STIRRED
OVER USING KNIFE
Assert That Most of Deadly Assaults In London Are By
Foreigners Unused to Boxng-Kicking Foes
In Spreading.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

We have unwittingly stirred up the
English sporting and police authori-
ties, and a big talk is going on across
the water.
Some time ago we published COM
ment in this column upon the alleged
interview which appeared in several
American papers with a Scotland Yard
detective. The interview quoted the
unnamed official as deploring the in
crease in the use Of the knife among
the lower orders in London in lighting
among themselves and in resisting ar
rest. We pointed out that deadly as
saults were rare in England COM
pared with this country, and cited il
as an evidence OF the need OF encour-
aging boxing. The Scotland Yard Of
fcials are strong for boxing, but as
sert that the knifing Is mostly done
by foreigners IN London. The obvious
deduction is that IL the foreigners
were as accustomed to fighting with
their fists as are Eng!ishmen. and had
boxing been encouraged among them,
there would be fewer Of the deadly
assaults of which the police authori-
ties complain. In discussing the pres
ent writer's comment, which was
based upon the interview as pub
lished in another paper, London
Sporting Life has the following:
The writer says much with which
we agree. especially as to the stupidity
Of parents bringing up their children
metaphorically wrapped in Sotton wool,
but the assertion that the Englishman
is resorting to the use Of the knife is
so startling that we instituted in
quiries, and these go 10 show that
there is not any trustworthy evidence
70 support the allegation.
"A Sporting Life representative paid
a visit 20 Scotland Yard. and he was
there Informed by an official that NO
such statement has been officially is
sued from Scotland Yard as that 70
which you have called attention, and
81 would not be il only because IL is
opposed to our experience. The use Of
the knife is not increasing in this
country. There are many cases OF
wounding. IL is true, but the bulk Of
them are by foreigners, the Italians
especially being ready with the knife
when a quarrel arises.
Interesting Statistics.

LEHIGH PRESIDENT
FAYORS ATHLETICS
Head of University Ladds
All Forms of Sports In
Colleges.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, Oct IL
Dr.. II. S. Drinker. president of Lehigh
University, has taken a decided stand
al the annual meeting OF the tennis
association last week. and, in part his
remarks we're as follows:
1T is my earnest wish that the ath-
le'ic side of our university life shall
be encouraged and actively supported.
You viii find, as you learn to know
them, that our alumni, who look here
for men 70 enter employment after
graduation, want not only men who
have been scholars, but men with self
reliance and good physique, able ply
sically to stand. the strain CT modern
business life and able mentally 20 ex-
ercise those qualities OF poise, patience
and good Judgment winch come largely
rom good training. and teh acquired
knowledge OF how TO use to the best adj
vantage all OF a mans faculties
There is no question but that from
this economic and business standpoint
every man physically ft 20 do so should,
through his four years OF college life,
actively take part heartily and steadily
in some college athletic activity. Moth
ing VIII help a man more on his study
side, nothing that he can do will give
him pleasanter memories in the future
than 90 look back 10 his athletic expert
ences.
If you cannot make one Of the var
sity teams. don't think your duty TO
yourself and your alma mater is all
done by sitting on the bleachers and
cheering, though that is a highly i'm
portant college function to give our
teams the constant and steady support
Of the college.
II hope and believe that as the sup
port Of tennis Grows IN the university
new courts may be provided and due
provisions made 20 give our university
prominence In this most democratic and
health-giving sport.
