logical to Blve
athletics u trial,
nnyway
ner flnco the adoption nf football
. '.- intorentleclato snort. Yale Harvard
",i i.rinrinn have ptood In tin- front rank.
They were looked upon to set the pace for
others to tollow. and their actions were
enviously watched liv player on the
tmaller elevens. Kach year they played
the wcrld's series of the gridiron, and tho
entire country was Inlercnteil In tho games.
They were regarded as the Senile's of the
tame, and naturally. In a crisis like this,
were looked upon to pilot tho others
througli tho rough and rugged places, lint
nothing lilvo that happened Instead of
taking a firm stand for the promulgation of
the sport, the Dig Three chose to He down
and quit and allow tho (Iters ti get out
of It the bent way they knew how. They
were first to desert a sinking i.hlp when It
was supposed that they would bo the last
to leave.
Prestige Is Lost
Tae, Harvard and Princeton havo lost
prestige by their action. No longer will
they be looked upon nj the supreme factors!
of football. They will tnko their place with
the others and perhaps a trllle In the rear.
They struck out with tho bases full
"All of our varsity men hae enlisted,"
they say, "30 why should wc try to play
football with sccor.d-c asa men to represent
cur college? We don't mind defent so much,
tut wo haven't got the men to mako up n
team." Hut what's that got to do with the
question? The real query Is, "How many
men arc there In Yale, Harvnid and Pilnce
ton who are willing to try for tho team?"
I'll venture to say that more than 100 cm
didates would report for each team, and
It's a cinch that a few star players would
be dlscoyered before tho season was well
tinder way.
No doubt the Rig Three would hate to
ec their elevens defeated by every one and
weak, puny athletes trying to upho'd the
tradition and honor of alma mater, but It
was supposed that they were big enough
and broad-minded enough to take their
medicine with the otheis. It looks as If
the .system is, "If we can't win wo won't
play."
We are getting the wrong Idea of Inter-
erileglato athletics. Wo compaie tho teams
with tho b'g league baseball clubs, where
the players tecolve high salaries for their
work. Athletics cannot be called tho biggest
thing In a co lege course. Students attend
the university to take up a courso of study,
ir.d during the tecrcatlon periods they take
Up some form of exerclpo to develop them
elvcs physically as well as mentally.
Only a Side Issue
Football really Is only a side Issue like
a game of catch Indulged In by a bunch
of clerks during the noon hour. After the
regular work Is done In the classrooms the
itudents take up their favorite sport Just
to fill in the time and tot some dleilon.
This Is not a knock at football or any
other college sport. It merely Is an nt
tempt to point out tho real Hatus of
athletics In tho college curriculum and the
oa(a has been obtained from personal ex
perience. Wo take sports too seriously,
and this, no doubt. Is due to the largo
.mount of publicity connected with them.
Also, we all love to havo n winner and
this-makes us all tho moro enthusiastic.
To the nerago citizen, that Is, the matter-of-fact
person, football must be the
greatest thing that ever has been Installed
In the colleges. At the oponlng of every
Mason" this matter-of-fact citizen reads
that Tale, Harvard or Princeton "has been
terribly weakened this year by tho gradua
tion of Hoos's and Whntsls and Hooslt,
Probably the best bachfleld that ever
romped around the gridiron. This Is tho
hardest luck tho old college has suffered
In years." Or ho may read that IVushcr, the
tar tackle, had to quit college to take a
position as presldenUof tho steel trust or
omethlng. with the usual hard-luck wall
t the end.
Popular Delusion
Now the matter-of-fact citizen labors
"ioer the delusion that the college Is malij
tajned for the development of young men
or more or less useful pursuits. Ho as
sumes that the matter of graduation Is a
us for rejoicing both to the college and
"ie man who receives his diploma. He has

Colgate Has the Nerve
Last year llttlo Colgate had a better team
than either Vale, Hnrvard or Princeton.
Tho eleven mado a wonderful reputation
and expected to do even better this year.
Hut this college, with barely fiOO students,
lins lost its football team, every man en
listing or finishing his collego course. Col
gato Is rendy to go back Into the 'arena
Willi whatever material It may bo nble to
muster Willi Its limited number of students
from which to draw.
Pittsburgh, tho bct team In the country,
has lost must of Us stars, but not one chirp
Is beard about quitting. Penn will put a
team on the field and tho cjaches do not
know who will play. Tho other colleges
hundreds of them realize that all of the
students have a right to try for the foot
ball team and will encourago them to come
out Instead of playing only to tho special
ists roothnll will thrlvo this yenr be
cause of tho ad led enthusiasm caused by
new faces in tho lineups, instead of a fa
vored few, hundreds of students who
would'nt even dare to put on a football
suit will bo out trjlng for the varsity and
the sport will be more popular than ever.
Just a Few Figures
According to figures Issued lai-t fall Har
vard had 0:0G students; Yale ?.2Ti ;
Princeton, 1G35 ; Colgate fifil; Washington
ami .icrrer.iuii, .'i.'IS ; Holy Cross, r!17 ; (Jeorgc-
town, lO0. Kuch of these Institutions has
lost virtually all of Its football etcrans,
yet we Hnd tho llttlo fellows icady to re
sume pl.iy regardle-a of what tho future
will bring forth. This makes the Inter
collcglatu aristocracy look pretty small find
cheap the lllg Threo which hnng.s back
because of a question of "taste " "decency,"
"sympathy" or lack of neno or veterans
whatever It Is.
Patr'otlsm Is a wonderful thing, but all
the hrao men are not found In Yale, Har
vard and Princeton and you can prove It
yourself.

Is Inevitable In the

fact, It would bo rather Interesting
for tome live promoter to figure out the
great puzzle as to who Is the better 133

At least six boxers appear prominently,
