Thirty-four per cent of the undergraduates of the University are engaged in some form of organized athletics. Statistics compiled by the CRIMSON show that 614 men are taking daily exercise with the various athletic squads. In former years the total of those in athletics ran from 45 to 50 per cent of the undergraduates of the College, but this year's record, however, is considered excellent, when the unsettled condition of undergraduate affairs is taken into consideration.

Crew with a total of 176 men rowing daily on the machines is the most popular sport at present. Track with only 92 candidates is second followed by hockey with 77 University, Freshman and Dormitory players. Seventy-six members of the class of 1922 are enrolled in the various squads of the Freshman Athletic class, which stands fourth in numbers.
