Why College Athletes *
s 5 - Come Very High.
It Takes Two Hundred Footvalls, Four Hundred Base~

and a Lot of Board and Traveling for a Season. =

positive argument of the majority among studenis and facultx.e:s:..
| Without entering into the discussion, one may contemplate Wlfifi'
m interest the new details concerning supplies and their coit foi
2 the athietics of a great Eastern university. The general repor
of the treasurer in this instance reminded the W;'gt?]r Ofltte:t
budget of some small city, considered as a nlat(er of fiscal maga u e.f bgut
forth receipts reaching up nearly to $lOO,OOO, with total expenditures ol a
the same imposing sum. ‘
Of the outlay, about two-thirds went for runll_ing expenses of the cEeWS
and the thres athletic teams, and included such items In rotund figu%%a fa%
$lO,OOO for board at “training tables,” $7.000 for sporting goods, $14,0 or
traveling, hotels and meals, $2,500 for “trophies,” and so on. g
Hers was what entered into consumption for the football squad u:utxg
a single season: 107 pairs ofsshoes, 29 silk ankle suppoiters, 170 undershirts,
167 under-jerseys, 20 vq??? jackets, 87 nose guards, 76 leather belts, 579 Pt?lr:
of “pants,” 70 sweate ‘:v;g’a_"z‘ghin guards, 17 headgears (le‘ather caps), :4,3. e; g;
and shoulder pads, sevéPal hundred shoe cleats, 10 “charley-horse” EUAres,.
15 silk knee-caps, 189 pairs of nose and 200 footballs. . : 4
It should be explained that the football squad at the university referred to
consists of about fifty men, including the large and well defined nucleus of
the “regular” eleven. Each one of the squad during the season averaged
about $B7 in his supply of sporting goods. ;
The smaller baseball squad averaged for the season almost $lOO per man
in consumption of sporting goods, with nearly 400 basehalls as a vivid item.
The high consumption of footballs connotes the fact tpat some 'fif'ty of
those ovoids, costing about $3 each, are distributed to candidates during the
spring and summer, partly for home practice. It appears th'at after a day or
two of uSe the ball has a tendency to grow “round” and lose its othodox shape.
) In catching punts the player can practice on the rounded ball only at some
risk of the deadly fumble of the new ball used in the match game, and thus
~a fresh ball must be substituted in practice as soon as the norm?l arc of the
- ovoid is impaired. Y .
| “Charley-norse guards” interprets itzelf as a peculiar stiff padd?d guarld
of the large frontal muscle of the thigh, which is very amgnable to the degp
“charley-horse” bruise, €o calldd. Tricky players in earlier football epochs
sometimes adopted a concealed metallic guard at that vu_lqerable spot.
The ample stock of 170 undershirts means that provision must be made
for frequent changes, to avoid an irritating eruption of the_s'kln.
A supply of 107 pairs of shoes, made to order, and retailing at about $8.50
a pair, certainly seems liberal on the face of the return. But the up—tq-date
i football man must hie him to a fresh pair at first symptom of rash 01"‘ bhstq;‘;
i and a wet day and match signifies that the shoes dry stiff and must be dis
carded by the wholesale, with most disastrous results to the football ex

H Geniuses lhe
» ?
ig o Marry!
By Nixola Greeley-=mith.
aCCORDING to a lecture delivered in Chicago by Mrs. Kate Upson
Clark, of New York, a genius should not marry. “Genius is 10-
sanity,” she declared. “In order to be a genius one lives most
d of ihe time in a world of deep emotions. It is hard for people
2‘,‘\,6”3: of artistic temperament to conform to ordinary rules. fThu;
OCBRdrY divorces, suicides, drunkenness and impulsive vices are oun
ameng people of genitis. The irrepressible temperament seems
to be absolutely necessary to art.” :
Undoubtedly, this is the greatest blow that has been struck at the In
stitution of matrimony in recent years. For, eliminating the genus genlu-::
from the list of possible sacrificers to Hymen, who or what will be left? No%
you, surely, gentle reader, not your brilliant cousin, your ta}lented b:'pther,
your wonderful nephew, nor your next door nzighbors, nor mine. 'l?or 1!? the
bell were to ring for the great international genius sweepstakes this minute
would we not all be ready to toe the line?
Coansidering the subject more seriously, how may a man or woman deter
mine—or other men and women determine for them—whether or not he or
she possesses the divine afflatus that, if Mrs. Clark and others before her are
to be believed, unfits one for the married state?
So far as the artistic temperament, which cannot conform to ordinary
rules, is concerned, more crimes have been committed in its name than in
that of all the seven deadly sins for which it exhibits such a marked proclivity.
If a man who can't play “The Campbells Are Coming” without making 'his
neighbors wish Fhat’they would come in a rush and get it over wants to elope
with his best friend’s wife, he suddenly remembers that he is a musician and
does it—ln the name of the artistic temperament.
