Black French Hurdler to Invade. America
-Cam- Georges Andre, one of the foremost
t July French athletes, will come to the

United States next September. An-I
dre's special events are the sprints
and the hurdles. He will compete in
England before embarking for Amer-
ica. In 'representing France in the
Olympic games Andre finished a close
fourth in the 400 metre hurdles. The
event was won by Frank Loomis, of
Chicago.
The Stadium Craze
The stadium bee seems to have stung
the athletic heads in all of the large
American universities. There is
scarcely a large school in the coun-
try which is not either laying plans for
a new athletic plant or has 'the con-
strdction actually under way. The im-
petus behind this country wide move-
ment seems to be the desire to accom-
modate the great throngs which annu-
ally assemble td witness the gridiron
battles. Every school is trying to ac-,
commodate its alumni body which re-f
turns every fall to cheer for its Almaj
Mater. Incidentally the accommoda-
tion of the alumni is being carefully
attended to since most of the stadiums
are being built with the money which
is solicited from the various alumni
bodies.
The growing popularity of football
as an intercollegiate sport has been
the greatest factor in this movement.
This has been particularly true in the
middle west and far west. The evenly
matched teams developed in these sec-
tions have taken the center of interest
away from the East. No longer do the
western football enthusiasts have to
look to the Harvard-Yale game as the
deciding contest of the year, but in-
stead their interest centers in the Big
Ten race or in the title match for the
Pacific Coast championship. Inter-
sectional contests have added greatly
to the football interest.

making arrangements to seat the
crowds which attend the fall games,
wh ie on.the coast Washington has a,
new stadium, while California and
Stanford expect to have new p'ants in
the near future. This is in striking'
contrast to the feeling a decaue ag
when the University of Chicago was
planning to build a concrete stand on
Stagg field. The original drawings and
:seating cap~acity were reduced uponj
the advice of the anti-athletic faction
which held that there would be no in-
terscholastic games in five years. At
present this faction is very quiet.

MICHIGAN LISTED AMONG
PRE-SEASON FAVORITES
From early indications football fans
'may expect to see one of the most
hotly contested seasons in the history
of the Big Ten when the curtain
rises on the 1921 gridiron. Nearly
every Conference school is strength-
ened and no less than four teams
must be given serious consideration
as being strong enough to win the
coveted title. During the last fewI
seasons Conference teams have be-
come more and more evenly match-a
ed. The coming season of 1921 ap-
pears tq be no exception to this rulel
for in no instance can one school be
picked which stands out above thef
rest in its number of returning grid-
iron warriors.f
Discounting all of the "ifs", and
possible upsts in dope, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan seem to
have the; best pre-season possibili-
ties, while Ohio State and Minnesota
are to be reckoned with. Some of the
pother Conference institutions may]
develop powerful aggregations but
th'ere is no indication that any of+
them will be able to put teams on
the field which can match the ones'
put out by these other universities.
Wisconsin
The University of Wisconsin has, the'
nucleus of one of the greatest squads
the Cardinal has hadl since the 'days
of 1915 when they were tied for Con-.
ference honors. Sundt, the great
plunging fullback and kicker on the
Badger team, will be back for anoth-
er season as also will Halfbacks El-
liott and Williams, together with,
Bunge at, center and other capable
linemen. With this material to start
with Coach Richards is very optimis-
tic.
Elliott and Williams were two of the
best halfbacks in the West last year,
while Sundt played a sterling game
at fullback., Bunge is a veteran cen-
ter and is highly rated. Wisconsin
has Conference games with North-
western, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan
and Chicago, The Badgers meet
Michigan at Madison Nov. 12.
' hIwa,
Howard Jones at Iowa is planning
on a bi season for the Iowa City
lads. With Slater, Belding and the
Devine brothers back for another
season the Hawkeye mentor should be
able to produce a team which will
give a good account of itself. Slater,
+ Belding and Aubury Devine have all
demonstrated their ability and' were
chosen on Eckersall' All-Western
selections. Iowa has a game with its
traditional enemy, Minnesota.
For the past two seasons the Hawk-
eyes have downed the big Gopher
team. This season Dr. Williams an

will be out to redeem themselves by
trouncing Iowa. Iowa in a like man-
ner has lost close games in the past
two years to Illinois, and will be out
to take the scalp of the Indians, when
the two elevens line up this fall. If

The Oldest Football
Not wishing to be outdone by their
American friends, the French have
come forth in an article in the La Nou-
velle Revue of Paris, claiming that
football was played in France in the
15th century. The French writer re-
marks that football, commonly regard-
ed as the national game of England
and the favorite sport among Amer-
ican colleges, was formerly popular in
France and doubtless would have con-
tinued to be the pational sport of
France had it not been for an act of
the parliament of Paris which forbids
its being played. This Writer says
that the old French gane was called
Le baloon but since the modern game
has been developed the Frenchmen
have adopted the American term of
football. The old game according to
the French writer was played on some
meadow and in it victory was less re-
garded than the desire for personal
conflict. In 1761 the parliament of
Paris absolutely refused to permit Le
baloon or football to be played. The
French have an interesting account of
the origin of the gridiron sport but if
the Egyptians 4ear of the new sport
some of their writers may convince us
that under the pyramids lie the bodies
of former All-Egyptian quarterbacks
and players of every description whof
were serving touchdowns 5,000 years
ago, and that our teams are just reach-
ing the form theirs used to have.

At Iliology Camp
Many prominent men are associated
with the biological station of the Uni-

Agricultural college, who is acting as
assistant professor of botany; Mr.
