At a banquet recently held on an

Napoleon Sec" was the wine served,

of this generous wine. paid the follow

the sparkling beverage in which he
was about to propose the toast to be

Two lines of discussion are suggest
ed by the comment of President James
of the University Of Illinois upon col
lege athletics. one relating to the effec
of training upon those who take par,
In intercollegiate sports and the Other
to the general influence Of such sports
upon the habits and pastimes Of the
whole body of students. 1t Is an old
story that excessive training Is injuri
Gus, and II Is frequently said that tho
college athletes instead OF showing
exceptional physical vigOr after gradu
alton appear to suffer from loss OF
vitality. President James Is reported
to have made an investigation into
this branch OF the subject, but We
have only his CONGRATULATIONS. not the
statistics upon which they are based
At most, however. only u relatively
small number OF students are affected
| by the entertaining. and while their
experience may serve as a warning
and call for regulation, 1t does not ,le-
termlne the more important question
OF the influence that Is eXerted by ath'
letlcs OH the college life. But Presl'
dent James states the case as though
the devotion Of the few to sort OF
professionalism excluded the many
from rational exercise. He says: A
score Of men In college after untold
hardships are picked to represent the
college Oh football team. They are
kept under continuous strain fol
months. All the rest Of the college men
play merely the part Of "rooters," tax
ing no exercise at all. The great
wrong here Ia that the incentive "a
general and most desirable athletic
work on a sane scale Ia lost. That
may be fair description Of present
conditions, but not many years age
there was great string Of candidates
for every university contest, and the
competition between classes not only
developed the class crews, mines and
elevens, but led to wide participation
In the preliminary practice work. In
other words, all this competition af
forded the general incentive, and the
idea of exclusion IL a difficult one to
grasp. except In so far as it refers to
the choice of candidates. The mere
rooter might take exercise II he would
and he would probably be indifferen,
to any incentive except some form OF
compulsion. 1t Is pertinent to ask
therefore, what the new incentive Is
to be. At the same time 1t would ap,
pear that the most regrettable feature
Of the recent developments is a grow.
