PLAY AS INCIDENTAL.

We read many college stories in the
popular magazines, all treating OF but
two phases of college life. college love
stories and college pranks. Conse-
U2ntlv many young men and women
planning to step into a university
rom their high schools come with
"Oseatc ideas OF the good times they
wiil lave. but very haZy plans for
The Intellectual side. And entering
with this idea firmly imbued in their
mirds they cling to it through their
ntlre hool lie. Social pleasures,
ccltsh prarI;s. with studies merely a
uere ;=ary evil, they gaily frivol their
time away, to find when they finally
step into the real world, that for four
years they had been Systematically
q. aaAnning themselves, had made
ih"I selves unfit TO cope with the real
problems of life. And strive as they
may this handicap will cling to them
rs long as they live.
To be cheerful and happy, to make
friends and keep them, to take your
work as a pleasure, always keeping
the man you would like to be before
sour eyes, this is the best and broad
est college life.

To the University Missourian:
| am very much pleased with the
Missourian this year and can offer ne
suggestions for Improvement unless
it be that you give us a little more
news of the alumni. We are always
glad to know what is going on at the
University, and especially in athletics,
but a little news now and then as to
where some of the old timers are and
what they are doing will read mighty
well to some of us who are intereste q
in those who have come and gone.
The records of the Alumni Office and
things piced up from students who are
in touch with former students ard
alumni will make interesting news for
the alumni readers of the Missourian.

NavigabIe Water MonopoIy's Enemy

Navigable water is the natural and
invincible enemy of monopoly. 1t is
as free as the air to the poor man.
1t is not difficult or expensive to con-
struct a flatboat that will haul crop
OF potatoes or corn, or what not, from
the field to the market when the field
fronts navigable river that flows to
city where the crop may be profitably
sold. 1t is impossible for railroads to
raise freight rates above the limits
recognized in the formulation of the
rule OF las much as the traffic will
bear" 1t will not bear as much where
there is water transportation as it does
where there is a gentlemen's agree
ment between parallel lines of railroad

SCRUB" FOOTBALL MAN
GAMEST OF ATHLETES

(From an article by Bozeman Bul
ger, Heroes in the Making" in the
Associated Sunday magazines.)
The scrub is the gamest of all ath
letes. He volunteers to act as a
dummy, allows himself to be run ovel
and crushed, and never complains
With no hope of being remunerated
by having honors bestowed upon him
around year after year for the honor
of his school,
Can you imagine anything more he
roic? The scrubs name is never
mentioned in the papers, not even the
college papers. The best honor he
can hope to attain is mere eleventh
part of the word scrub"
The first few days of football train
ing are spent in organizing good
scrub team. and it must be composed
of youngsters who will not quit. They
must fight the regulars to the last
ditch. They must put themselves in
the place of some opposing college
team and listen to the cries of delight
of fellow students as their ranks are
torn to pieces by the players who will
represent the varsity on the gridiron
While the scrubs are thus being
organized, hte regulars spend their
time in passing the ball around, falling
on it, running around the field so as
gradually to increase their wind or
endurance powers. They must be in
shape to cut gap in the scrub forma-
tion the first time out. The scrub, in
be demolished. AS the training ad-
vanceS the lot of the scrub becomes
harder. AS the men grow tougher
physically they begin to tackle tougher
problems mentally
The following is typical incident
OF the work on football field during
the training season:
In my opinion" says one of the
coaches as they watch the work. I'VE
can break up that three-men inter-
ference used by Pennsylvania or
Princeton by forming tandem and
letting the two halfbacks and the end
knock off the men protecting the ball.
The end can then rush in and get
the man" (That is not technical but
it will serve the purpose of illustra-
tion.D
The other coach mods his head
Come here, AntWine, and you too.
Harrson!" he calls to two well built
scrubs. I'VE want to try out a new
play of blocking Interference. You
will be the men to be blocked"
Now get out there and put man
behind you with the ball" orders the
coach, and come across the field Just
as hard and fast as you can. | want
to see if these two backs can knock
you down before you get around the
end"
'All right, sir" reply the scrubs,
and they actually swell up with pride
at the distinction of being chosen to
be knocked down in demonstrating
new form Of defense.
AS the training goes on the scrubs
become as astute in the fine points
of the game as the regulars. They
often stand toe to toe with the varsity
and play them to a standstil. 1t is
not uncommon for a player to become
so proficient as scrub that he is
taken from that rank and placed on
the varsity.
The Improvement in the scrub team
quickly points out the weakness of
the regulars. When that stage of
training has been reached the coaches
have in the rough a mold of what is
to be a perfect piece of football ma
chinery. All that is necessary now is
to trim off the raw edges, and the
finished product is at hand.

SUPPORT ALL THE TIGERS.

The senior who wrote the communi.
cation in the Missourian in regard to
criticising former football players and
coaches is correct. The new spirit
which demands and is securing the
undivided support OF the student body
is fruitless if it still permits us to
knock" on former players. Ii for
mer teams and players had defects, it
is rather for us to see they do not
exist this year than to criticise per-
sons who are not here to defend them
selves. The only effect that such ac-
ton can have is to bring discredit
upon the persons who make the critl-
cism. The new Missouri spirit looks
toward the future with optimism a,:G
toward the past with charity shall
we live in the future or the past
The Tigers may now bear in mind
the rest of the games on the schedule
are real football. Not that the games
of the first Of the season were not
hard games. but the rest OF the games
are with teams that play in faster
company. Ames and Iowa will be the
rpa1 test pf tha I io,r foam This wear
Both will be hard games. and further
more, they will be played or foreign
fields. For this reason it is the duty
oi the members of the team to play
that much harder, for the rooters who
can notssee them play will be eagerly

the larger score on MissOuri's side,
