...next most popular sport with 125 men; it also has the distinction of having the highest average time spent upon it. Basketball with 123, swimming with 120, track with 100, wrestling with 66, calisthenics with 40, and boxing with 20 are next in order. It is interesting to note that only 15 are down as participating in hockey. This would compare very unfavorably with the large number engaged in University, Freshmen, second, and scrub hockey at Cambridge...
