COLLEGE ATHLETICS ARE NOT INJURIOUS
Now any
9th 8 a. m.
Have No Permanent Ill Effects Says Dr. Naismith in Medical Times.
TELLS OF KANSAS ATHLETES
A Hundred Old-Timers Wrote, Defining Great Moral and Physical Benefit From Football
In a symposium on "The Effects of Athletics on Young Men," in the March number of the Medical Times, Dr. James Naismith, medical director of the University, has an article on "The After Effects of Athletics."
"When we consider the extreme delicacy of the human frame," says Dr. Naismith, "its fine adjustment to the purpose for which it was created, the unending work of some of the organs, the inability of certain muscles to stop and rest, we may well ask ourselves if it is possible for the body to stand the strain put upon it in some of our athletic contests.
"But our wonder at the possibility of its endurance does not answer the question nor are we justified in jumping at the conclusion that athletics are injurious.
"It is hardly fair to saddle on athletics many of the abuses that, are all too frequently associated with it as well as with most other events which bring men before the public. These men who have engaged in athletics to the extreme, and are still hale and hearty will be found to have avoided many of the excesses which, especially induce diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
PROHIBITION GOOD FOR ATHLETICS
"It may be that the fact that Kansas is a prohibition state modifies any seriously dangerous effect of strenuous exercises.
PROHIBITED GOOD FOR KANSAS
"In a question game, it all the money is played on the football teams of the University of Kansas prior to the year 1907, three questions were asked which may throw some light on the attitude of the living to the effects of the game on the constitution and the individual.
"To the question, 'What injuries did you receive while playing football?' the answers were as follows:
None. . . . .
"These do not represent all the injuries received by all the men of that time, but they were the ones that impressed the player at the time and could be recalled. In the final games played by the University of Kansas this year there was time taken out for a Kansas player only three times, and in two of these games time was taken out but once for injury to a player of either team.
RECOVERY FOUND TO BE GOOD
To the question as to what was the recovery from these injuries the answers were good, except:
Still feel some slight effects, . 3
Not completely recovered, . 3
Not completely recovered . . . . .
Of the three who felt slight results two of them were from bruised muscles in the thigh (Charley horse). The third was an injury to a muscle in the arm which necessitated the removal of the muscle. Of the three that were not completely recovered one was an injury to the neck and two of them were sprained knees.
To the question, "What benefits do you derive from the game?" the answer is

FUNNY CLOWNS WILL ANOTHER TRYOUT BE CIRCUS FEATURES FOR MAT ARTISTS
Also There Will Be a Good Old Fashioned Concert
Given
Two of the most important features of the indoor circus April 3 will be the superiority of the clown troupe and the superb concert which will be given immediately after the show. Under the direction of Charles Younggreen the ten clowns are being trained and the stunts that are being conceived will be worthy of annual fame. "Silvers" that famous grease paint artist so long with the "largest show on earth" will be depicted by able substitutes in his caricatures of a one man baseball game, the butterfly stunt and other laughable incidents that have long put circus lovers into paroxysms of mirth.
The "Siamese Twins" will put or a performance that can scarcely be equalled on the Orpheum circuit and the "hobo band" will give a serenade that will make future cab parties look to their laurels. To enumerate all the acts that will be put or for public approval that night by this conglomeration of the world's most famous jesters would be telling the story before it is read, but enough has been promised to answer an expression of approval from ever the most critical.
And then comes the concert. For forty-five minutes of good wholesome fun it is going to be hard to beat. It will consist of a five-aet production each act a separate and individual performance in itself. The University quartet will sing, the Lawrence symphony orchestra will render some of its best music Charles Younggreen will give his humorous interpretation of a modern drama and a minstrel show and clown act will bring the after show to a fitting close. At this will be the entire circus it is expected that a large crowd will attend and accommodations in the way of seats are being prepared to receive the largest part of those who will be in attendance at the big show.
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL

Five games have been arranged for the Harvard association football team. Candidates for the team will begin practice as soon as the ground permits.
Schedule of Five Contests For Followers of the Kicking

