RECORD NUMBER IN FALL SPORTS

According to final statistics, 1324 men have engaged in the different major and minor sports so far this year. This is an increase of 187 over last year's total of 1137. Track and lacrosse are the only sports, the numbers of which were less than last year; baseball and fencing drew about the same number of men, and all the other sports show gains of considerable size. Certain qualifications should be made in regard to the numbers on this list. The seasons for certain sports, particularly rowing and lacrosse, were shorter than most of the others, and in the case of rowing it is probable that a number of the men who did single sculling work also rowed in an eightoared shell. The number of men who reported for hockey, gymnasium work, wrestling and fencing, which are properly winter sports, is also given. Allowance must consequently be made in the total for a number of repetitions in cases where one man joined more than one squad. A greater number of Freshmen engaged in some form of athletic training than in any previous year. This was due in part to the various interdormitory contests, and in part to a wider interest in the minor sports.

The sport calling out the greatest number of men was football, with 346 names enrolled. This tremendous increase over last year's mark of 212 was due to the interdormitory and Haughton cup series. Rowing also has a large gain in numbers, figures in this sport showing an increase of 68. Track had 178 men out, hockey 151, and there were 147 men in the tennis tournaments and interclass matches.
