STRIFE FORGOTTEN, FRIENDSHIP MADE ed on a brass plate over the fireplace in the visiting team’s room is Field House at Dartmouth College is the following inscription: orgotten, friendships made.” At Princeton and at Cornell there are inscriptions which leave on the minds of opponent’s the impression ; the friendship of other colleges than in winning annual athletic combats. thletics were first established in schools and colleges to afford an opportunity or the physical development of the students. Later it was ‘argued that thleti ea loyalty to the school and friendship with other schools d i ry way tended to develop the minds of the players. these as the primary reasons for existing, school athletics have now “grown to the point where their benefit to the student, the student body and he school have ‘often been questioned. Certainly jealousy, pettiness and un- ir competition have never been advanced as reasons why high schoos] and es should maintain an elaborate and expensive system of athletics. To he value of school athletics, the action of Diallas Boroughs the recent meeting of local school heads to establish a Rural sket Ball League leaves a still further question whether athletics are justi- in the | high school. The borough’s representative refused to enter ple in which the team from Dallas township was entered. His action ollowed : ‘meeting of the borough student council when that body voted to ever all athletic connections with the township. The action of the council as the direct result of hard feelings following a recent football game with the am from Dallas township. Such action was unwarranted. It was the result of hasty and angry ~ thinking on the part of a council whose action was stimulated by the dis- greeable attitude of fans who witnessed the recent football game. There Ts till a question’ in the minds of many spectators as to just which football team layed the hardest and roughest game on that occasion. And the student ouncil should have waited until the community and the council itself cooled wn before taking action. Nothing is to be gained by severing connections h the township. Much is to be lost. Certainly the faculty and the direc- s of the local schools will not ‘allow the development of ill feelings between borough and township just because a council made up of undeveloped Id minds has said that “such shall be the case.” Better to follow the ership of Cornell and Princeton, where athletics mean something and the slogan: “Strife forgotten, friendship made,” than to allow fur- prejudices to grow up in this community. If athletics mean hard feelings prejudices—then discontinue athletics.

HEARD AROUND THE CORNER Seme Fisherman When it comes to fishing, and es- pecially for pickerel, Hal Wagner of town seems to have the fever, and on Armistice Day, just past, he seems to | have copped the prize when it comes to size, over his companions, Charlie Johnson of Beaumont and F. F. Mor- ris of Dallas. Some few weeks ago both Wagner and Johnson each caught a pickerel approximately twenty-nine inches long and considerable discussion followed as to ‘who was who.” But on Mon- day last Wagner caught one weighing three pounds and eleven ounces and showed a total length of twenty-six inches without stretching, which is sometimes done by these good friends who accompanied him on the trip. That, is not stretching the truth, but the fish. Up to the Minute This fellow Earl Monk of Shaver- town is sure right up to the minute in regard to his hardware store.