Will Meet, Big Leaguers
RAZORBACK-PIRATE GAME
In 1910 Arkansas was unable to score on Pittsburgh, the final score being 8 to 0. Last year the Razorbacks allowed the Pirates to pile up 12 points, but they managed to send two men across the plate and the U. of A. fans were well pleased.
New Men Have a Chance Meet the K. C. A. C Wrestlers Here
"Men who have not yet tried out for the wrestling team will be given a chance to show what they can do before the next meet which will probably be with the Kansas City Athletic Club the last of this month," said Coach Root.
"Our showing at the Kansas City Athletic Club tournament was such as to justify our holding a meet with them the latter part of this month on our own mats. This meet will be open to spectators and will probably be staged on mats in the center of the basket-ball court."
Coach Root thinks that with more practice and the experience gained in the K. C. A. C. tournament the men will be able to make the K. C. A. C. grapplers show their best twiw. Coach Root is also expecting to develop some comers from some of the men who were not able to come out in time for the elimination bouts from which the men for the K. C. A. C. tournament were picked
In the tournament at Kansas City the decisions were rendered on the showing of the men in time bouts The showing of the Kansans was such as to make the outcome of the bout to a finish doubtful.
HARVARD HAS 9 GAMES
Minnesota Not Given Place On The Crimson's Football Schedule
The announcement of the list was delayed until after the meeting of the football rules committee, Harvard not caring to tie itself to as difficult a schedule as she went through with a year ago if the rules were changed to make as hard a season as last inadvisable. All of Harvard's games this fall, with the exception of that with Yale, will be played in the Stadium. The schedule is as follows:
Nine games have been arranged for the Harvard football team for next fall, two changes in opponents having been made from the schedule of last season. The University of Maine succeeds Bates College in the opening game on Sept. 28, while Vanderbilt University of Tennessee will play in the Stadium on Nov. 9 replacing the Carlsleigh Indians following the game with Princeton. Vanderbelt has been seeking a date with Harvard for a couple of years and would have had a place on the Crimson schedule last fall, but for an unfortunate mixup in which Carlisle was concerned. All the other teams are the same that Harvard met last season.
Sept. 28—University of Maine at Cambridge
Oct. 5—Holy Cross, at Cambridge
Oct. 12—Williams, at Cambridge.
Oct. 19—Amherst, at Cambridge.
Oct. 26—Brown, at Cambridge.
Nov. 2—Princeton, at Cambridge
Nov. 8—Vanderbilt University,
at bridge
Nov. 16—Dartmouth, at Cam bridge.
FRESHMEN SHOULD WIN HANDICAP MEET
Nov. 23—Yale, at New Haven
Records May Be Broken In the Inter-Class Games Monday Night
Kennedy Plumbing Co., 937 Mass St. Phones 658—Adv.
THE ADMISSION WILL BE FREE
Record Breakers Are to be Awarded Silver Cups And All Winners Will Receive Medals.
Unless the dope has a terrible up set the freshmen will win the handicap met to be held in the gymnasium Monday night. The old Varsity point winners are scattered through the other classes and will divide several points among them that will cudown the scoring power. The freshies on the other hand will have a complete machine working to gether.
The entries made thus far by the first year men look as strong as any that have been filed with Manager Hamilton. Hurst will be a strong performer in the pole vault. He is already holder of the inter-scolastic record with a vault over elever feet. Van Dola in the mile is also expected to pick up points for the freshman, Hamill-Alsia is the northern scholastic record over the hurdles and will without doubt win easily.
Beside these men the fresher will introduce Butler and Coleman weight, and Jackson, Hilton, and Martin in the dashes. All these mer look like point winners.
Part of the events will be handcapped and others will be from the scratch. In the former class are the distances and the quarter. All the field events will be handicap affairs The dashes and the hurdles will be run from the scratch.
Medals will be given to the winners in all events and any recordbreaker who appears will be awarded a loving cup. The members of the winning class relay teams will receive gold medals.
It is expected that a couple University records will be shattered in the meet. Captain French has been jumping better than ever before this season and it may be that he will raise his own mark over the high bar. Murran has on several occasions come within five seconds of the University record in the two milk and it is thought that if he is pressed a little in his event he will win his letter Monday night.
Admission to the meet will be free.
MEMORIALS FOR JIM HOGAN
Yale Will Honor Her Former Foot-
ball Captain
Two memorials have been established in honor of James Hogan, the Yale football captain of seven years ago, who died suddenly in New York last year.

THE MOST ALERT PLAYER
Announcement is made by Harvard Crimson of the offer of a large silver cup by Charles Hamm, Jr., "11, to be awarded to that member of the 1912 baseball team who shows the most alertness throughout the season in taking advantage of all opportunities offered by Harvard's opponents while in the field. The cup is to be presented to the man who has the highest total number of points reckoned on the following basis, each achievement to count one point;
Cup to Harvard Diamond Star Who Takes Greatest Advantage of Opponents Mistakes
(1) Safe arrivals at first base (this includes bases on balls, hits and all other times the initial sack is reached).
(2) Sacrifice hits.
(4) Runs scored.
The cup is not necessarily to be awarded to the best hitter, or the best fielder, or the fastest runner but rather to the man who plays the hitting and running game combined to the best advantage of the team. Should any question arise regarding the award of the cup it is to be settled by a member of the advisory committee, the coach, and the donor.
Barrett Wendell, Jr., '02, in recognition of whose services to Harvard baseball the cup was named, played on four University baseball teams, each of which won the Yale series, and was captain in his senior year. He is at present on the graduate advisory committee.
Dr. Sexton, the coach, has approved of the method of giving the cup. It is now planned to give a trophy each year on the same scheme. Mr. Hann, the donor of this year's cup, played first base on the baseball team last spring and was captain of his freshman team in 1908.
