PUT CURB ON ATHLETES
Missouri Valley Schools May Rule
Against One Man in All Games.
ATHLETES NEGLECT OTHER WORK
Argument in Favor of Limitation
Based on Contention that Ath-
Ietic Enthusiasm Defeats Real
object of Schools.

The old question Of limiting the number
OF sports in which student may partici-
pate in one year is coming up again In
tho schools in the Missouri valley. The
discussion does not include the big state
universities, but applies moro to the high
schools and small colleges.
The argument of those who wish Tor
reform is that with the many and varied
college sports of today the student who Is
given to athletics gives up his whole time
to them for the honor of his school and
to the detriment of his personal interest
in his studies. further charge that
teachers are inclined to favor the athletic
men in order that they may keep up IN
their studies is made
Beginning with the school year In Sep
TENDER the foot ball practice is started.
and from then until Thanksgiving there is
very little time for anything else. Imme-
dietely after Thanksgiving basket ball
looms up and, as in small schools and col
leges there are but few athletes, the foot
ball men make up the basket ball squad.
Basket ball is continued until far into
March and really covers the indoor track
season and ends just before the spring
track work begins. Strange to say, the
same men who appeared on the foot ball
right on hand for places and honors in
the track team. The base ball season
finds the same men on hand.
In many cases the parent objects and al
lows his son 20 work in only one sport,
but in recent years the school authorities
have taken a hand and have made rulings
which do not actually forbid the student 8
playing on more than one team, but which
in practice make It impossible
At present Creighton university. which
forSyears has not had a track squad and
never has had basket ball five is going
to try these sports this season. but with
misgivings on the part OF many parents
that 1t will take up too much time in the
spring season. At the Omaha High school
several parents have forbidden their sons
to work on foot ball team, basket ball
five and the track Bellevue has had no
basket ball team for some years. The
Omaha university contemplates having no
track team. Lincoln and other high
schools in Nebraska and many of the
small colleges in Iowa. Nebraska and Mis-
souri, will drop one sport and still more
have men whose parents refuse to allow
them to shine in all lines OF athletics.

TbIs one Ta natter.

John z. Bruce of Cincinnati is secretary
OF the National commission. He says that
in 100 cases. which have been heard by
the commission. there are but two instances
on record where ball players have not told
the truth.
There's a great feather in the cap of the
professional bali player. He may do things
which he shouldn't do. and which will re-
act on him in the long run, but when it
comes to going before the most important
body with which he has to deal in his
public career, he doesn't balk at the
truth. r.Fe. ~
Ball players are fond Of their jokes, and
as most Of them have the boyish side of
their natures developed to a large degree,
they are fond Of practical jokes.
Sometimes It is hard to tell when they
are fooling and when they mean what they
say. When It comes TO a business propo-
sition. in which their dealings with a
thousand and one owners thro dghout the
United States are ION the carpet" the
ball player IL ION the level"
II 1t isn't a tribute to the honesty Of base
ball II isn't anything.

Gracious goodness, what fuss IL being
made about bali players paying for their
unifornsl There's nothing new to Il. That
clause has been in the base ball contract
for the last fifteen years and more.
II has been the custom OF the players
when driving a sharp or good-natured bar

ceeding year 10 induce the club owner 70
waive the clause about uniforms. II the
owner figured that the players services
we're worth much TO him. and that the
player had increased in general ability,
very often he was shrewd enough TO pro-
pose right off the reel that the uniform
should be thrown in. thereby making the
player look through rosy spectacles.
n the player happened TO do some par
ticulariy brilliant stunt" he often found
the owner IN a mood to waive the uniform
clause.
Az a result some Of the clubs were pay
ing for the uniforms and some we're not.
The players discovered II and made a lot
of complaint. II doesn't take much 70
bring complaint out of a ball player.
Mr.. Hermann of Cincinnati and not Mr..
Murphy OF Chicago suggested in the Ma
tional league meeting that for the sake OF
harmony the owners either agree to buy
the uniforms or to make the players pay
for one. and stick to It, and he was quite
right.
There is no particular reason why a ball
player should not purchase one uniform

Likes Corporation Publicity.

Secretary Nagel believes the value ol
corporation publicity has been proved
There should be-" he says, IAN active
and permanent system Of publicity under
the federal government, by which all i'm
portant Industrial corporations engaged in
interstate commerce shall report to one
federal agency the essential facts of their
business. Federal action of this sort is
necessary because no state system can
comprehensively cover the subject. Thus,
with a central agency OF business informa-
ton in continuous operation, the country
would have reliable information on the
management of our commercial forces,
public opinion would be afforded a basis
OF intelligent action, unjust prejudice would
be removed and business interests would
have a source Of information on corporate
facts covering the entire country. There
would be a permanent and recognized point
OF contract between the government and
the managers of corporations The rela-
lions of corporate action to public interest
could be considered, cooperation could be
increased and uniformity of corporate &C
counting could be secured"
In reviewing the work of the bureau OF
fisheries, Secretary Nagel proposed a pro-
tected zone for all fur bearing animals and
would have It located on the Aleution
islands Fox and other fur bearing ami
mails have been generally slaughtered
there, the bureau Of fisheries has found,
and many Of the animals have been pois-
oned by aliens who wanted their skins.
The secretary recommends that some part
Of the Islands be made a reservation and
that a wireless station be installed at
Dutch harbor. or Unalaska and also on the
Pribilof Islands Revenue cutters would
be able to operate to greater advantage
against peiagic sealers II they had wire
less equipment, the secretary says
Other portions Of the report review at
length the years work In the bureau OF
the census, bureau Of labor bureau OF
manufacturers, bureau OF statistics bureau
Of standards, lighthouse service and coast
and goodetic survey.
Secretary Nagal recommends laws which
will permit a closer inspection OF steam

operation which would be conducive to the
greater safety OF passengers.
