LACIiQSSE HURTS i
^SEBALL GAME
Its Inpxpensiveness One
Reason for Increase.
That lacrosse Is rapidly forging to
the front as a leading sport la college
circles and in a number of cases
has already displaced baseball, U a
statement made by "'Ralph 6. Leonard,
assistant professor of physical education
at Pennsylvania s?fe college and
couch of the Nlttany lacrosse team.
No other sport has made such rapid |
frldeo amiine the collects In recent I
years, according to Leonard, who recently
completed a survey of the sport
for the annual meeting of the National
Collegiate Athletic association.
^ He points out tb?t almost thirty colleges
have taken up the sport during I
the past two yean and are now placing
It on an Intercollegiate basis, j
Among the Institutions that he mentions
are Dartmouth, Brown, Williams,
Onion, Lafayette. Carnegie Tech, Unl- i
verslty of Pittsburgh, University of J
Virginia, University of Tennessee and
Georgia Tech. During the more khan j
forty years since lacrosse was first es- J
tnhiuhed as a collesre sport In 1881, it I
Is the only sport that has not become
professionalised In America, points
out I-eonard.
Among the reasons advanced by the
Penn State mentor for tbe growing
popularity of the game are the follow
lng: The rules have been Improved
to the point where the game Is clean
and scientific. Because of Its bodily
contact, lacrosse appeals to the
American youth. It builds character,
one of the main purposes of physical ,
education and athletics. The game Is |
Inexpensive, being probably .10 . ner j
cent less costly than baseball or trafk. J
And, finally, although requiring a high j
degree of skill to play, the sport Is
easy to teach.
Visits of a combined Oxford-Cam- j
bridge team to this country three j
years ago and a return visit to Eng- j
land of a Syracuse team one year |
later have placed the game on an In- j
ternatlonal basis, says Leonard. The
Oxford-Cambridge team will play a
schedule of ten games In this country !
next spring as furtherance of this '
international relationship.

Briton Claims Money Is
Help to Us in Sports
"Although athletic victories cannot
be purchased like "old masters,''
money does certainly give the Americans.
a good start In sport." Lord
Wodehouse, International poloist and
sportsman, thus summed up American
ascendancy In sport.
"I do not mean to say that It Is
their weaKh which gives them their)
prowess In polo or any other sport." I
said Lord Wodehouse. "There Is no
getting away from the fact that they
re keen, afid seem to have a knack
of giving themselves as wholehearted
ly to any special line of sport as thev
do to the organisation of a factory.
"I mean that by reason of their
great wealth Americans are able to
buy the best Implements and the best
tuition.
"Another advantage that the Americans
have. In my opinion. Is the fact
that they are able to play all the yeur
round In one part of the country or
another."
