CRIMSON FOOTBALL TURNS RED
Out hcmlfelt sympathy goes out to the editoi b of the Hal
’s aid Cnmsoii They hate been deluded, pool stiuggling untlei
graduatcs that they aic, by the “evils” ot football They iearj
ioi dear old Ilanaid, tliey feat foi deal old ll.uv aid’s iootball,j
hut most of all they evidently fear that then subsetiption list will
jail ofl consuleiably it they do not come cut with something sup
er-sensational once in a while
In this issue of the COLLEGIAN, we aie lepunung tha
Crimson’s pioposed gndnon icioims Attei leading it ovci.
the entiic .student body will assemble foi a mass-meeting and en
joy one loud, long guffaw togethei. It iootball icioims weie to
be woiked out according to the Cumson’s view then the Unit
ed States will use little Willie’s, aged sin, plan tor international
peace.
Thcie can be no question that intercollegiate football is over
emphasized Cut is the overemphasis hmtmg anjonc 7 Are
the educational standards oL our colleges and univeisities falling
olf because football happens to be so popular dui mg the fn st thi ee
months ot school 7 On the contiaiy. hasn’t this oveiemphasisj
tended to stake a moio popular balance between the huge and
small colleges toda> '
Let’s'analyze the Cnnison’s p.ogiam It suggests tmu
Ilarvaid play a senes ol not moio than thiee intcicollegiate
games, one with Yale and two with othei umv duties (Prince
ton is not mentioned.) What could be swcctei to the cais of
those who arc doing then utmost to piomote professional foot-j
hall today? They would gloat ovei such a lefoim In fact, if
it was carried out it is likely that the Crimson would icceive a
rovalty fiom the icccipts ol each protcs.siona! game.
And then the Crimson bewails the enoimous ciowds that
v lew the b'g inteicollegiate contests. One must icah/e that with
each succeeding yeai. a college has more alumni and mote undcr
giaduates and they help swell the nns, ot spectatois every sea
son “Do away with eaily season tiuinmg” says the
Crimson. We might as well do away with the entire spmt ol
competition then. A writer in a Philadelphia papen suggests
that the Ciimson should also advocate abolishment of night
picpaiation for next-day classes.
Yale lines up with Ilarvaid opinion, since the Crimson sug
go-ts that one of llaivaid’s games be played with Yale and two
“with other universities.” Pimceton will know hotter than to
v.m the championship ot the “Big Thiee” next ycai
DO YOU AGREE?
"Arc jou agieoablc 7 Did it cvei occur to you that aaieo
ableness is one of the most valuable qualities that a peison mav
possess 7 ” That is the theme of a lecent editoilal appealing in
the Sjiacuse Dailv Change The vvntei continues, “Agieeablc
rcss will bring you tnends, woik and a happy outlook, to ‘•ay
nothing of a w lie oi a husband. It has been known to bi mg good
giadcs and honoi societies” If by the vvoid agieeableness the
Change editor moans tact, we concui. Without tact and without
ils clos« lelative, selt-contiol. friendly discussions between hon
es; ltd icspcctable citizens would invariably end in fisticuffs.
U wever, if by agrecableness is meant the piacticc of making
one’s sell pleasant company by eternally checking along. Hie us
ual method, we take exception. The cultivation of such a quality
for the purpose of achieving what is commonly .accepted as suc
cess is a most populai pin suit on Amcncan campuocs The un
dergraduate who cultivates it with leal success takes his place
among the big men mound college. The man who plays the same
“yessing” game but who is less adapt and gets his signals mixed is
condemned—he is the handshakoi, iccognized. God help him;
he has committed the ciime of failure.
Those familiar types, however, aie both guilty of an oftensa
far more serious than insincerity. Agieeing becomes a habit, i
habit that successfully kills any latent originality they mav pos
sess. And in originality lies man’s only hope of pi ogress, of cre
ative accomplishment It must be painfully evident that evoiy
aevanco in civilization has come from some feailess mortal who
disagreed with the lest oi his fellows.
Despise the man who always agiees with vou; he wants
something foi which he has no light to ask; he is unable to think
for himself, or he is a cow aid afraid to defend his own ideas
