slaner of labor, and now college presi-
dent, is inclined TO be dependent over
the Fart that athletic sports are playing
in the American university. In an address
on Thursday before the American lnsti-
tute Of Instruction, he referred to the
acknowledging influence of college athletics
hintcd al unfortunate physical conso~
auences" likely to result to players, and
concluded that competitive games ought
to be abolished, AS 70 athletics in general,
he Is plainly not over enthusiastic. but
upon competitive athletics he would lay
dn@n flat veto.
Ii Is obvious that here Is distnc-
ton without a difference. The difficulty
with the learned doctors theory Is. In

and soul of al athletics. Athletics Is
oompet!tIon, and The competitive spirl
is 10 more real, often no more keen, i,
