonged, when diseases haven't
affected the organ.
The cases of weak, rapid or irregular
heart action, occurring in adolescence
or later and wrongly supposed to be due
to athletics, are, in fact, cases Of
nervous heart or post-infectious weak
ness, accentuated often by the alarm
produced by a mistaken diagnosis Of
heart strain, dilation or athletes heart"
nR. JAMES NAISMITH, founder and
u originator of basket ball, has con-
Quoted some scientific experiments
which substantiate the above men
toned statements.
squad Of young men with no pre-
vious basket ball team experience was
chosen for the test. This group was
given the same daily fundamental drill
and team play that a group of varsity
players would receive for a period Of ID
weeks.
Daily tracings Of the heart by the
X-ray both before and after play. re-
vealed no increase in the size Of the
heart. Indeed, in some cases the size
showed decrease.
n SECOND interesting TEST OF q 0u-
IA ferent nature was made on four
high school teams entered In a
tournament to ascertain the actual
number of minutes that the average
high school basket ball player was in
motion during an entire game.
A separate watch was kept on each
Of the 20 boys in the games. Whenever
player stopped, the watch was stopped
and the count was resumed again when
the player resumed activity. The re-
suits of the investigation were as fol-
lows:
/. Average time elapsed for one 10
minute period of play, Is minutes
seconds.
2. Shortest time of activity for any
one player, minutes 80 seconds.
8. Longest time Of activity for any
one player, minutes 81 seconds.
4. Average time of activity for each
player, minutes % seconds.
S. Percentage of average activity Of
each player to the entire playing time.

Of The Hague, the League Of Nations
and the World Court
Living on what was regarded as
property practically owned by Zeus, the
EleanS were peaceful people-the
Spartans doing their fighting for them
but at the time of the twenty-eighth
Olmpiad they did have little trouble
with the PiSatans.
Pisa originally had managed the
Olympics, until Ellis, feeling more COM
petent to direct them, had taken over
control. This was for the public good,
but the unappreciative Pisatans, with
che assistance Of Pheidon Of Argus,
seized the administration Of this
twenty-eighth festival. That was as
far as they got.
Returning to power, the Justly indig-
nant Cleans declared that particular
set Of games null and void and erased
them from the official register. A lit
tie later they went over with the Spar
tans and destroyed Pisa, thus making
the country safe for peace.

A mn ARBOR, Mich, February 20.
IA William Hewitt, all-star full
back on the University of Mich
igan foot ball team, had a leather
medal yesterday. a voluntary award
by class mates as the originator Of
the best alibi for lack of prepared
ness in classroom work.
The class of Prof. Jesse S. Reeves,
of the economic department. had just
been informed that the group would
operate on the lines of the law de-
partment, and that If a student
should find himself unprepared for
recitation. he should say so in as
few words as possible.
Hewitt, called upon for recitation
by Prof. Reeves. began an answer.
Prof. Reeves showed deep disappoint-
ment.
Mr.. Hewitt, he said, II see you are
unprepared. Don't you remember we
are operating like the law depart
ment-and that if you are not pre-
pared. you should say so. and not
try to bluff"
"Yes," was Hewitt's medal winning
reply. but would that be like a

Varsity Quints Lose.
BY H. C. BYRD.

- ALLAUDETS basketers
and Maryland's mitr
" pushers hold forth in
their own fortresseS to-
night to beat back the sallies Of
Columbus University and North
Carolina State College.
These competitions mark the
close of Gallaudet's basket ball
schedule and of Maryland's box
ing season, except that Maryland
probably will have one man in
the Southern Conference tourna-
ment at Charlottesville next
week.
The basket ball game and the
boxing match begin at 8:l5.
The close of Gallaudet's court season
is about the same as the end OF Its
sother schedules-the finish Of a series
of courageous efforts against odds. Gal
laudet teams constantly are meeting
opponents that represent much larger
institutions, with far greater resources
in man and money power. and 1t Is an
1lrending surprise that they make as
GOOD records as they do. And they
could not, were it not for high group
morale and splendid individual loyalty
and courage.
Maryland will be without Jim Lougn-
ran. who has won his last two bouts
in the i65-pound class, in the match
with the Wolfpack. The remainder OF
the team probably will be the same as
that which defeated st. Johns in the
only match in which it has been VIC
! torious.
