According to statistics made public at the Wadsworth House yesterday in regard to the Freshman spring sports, tennis attracts more first year men than any other form of athletic activity. Thirty-three men are on the regular Freshman squad, and 183 more are playing for recreation.
Crew and track with 156 and 130 followers respectively have proved to be the next most popular sports.
Enrollment Resembles Last Year's
The largest enrollments differ very little from last spring when tennis was again in the lead, with a somewhat larger number out for crew.
The number of Freshmen who are engaged in other sports is as follows: singles, 94; baseball, 68; swimming, 84; equitation, 29; lacrosse, 18; handball, 16; fencing, 15; spring football, 14; Gym, 6; soccer, 5; and specials, 13.
