CRIMSON FOOTBALL SQUAD LARGER THAN OHIO STATE'S

12,000 Students Play on Some Kind of Team, However

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Figures recently published illustrate the "athletics for all" principle which underlies sport in western colleges. Ohio State University has a total enrolment of 8583, and when the number of women and Freshmen has been deducted this figure is considerably decreased. Yet nearly 12,000 students, or over ten times as many as here in the University, report annually in competition for Ohio State teams.

Although the total number of athletes in Ohio State University far exceeds that at Harvard, a comparison of individual sports affords unexpected information. A total of 133 men reported for University football last fall as against 126 in the western college, while 60 candidates for indoor track at Harvard are enormously outnumbered by the 2237 who engaged in active competition in that sport at Ohio University.
