Farrell and Bailey Attack Dietetic Irregularities--"Saps Vitality" Says Coach; "Increases My Work" Says M.D.

Both Dr. M. H. Bailey, University Medical Adviser, and E. J. Farnell, Trainer of the football team and track coach, emphatically denounced the eating situation as it now exists, when approached on the subject yesterday.

"The University will unquestionably return to the plan of eating together," declared Farrell. "It's only natural that young men should cat in one place," he continued, "for there is no doubt that rubbing elbows with the other undergraduates is one of the most important activities in which any man in the college can participate."

Coach Farrell emphasized the fact that the training table's primary purpose was not so much to standardize the food which the athletes ate as to enable the men to eat regularly and as a unit. The facilities at present are such that only the major sport teams can enjoy this advantage, and then only when they are in strict training. During the remaining part of the year the athletes have their meals, as do the majority of the undergraduates, first at one restaurant, then at another. "The teams would be in infinitely better condition at the beginning trainer, "if they had opportunity to eat regularly when out of training. Indeed the entire undergraduate body would unquestionably benefit if they could get away from the one arm restaurants which the men frequent at present. Their vitality would increase, and our teams would improve as a direct result."

"'Eating around' is positively bad for the student body," declared Dr. M. H. Bailey, University Medical Advisor. "I say 'eating around' because, unfortunate-of each season," declared the veteranly, the practise has become so common that the words are now a part of the vocabulary of the community. The trouble is not that the men cannot get fairly good food, but that there is a tendency for them to hurry their meals, and, while many are wise, many others are unwise in their selection of diet.

"If one or more conveniently located places could be provided, where students could get an attractive and scientifically correct diet, it would certainly make for the better health of those students who now 'eat around'. Many of the cases which come under my observation can be traced directly to this unfortunate habit."
