UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN JANUARY 8,1919. War Proves Stimulant To Football, Declares Expert Walter Camp "Game Will Continue as Long as Nature is Virile Enough to Fight." Walter Camp's annual review of the football season of 1918 appeared in Collier's for January 4. The dean of American football begins: "The football season of 1918 was one of the most peculiar in the whole history of the game, and yet it will stand as an epoch-making one in the progress of the sport. More football was played throughout the country than even in the palestiniest season of college football. The dissemination of the game, which started in 1917, continued with even more emphasis during 1918, due of course, to the war conditions which congregated large numbers of men in camps, cantonments, or stations. These men took up the sport with interest and enthusiasm." Mr. Camp then goes on to the game in the colleges, Princeton and Pittsburg, he says, turned out better teams than ever, while several of the universities produced as good teams as they ever had. The teams organized behind the lines in France are also mentioned. Of special interest was the make-up, of the Harvard Radio team. Two Missouri Valley men were mentioned, a K. U. man and a Washington University man, although the names were not given. "One interesting feature of the football season, particularly throughout the Middle West, was almost a trace of jealousy as to dates between service teams and contests of the S. A. T. C. . . But this jealousy did not hurt the game, . . . There never yet was a sport worthy the name for a hearty, normal American boy that did not have in it the gist of intense, soulful competition." "In October we heard some wails that the sport of football would be forgotten for the period of the war. Never was there a more foolish fear. Football is war on a mimic scale, and it will continue just as long as the nature is virile enough to fight. Influenza did more to knock it out than did the war, and by November there was more football played than ever in the old days when colleges monopolized the sport. "Teams by the thousand were at work in cantonment, camp, and station, and schedules were arranged to fill up doubly all the available days and playing fields. And when the commanders, either American or foreign, tell of the results of this sport upon the morale and fighting spirit of their men there, they are still vital to the war at the very outreaches of the war in this country. The entire teams of our leading universities rushed to the colors.

"The same courage, patience, and persistence with which they have developed their football attack were needed in the drill and preparation for war. The same discipline, co-ordination, and quick thinking which were required on the football field were demanded in the camps. And, best of all, that grand do-or-die spirit that holds the attack on the oneyard line was what made Chateau Thierry. "It was conclusively proved that there is no need for anyone to be apprehensive about football. As long as we are breeding youths with virile mind and body, youts to be the backbone of the nation, football will be played and played in deadly earnest. Every boy who is to become a real man in the light in which we now have learned to view the real man has bred in the very marrow of his bones the desire for personal physical combat with boys of his own ages on the athletic field, and no game so simulates the features of such personal combat as does the sport of football." practically all of the men picked for the first "ALL-AMERICA TEAM" are eastern men.
