Copyright. 1912, by The Prew petiaiee Co, (The New York Worl LL Burope ts Derinning to adopt American sports. A few years ago the word “sport’ was un- t known outside of England, and athletic Games played for pleasure were unheard of on the Continent. ‘Within the past three or four years France has gone wild with enthusiasm over the old English sports of boxing and Rugby foot! Boxing, in fact, har been introduced in ® number of countries, and even Russia has retently ‘opened its gates to the glove men. In France the big football matches draw crowds as gre in England—some- times as many a8 a hundred thousand Spectators attending a game. Now Sweden has sent representatives ‘ever here to study the American game of footbal. ‘They will see the Harvard- Yale struggle next Saturday. Sweden, after seeing our athletes at the recent Olympic Games in Stockholm, has come to the conclusion that the sports In- dulged in by American boys must be pretty good. So Sweden hopes to intro- duce the American game of football, preferring that livelier sport to the milder English game of Rugby. France is. about to have professtonal baseball. Richard Ki over professional p Frenchmen their first taste of the king Of professional games. Besides that and. in anticipation of Mr. Klegin’ coming, French athletic clubs have Organized an amateur baseball league. And this is being done befor em Kame ef baseball has been played The amateur ball vers, no doubt, will learn something | +Y the game from wat 1% Klegin'’s fessionals, In a year or #0 the whole | h nation wid be baseba!l mad. three or four years we'll have to el thelr best teams or drop that rather | Conceited claim that our interleague | meeting js for the “Champtonship of| the World!” It Was the work of the American ath.| Ietem at Athens in 18% that started the aihletic revival in Europe. England's Athletes never made the sport popular| all over Europe. ‘The other nations al- Ways looked upon England's penchant for athletics axa freak. They never| considered the possibility of beating, Bngland at her specialty, When the! cod old U. 8. came along and wiped | England from the athletic map, easily, | the Continental nations took up ath- Jetica, hoping to wet a crack at England themselves and, perhaps, to show the| Yankees that the old countries aren't) dead yet.

This ts a str argument for the bolding, of the lege &: in New rk. If it were only a question of mak- for the undergraduates of or the other {t would be a Aifferent matter, But the graduate fol- jowers of the sport greatly outnumber the undergraduates, and a majority of | the graduates live either in New York | City or other cities within easy reach of it on the main Ines of the big railroads, If New York had a great stadium bullt espectally to accommodate a hundred thousand spectators at these big gan it could come near acco: jew York could easily handle thi one-day rush of traffic, and tt would be no hardship for the students. As it is, when a game ts held in Princeton only the Princeton men are at home, Th Yale wtudents have to go to New York kely to be sidetracked somewhere, as on last Saturday, and miss at least a Scheduled to arrive with plenty » to spare, When the game ts held tn New Haven the arrangements are but Hittle ‘better.
