s0UyD SENSE FOR COLLEGE ATHLETES.

SOUND SENSE FOR COLLEGE ATHLETES.
President Eliot Of Harvard has sometimes
seemed TO hold extreme views concerning col
lege athletics. and he has occasionally expressed
himself on the subject in such manner as 10
olicnate rather than conciliate those to whom
he especially appealed 1t was surmised that III
his annual report this year he might take stlii
more radical position, and the document mas
been awaited with not a little anxiety by stu
dents and graduates of Harvard. But such fore
holdings were needless. for the report has just
appeared and that part of it which refers TO
college sports IS found to be as conservative rs
II is brief. and as full of sound sense as II is
moderate in statement President Eliot naturally
cites the unsatisfactory experience of Harvard
to illustrate what he describes as fundamental
defect in the athletic organization, but his argu
ment is Of universal application. 1t IS TACT
that coaches Of limited experience, who may
"be either unobservant or obtuse. can override
ION the spot the advice Of the trainer and physi-
clans; and the consequence. which has become
painfully familiar to the partisans OF all the
colleges frequently Is that 'the principal players
"of football are almost all more or less injured
"early in the season and are then brought into
"the principal games In crippled ana EXHAUST
"ed condition. while the crew come to the nnal
trace less capable Of endurance than they were
"a month earlier The remedy which President
Eliot ponts out is the subordination OF coaches
TO experts in training. with medical SUPERVISION
and the general adoption OF more reasonable
views about preparation for athletic sports. In
conclusion he states the true principle, which
sooner or later must prevail in this country as
II has long prevailed in England, in these ad-
mirably chosen words:
II must be perceived and admitted that train
ing which goes beyond pleasurable. strenuous
exercise is worse than useless and that so-called
spOrts which require dull and dreaded routine
of hardship and suffering In preparation Tor a
few exciting crises not worth wnat tney
cost They pervert even courage and elf-sacr1-
fee because these high qualities are eHerciseu
for adequate end.
The athletes Of the English universities nave
repeatedly contrasted to our disadvantage the
spirt and purpose which characterize their metn-
ods Of training and their competitions with the
spirt and purpose manifested here. In this
country 1t is too commonly felt that champion
shin IS the only adequate reward for persistent
effort. There the pleasure Of the exercise, the
satisfaction derived from the consciousness OF
increasing proficiency. and the sense OF physical
woll-being are esteemed sufficient recompense,
which the 10y Of a conspicuous triumph merely
enhances. That Is the sound conception OF the
part which athletics ought to play in college
ffe "A dreaded routine Of hardship and suffer
ing" would not be worth while, even If 1t were
Indispensable to success and we have no doubt
thot II contributes more often TO defeat than to
victory.

TPANSVAAL TROUBLES AGAIN.

Mr.. Chamberlain talks disquietingly, but no
doubt with good cause. Transvaal aHalrs are
by no means settled The promised reforms
have not been granted. and there seems little
prospect now that they will be- On the con-
trary, new regulations concerning Immigrants
and non-naturalized residents have just been
promulgated which are even more grlevous ana
offensive than the old ones The "uitlanders
are no more satisfied than they were year
ago, and have no more cause to ne, though
they may not express their feelings as openly
and violently a. they did.
1t IS great pity that this should be so. The
Transvaal is a rich and delightful country,
which would soon be filled up with highly de-
sirable class of Immigrants. If only entry and
citizenship were granted to them on such terms
as In other lands. In maintaining this attitude
of reaction the Boer Government is really doing
itself and the State great injury; and one of
these days it will be forced to abandon such
attitude far less gracefully than 1t could now.
No State, great or small, can well afford TO
set itself against progress and against human
ity. and none can permanently do so.
The attitude and conduct Of England and
Germany in the matter will be watched with
interest. The latter has, of course absolutely
no right TO interfere. She never had the slight
est claim to ownership of the Transyaa she
has almost no commercial interests there apart
from those common to all the world, and only
handful of her subjects are among the op-
pressed "Uitlandcrs." Yet nothing is more
clear than that she is determined to bend every
energy TO secure predominant political nflu-
cnce therc and ultimately, If possible. TO gain
absolute possession of the country. England,
on the other hand. formerly owned the whole
territory. and still appears, at least on paper,
to have some suzcrain rights, while her espe-
cial commercial interests there are enormous,
and the vast majority OF the "Uitanders" are
or were her subjects At the same time there
Is a widespread notion that she too. must rec
ognize the Transvaal as an entirely independ-
ent sovereign State, and therefore refrain from
interfering in its domestic affairs
| The attitude Of the United States will. in any
event, be one Of complete dsinterestedness
But Americans will doubtless regard so un-
settled country as not a favorable one to
make investments In, and will not reckon 1t
desirable to seek residence in State where
they would be classed as white niggers' and
be treated as convicts on tickets-of-leave.
