FOOTBALLERS’ FEET
LEFT LARGER THAN RIGHT It is not generally known that the average man’s left foot is larger than his right, hut this has been found to bo tho case by a Dundee boot salesman. A census of foot sizes was recently taken over a fortnight, and when the results were totalled th e difference in favour of the left foot-was found to be quite appreciable. Most mon kick with the right foot, and it is supposed that kicking has the effect of stunting the growth of the member used, says a Dundeo paper. In support of this theory is another test By tho samo salesman, which has revealed the fact that whereas the average size in bools for men is eight, those who aro continually playing football average only six, a surprising number taking fives', and quite a few fours.
