In- ternational tennis, golf, yachting and track meets are already in the mak- ing; numerous intersectional football games have been carded and there will be a wider increase in entries for various national championships, both t’ numerically and geographically, than Hi fn the past. From all sections of the nation comes the report that interest in sport js steadily growing; the formation of new interscholastic and intercollegiate associations; wider participation in games; the development, physically, of the youth of the land and the be-| , lief that sport in the brondest appl!- cation of the word will be a growing factor in the history of America for @ecades to come. These reports are borne out tn the following forecasts and analyses prepared by prominent)" sport authorities for The Associated a ‘Tennis. continued Mr, watch Press: football will popularity ° games of the past 12 months ourts, golf courses, etc., the saving 2 health would come back to such a community many fold. Football. “The unprecedent Popularity of football in 1921 and the overwhelm. ing evidence that the coming season Will see the game reaching new rec ords in every department of the sport is a splendid tribute to the game and |‘ hose who play it." This statement was made by Walter Camp,_secretary of the Intercollegiate Football Rules ommittee, in a recent discussion of he prospects for sport for 1922. “It goes beyond that, however,” Camp, “for to my mind it is a clear indication of the appre- tation of physical fitness and the miration in which it fs held. The sons learned during the war great- ly increased this appreciation but the dmiration for and the desire to par- ticipate in clean sport {s inherent in the American people." “Football as played by the hun- reds of college teams throughout the country brings out these qualities in & manner equalled tn few other sports. The game even to the novice specta- tor is full of thrills rapidiy* increasing and with the technical knowl- age possessed by the thousands who the play I am certain that continue to increase tr for years to come.

If champions ould be forced to defend their titler against selected opponents at stated intervals thus giving worthy contend ers a chance to advance it would b another step in the improvement of boxing.” Track and Field Athletics. The coming year is expected to be one of great activity in college track and field athletics and sport of all classes, according to Gustavus T. Kirby, president of the Azerican Olympic committes, at the Antwerp international meet. Mr. Kirby states “College athictics recelved a splen: aid iepetus during the past year due in part to the visit of the Oxford. Cam- bridge universities track team last summer and the resultant interna tional intercollegiate meets at Boston and New York. Golf, tennis, small yacht racing and other forms of am ateur sport also figured in similar in ternational contests. “The 1922 schedule {s still in the making but already the University of Pennsylvania has announced that it will send a relay team to London for competition against the English unt- versities, A combined Oxford-Cam- bridge lacrosse team will tour this country next summer and British yachtsmen will race fer an interna- donal trophy in Long Island. These are, to my mind, but the forerunners of other and bigger events, in keep- ing with the spread of sport. “Last year was one of most remark- able popularity in all forms of athletic competition but I believe that the next few seasons will witness @ sport expension far more impressive; per- haps not as spectacular but certainly sane, I believe ideals will in general be higher; I believe there will be more honesty in amateur sport and for that matter more honesty in professional sport. I believe there will be more appreciation of the fact that while amateurism is good, honesty is better; that there {s no disgrace to be an honest professional. “I believe the popularity of sport s both permanent and progressive and due to comulative causes. For at least 25 years a number of us have been preaching at every opportunity the doctrine of gvod health and hap- pincss through sport, and IT honestly believe that this continued preaching, this sowing of the seeds of exercise, recreation, play, athletic competition, etc., has brought forth the harvest of last year and will continue to bring forth similar sples (iq harvests in to come. “Literal hundreds of thousands of boys have had athletics instilled into tions as the Public School Athletic leagues in the various cities, the Play- ground and Recreation association of America, the Community Service, Inc. the ¥.

Speaking for the motorboat enthus- fast, President A.

More additional races are scheduled already for the coming season than were held during, the past year. This is particularly true in the middle west where the enthusiasm over power boat racing seems to be more intense than in any part of the country, although there is evidence of increased inter- est on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
