IMPORTANT STATISTICS, SGtatistios made good in the wer. Statistics are still making good fn peace, At @ time when normalcy is all the rage ft ts surprising statistics do so well. Statistica is a business with a heavy turnover, A single statistic, for instance, is worthless, like @ hotel reservation in Cincinnatl, Even Roger Babson, the daddy of dizzy figures, oom- menced his career with more than one statistic. Mr, Babson, they say, started business with one table and some charts, Later he added an- other tabie and some chairs, But statistics are so quatnt! They prove so many things you can’t Prove any other way, Thus, if there were three hootoh shops on Forty- fecond Street, two on Forty-third Street and one on Forty-fourth Btreet, statistics would prove that Forty-fitth Street was dry. And _ that ina great deal to prove, Nowadays no big football match can be pulled without team sta- tistics in the daily papers, And they are exceedingly helpful, too! Ob, horribly #o! For instance, tf Harvard bas a backfield of Mo- Carthy, Muldoon and Malevinsky, statistics would prove that Har- Yard's offense must perform without the aid of a Harvard accent, Which ts some handicap, especially for the Yale coadhing staff. ¥ep, statistics prove many, many things that are helpful. They even show that whiskers are breeding places for germa, although Daddy Babson continues to wear ‘em.

In the first place, more games are scheduled, more teams are In the felt. There ts more intersee- tional play. There ia teas preponder- ance of power in a few major teams, and there has been & wholesale shift- ing of coaches, all of which prompts an iner om ee general tnterest.

I want to warn you right here thar I am Hable to be compelled to make some changes in the figures before the final summing up. ‘The close race in the American League has hampered the managers in planning for the World's Series, They haa plenty to think about trying to win in their own league, and there are several points not settled which may change the figures, CONDITIONS AND DOPE.

Had Wost Virginia played anything like the game they played at Prinoe- ton they would have beaten Glenn Warner's men, but Pitteburgh wisely gave them some unusual balls to han- die in the way of kicks, and before they knew it West Virginia was beaten.
