CO1LEGE games are seldom If ever
postponed on account of incle-
ment weather. This year at the
Army Illinois game heavy rain fell
throughout, and yet 5000 people pur-
chased tickets between IL and
o'clock the day Of the game, and these
5000 ticket purchasers, along with
some $4,000 others, sat for two hours
in the driving rain watching the
game.
A capacity crowd of 10000 saw the
Arny-Navy game, regardless of ter
rife downpour. No one who is con-
versant with the facts will suggest
that college foot ball has lost its hold
on the American people.
Basket ball for a number of years
has been steadily increasing both
from the standpoint Of player par
ticipation and attendance at the
games. Last year the attendance at
college basket ball was fully 10 per
cent ahead of the attendance in 1888.
1t may be predicted that 1885 will be
the peak year to date in this indoor
sport.
The Olympic stars in track and
field are now being developed in the
schools and colleges. Each year the
records fall. Last June the N. c. A. A.
track meet in Los Angeles brought
together an unusually fine class of
track and field stars and at this
meet the gross receipts from ticket
sales was $32,398.64.

are not primarily college sports.
Tennis and golf are growing very rap
idly in the colleges, both as intercol-
leRiate and intramural sports. Swim
ming, likewise, has become recognized
as major intercollegiate sport
activity.
It is safe to state that more col
1ese students play tennis annually
than take part in foot ball. Coli,
tennis, swimming, boxing and wres-
Ting are on the increase as judged
by the numbers compe ling, and 1t Is
safe to assume that they will con-
tinue to grow in the institutions OF
higher learning.
Foot Ball Growth Steady.
WYE USUALLY think of foot ball,
wv basket ball. base ball and
track as the major college
sports. More boys play foot ball each
wear In the schools and colleges than
did the year before. In 1885 we
should see an increase in player par
ticipation in this great Autumn sport.
From the standpoint OF public in
terest, college foot ball remains the
great American game. The colleges
for the most part limit their sched-
ules to eight games per season and
vet the attendance annually at school
and college foot ball games, even with
limited schedules, bulks larger than
the attendance at any other games.
This year, for instance, a number OF
university teams attracted season to-
tails of over 10000 spectators. In the
Big Ten Conference, although some
of the universities are located in
comparatively small cities, yet well
over a million people this last year
witnessed the games played by these
10 institutions.
There are more than go college con-
ferences in the United States. 1t Is
estimated that the attendance this
year at college foot ball games was at
least Is per cent ahead Of the attend
ance In 1888.

the Olympic games less than two
years away interest in this sport
should continue to increase through
out 1885.
College base ball in 1884 staged
something of a comeback. There is
no game that the boys really enjoy
playing more than base ball. Dur
ing the depression it has been diff
ficult indeed for the educational in
stitutions to finance this game and
yet the players in the athletic de-
partments have carried on and 1895
should be a better year.
All in all college athletics rest on
a firm foundation. They are admin
istered by men who have the in
terests Of the boys at heart. They
are supported by the fathers and
mothers of the boys who play and
there is every reason to believe that
school and college athletics will i'm
prove year by year, both in quantity
and quality.
