Basketball players, statistics

Not the alcoholic variety — but
the kind that occurs when one’s
feet extend beyond the edge of
the bed.
Figures released by the U. S.

that the average adult American
male today is taller than his
father. In fact, in the 20-29 age
group, one out of every five
American males today is 6 feet
tall or taller. In 1900 less than
four percent of American men
measured even 6 feet.
Girls, too. have joined in the

American women are now at
