The present paper aims at investigating the extra-curricular sports activities in Tokyo Higher Normal School(THNS) from Taisho Era to the end of World War II . The followings results were obtained. 1)In this period, the Undo-bu(sports club) in the THNS increased in number. Behind this phenomenon, there exsisted the rapid popularization of sports in Japan and the increase of the students of THNS. 2)There were many good players in track-and-field, swimming, association foot-ball, rowing, handball in the THNS who represented Japan in the Olympic Games and/or Far Eastern Championship Games. It means that the extra-curricular sport activities in THNS contributed a lot to the improvement on the level of Japanese sports. 3)The Undo-bu of judo, kendo and association football sponsored the National Middle Schools Championships and contributed to the development of local sports. 4)THNS graduates played an important part in the popularization and the development of the local sports.
