To an American familiar with
American college football and baseball
the attitude OF the English under

that directs their athletics is to un-
sEerstand the athletics themselves. To
grasp clearly their spirit we U
see what is their purpose in engaging
IN q sport.
The one great end OF American
athletics is victory. To this end every
thing else IS sacrificed, and few
snings arc considered uobler mong
college students than great and un~
selfish sacrifices for the Alma Mater.
TO this end IS trained a group Of stu
who for the time being snbor-
jinatc everything else for the sole
purpose OF developing themselves into
y human machine which can crush
Or defeat ali opponents. All Is sacri-
s1eed for this small group OF special
lists. One unable to make the college

rs one can we'll see, Is that none out
side the small group are helped by
athletics. and those in the group have

In America therefore the end OF
athletics is victory; In England it is
exercise and love for the game. And

OF love which, makes every piay.a'

not keep him from tackling Q as

to do in order to win.
To an Enelishman, especially to
an Oxonian. athletics is absolutely nee
essary. Iney strive, therefore. to make
~ractive as possible. Few people
through the short, dark winter days
can be comfortable or even healthy in
this country of fogs and mists with
out making the blood course through
their veins by some sort Of violent
exercise. AS slug gish as strangers
sometime find the English they would
be twice as sluggish in their muggS
climate without some exercise to keep
them fit. On the other hand their

In writing OF athletics ct Oxford
one has to keep in mind the federal
system OF the two great English uni
verSittes. a system peculiar to Eng
land. AS the United States is a fed
Grafton Of some many separate States.
so the University of Oxford is a fed
Grafton Of twenty-one separate col
legeS. Just as the United States army
is composed Of men drawn Srrespect-
lively from the different States while
the individual tates still have their
own militia SO the Varsity" teams at
Oxford are composed OF the best
athletes from the different colleges
while the colleges have also their
" teams.
Each of the twenty-one colleges has
q beautiful athletic field. Since the
grass here IS green the entire yea
and since the fields are always kept
rolled n the grass cut, they all
present an appearance which would
compare fayorably with the most per-
feet of our we'll kept lawns. On each

game in the winter the two teams re-

and tennis players in their white flan-

Nation and State Clash over indians.
Madison--The United States and
the state are apparently squarely face
TO face on the proposition as to wheth-
er game wardens in the employ Of the
state can enforce the game law on
Indian reservations. The state Off
cials contend that state laws apply to
Indians, especially allotted Indians.
The United States officers hold in
substance that a game warden has no
authority on q reservation
Several years ago Game Warden
Buchanan of this city arrested an
Indian named Morrin at Bayfield,,
charged with illegal fishing. The In
dams attorney made a test In the
federal courts and lost. The sub
stance of the decision is as follows:
THE fish and game laws Of Wiscon-
sin apply to Ildians born within the
Jurisdiction of the United States and
residing within the territory coded by
the Chippewa Indians to the United
States, notwithstanding the treaty
proclaimed March Is, 1S43. An Indian
who receives an allotment ard patent
for land. becomes a citizen Of the
United States, and Of the state where
he resides, and cannot claim immunity
from the criminal laws of the state
regulating the taking Of fish from the
state waters by virtue Of old federal
treaties. State VS.. Morrin, III N. w.

The government view is shown by
the attitude of United States District
Attorney George H. Gordon. who un.
der date of November s. writes as fol-
lows concerning the arrest Of csrtain
Indians on the Court Orioles rsser-
walton for Illegal fishing:
Il feel certain that these Indians
could be liberated on writ OF habeas
corpus. If any other actions IRE COM
menced and sentence is imposed,

Traced to Senator-Maiority Is

The report vindicates Mr.. Lorimer.
finding the bribery could not be .Sace-
to him and that bribery had not de-
stroyed his constitutional majority
The report is unanimous. being signed
by the seven members of the com
mittee which conducted the investi-
cation.
With regard to bribery practised in
the Illinois legislature the subcommit-
tee reports that the evidence failed
to connect Mr.. Lorimer with the use
of money in promoting his election.
The committee does not declare that
there could be found no evidence
that there was bribery, but under
long line of presidents the field of
investigation laid out for itself by
the committee was to ascertain
whether Mr.. Lorimer could be con-
nected with the bribery.
Having disposed of that question,
there was only one more for the com
mittee to consider. That was wheth-
er Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional major
ay had been impaired by bribery. On
the roll call on which he was elected
May 81, 1909, Mr.. Lorimer received
108 votes, or six more than the 102
which were required to give him q
majority
Had the committee found evidence
which proved that at least seven men,
bers of the Illinois legislature had
been bribed to vote for Mr.. Lorimer
it would have to report that he is not
entitled to a seat in the senate. Ac-
cording to report of the investigating
committee, the evidence failed to i'm
pair Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional ma
tority. Accepting the testimony Of
fered and giving it full credence, the
committee finds that Mr. Lorimer
would still have a majority of three
more than the actual number of
votes required to elect him.
